Watch: Torquay fans vent at management after FA Trophy defeat at Edgar Street

Torquay United fans were fuming after their side were beaten 2-0 at Edgar Street this afternoon.

First half goals from Tom Pugh and Yusifu Ceesay gave the Bulls a two-goal advantage going into the break, and they were unlucky not to be further ahead.

But at half time, a number of the 267 away fans booed and chanted "what a load of rubbish".

At the final whistle, fans were equally frustrated as they vented at the staff and players who had gone over to the Len Weston terrace.

Assistant manager Aaron Downes was trying to talk to the angry fans, but manager Gary Johnson was nowhere to be seen.

Despite sitting eighth in National League South, the former Football League side, who have had 68-year-old Johnson at the helm since 2018, rarely threatened.
