Torquay’s current woes have been epitomised by the way of Worthing’s first-half opener – goalkeeper James Hamon mistakenly performed a brief aim kick straight to house striker Brad Dolaghan who gratefully put his aspect right into a Thirty second-minute lead.
Coleman De-Graft doubled the tally 12 minutes after the break earlier than Remeiro Moulton made positive of all three factors when he made it 3-0 with 10 minutes left.
Matt Worthington fired in a long-range comfort aim for the guests 5 minutes later because the Gulls misplaced for the third time in 4 matches.
Torquay’s trigger was not helped by accidents – centre-back Sam Dreyer needed to go off with an ankle damage shortly after the second half started whereas Louis Dennis and Sonny-Blu Lo Everton suffered gashes to their calf and ankle respectively.
“First half I thought we gave a really good account of ourselves, you can see we’re threadbare in the squad and you can see injuries coming off as well,” added Wotton.
“So we’re putting players in positions they’re not used to playing, we never stopped, we never stopped trying.
“I believed we began the sport so courageously and so front-footed and we should always rating.
“I’m not going to hang anyone out to dry, but it’s a criminal mistake for the first goal and I’m convinced if we’re 0-0 at half time we go on and win the game.
“Second half that they had two or three possibilities and scored two targets, we have had a number of corners and we saved going – the boys endeavour was was there for all to see.”
