Torquay United manager Paul Wotton said he was "frustrated" by his side's missed chances after they drew at home to Aveley in the National League South.

A goal from Matthew Carson gave the Gulls a lead in first-half stoppage time, before striker Alex Hernandez scored within 12 minutes of the restart.

Wotton, who made three changes from last week's late win at Chesham, told ����ý Radio Devon: "I think frustration's the right word, and our tempo was very slow in the first half.

"Our creativity in the wide areas was really good but the centre-forwards haven't made [Aveley's] keeper work hard enough."

He added: "When you put balls in the box you have to have bodies in there, but our movement was poor in the area.

"We didn't look in any danger because defensively we looked comfortable, but our decision-making wasn't terrific."

The result saw the Gulls drop to fourth, but only three points from the top of the table.

When asked how he would get a reaction from his players against Chippenham on Tuesday, Wotton said: "It should be a tough one, but we'll get ready and go again.

"I think it's important not to mention words like 'back on track' because we're not off-track, we're firmly on-track."

He also praised the more than 3,250 fans who turned up for Saturday's match at Plainmoor. saying: "The fans were brilliant, and they stuck with us.

"You could feel the momentum building in the last 15 minutes but it's unfortunate we couldn't reward them."
