Re: Torquay Thread.
To say I was surprised dean playing would be the understatement of the year,but hear goes my view of the game.The pitch looked like it had taken a lot of rain and was a bit of a pudding,a swirling wind and bright sunshine didn't help our style of play.
Both teams set up very similar,and we got of to the worst possible start..
Although the set ups were similar,they were more direct and Howe bullied our centre backs and was excellent in his hold up play,indeed he should a decent turn of pace as well.
Upto the sixty minute mark I thought acci had more of the ball,but Torquay created all the chances,this was due to Howes ability to hold the ball up and midfield runners not being tracked.
That really was the main difference,indeed cooky put dean at centre back to try and stop Howes influence,but he was too good on the day.
Have to agree five loanees can't help,but on the day,Torquay were very effective in the way they played,were Howe is key o that way
