Wotton 'angry' after Torquay United lose at Totton

Torquay United boss Paul Wotton says he felt he was "wasting his breath" in his side's 1-0 loss at 10-man AFC Totton.

Brandon Haunstrup got the only goal of the game for the hosts shortly before half-time.

He was sent off shortly before the hour mark for a second booking and the Gulls won a penalty soon after which Jordan Young fired over the bar.

Torquay failed to capitalise on a number of chances as they lost for the second successive game and dropped to fifth place in National League South.

"There's no way you should lose the game, but we have, so it's a huge opportunity missed," Wotton told BBC Radio Devon.

"I'm annoyed. There's a couple of things I didn't like. I don't want to be that manager who just goes, 'well, we'll get home, we'll get rested, we'll pick ourselves up Monday and go again Boxing Day'.

"Of course we will, because there's no other option, that's football, but I'm angry.

"I felt like I was wasting my breath today. I'm in the dugout screaming and shouting, and I don't feel like the players executed what we wanted them to do.

"It wasn't through lack of trying or endeavour, it wasn't that at all, that's not in question.

"It's a really disappointing afternoon for us."
