I think today outlined how important Jevani is to the team. We really missed his creativity and ability to pull defenders around. Nombe was relying on scraps.
Similarly, Key is so important. Caprice is fine as a back up and arguably better on the left, but Key is head and shoulders the better player and offers us so much going forward.

Agreed but what today illustrates is when some of our key players get injured we are very weak.

I'm not so sure. Second half we created four or five chance that we missed from inside the six yard box. The chances were there, we just didn't put them away. The chances Nombe had he should have buried.

Apart from Torquay's goalie were then any others worth poaching today ?

Torquay had a few big strong players today and we didn't get the ball on the floor enough to play! The worry is we need Brown and Nombe on the field together, they struggle to score when it's only one of them! Scott Brown 'slapped' the ball straight to them for the goal. Definitely need some signings soon or it's going to be a long hard season.

Oh we still created decent chances and on another day would have scored 3 or 4, but I maintain that Jevani and Key are crucial for us this season.

Their goalie couldn't even get in their side last year, don't think he's consistently as good as he was today.
