NL: Torquay United v Hartlepool 3pm 6 March 2021

Don't think he really had a choice there Rob the scorer was through with defenders nowhere near him. If he hadn't advanced the scorer had time for another touch and an even better scoring chance ⚽️

I’d put Waters on for Little and put Randell wide right, Lemon in middle with Asa.

3 at the back with Umerah on for the last 15 if we don’t score soon?

Agreed, unlucky not to score at the end but very disappointing.

Disappointing is a bit of an understatement there Rob.
That was awfully painful to watch once again not sure I can continue streaming the home games its just getting too frustrating and predictable now.
Think we will be lucky to stay in the play off zone at this rate.
Its a worst nightmare scenario after dominating the first half of a season only to press the self destruct button since Xmas.
We can try and analyse it all until the cows come home but it would be pretty pointless the Injury situation has done for our season.
Maybe we can hang on in there for a play off spot but pretty obvious this group have lost fluency and confidence that they had in abundance when everything they touched seemed to turned to gold.
As for the replacements that GJ has brought in none of them have made an impact or are good enough and that includes the latest one Boden though he needs more games I thought he looked pretty ordinary and thought Umerah caused more problems when he replaced him.
Along with one or two of our better players struggling for form, CLE and Ben Whitfield who has been marked out of games now with three defenders to contend with at times and no other wide options in the squad.
I do feel we have tried to play the same way without key players. Going hard into attack from the start leaving ourselves open again to another sucker punch goal early on and then struggling to threaten the opposition goal for the rest of the game. Our attempts on goal these last few games has been abysmal. How many have we managed to score in open play in the last six or seven games. Says it all once you lose that threat you leave yourself wide open to counter attack and for the opposition to sit back and soak up a powder puff attack.
Once Hartlepool got their goal you just knew how the game was going to pan out it was so bloody predictable.

We needed to ride out the injury storm but it looks like were just falling apart and the confidence is just draining away.

Even if we could sneak into the play offs as we did 30 years ago this squad would get blown apart in League 2, it would need to be completely overhauled and I'm not sure that is possible in the space of the two months between the play offs in June and the beginning of next season in August.
And it's not only the squad that needs replacing, this season has come apart due to the inadequacy of our physiotherapy/ medical department and training regime.
There is so much to sort out that GJ's best hope must be that Osborne gives him another season to get it right.

GJ as philosophical as ever but as disappointed as the rest of us no doubt.
Just got to hope and pray we can rekindle some form from somewhere.
Could have done with that game this Tuesday to be fair all week to stew on our problems not sure that's gonna help.

No good looking at the other teams and how they're doing now need to get our act together before the season peters out to a sad conclusion after so much promise.
