I’ll get the cliché clang out of the way immediately, if you’d have offered me that point before kick-off, I’d have bitten your hand off. Make no mistake, Barrow, as always, is a tough place to go – I did actually predict we would go one further today and secure the win, we were so close, but it wasn’t to be.

In a match that I fancied Torquay to be competitive, It was a very, very disappointing performance completely devoid of any real quality. Gateshead didn’t need to be any good to beat us, and they really weren’t.
