This is going to be our toughest test of the season so far. Having seen Worthing play as recently as last Saturday, I can assure you that they love to play football the way it should be played - on the ground. And, personally, I don't think the 5-1 mauling of us in the FA Trophy was a 'fluke'.

My heart obviously wants a win here, but my head is telling me otherwise. So, for the first time this season I'm going to go with a defeat.

Worthing 3 Torquay 0

I think the way our first choice 11 had started to play, we’d have given them a good game. With the patched up side we have at the moment, you’d think they would be way too strong. Although it may actually help us if they like to play football as it might allow us to try the same instead of hoof ball. I see this as a free hit tbh, and we then move on to next Saturday.

However.

3-1 defeat.

Not at all optimistic about this one.
Worthing very much on form and have looked very good every time we've played them.
Thought about going but decided against a cold & wet night in their rubbish away area.

I hope we learned from our recent drubbing aganst them,we cannot just show up for the first or second half which we seem do with alarming regularity, I will go for 1-1.

Forget the 5-1, that won't happen again. Watching Wotts afterwards showed how much that hurt, you'll be ready this time.

Yes we're favorites on current form, and with as good as a clean bill of health right now it's the perfect time for us to play a six pointer at the top. But form means nothing, it'll be who turns up with the right mindset and determination. That's been a key feature of our recent surge but every run has to end sometime.

Eastbourne were the only team in the last six league games to spoil what would have been a 100% record so do not underestimate your win on Saturday.

We've boosted the forward line since we played last with Liam Nash coming in from Hornchurch. Looked sharp and scored on Saturday but as with anyone coming into a team in good form it sometimes takes a while to get fully up to speed.

I'll go for a home win but it'll be close, by one goal. But with no other six pointers on our fixtures until April I'd certainly take a point at this stage.

The welcome will be warm at Woodside even if the conditions won't be, and apologies in advance for the state of our away section

You can count on the fingers of less than two hands the games we've ever segregated so we're still relatively new to it and the whole ground is in a regeneration process. It WILL be better for you in the future, hopefully in the NL next season

Safe travel up and back.
