Owers 'Snaps' At Players After Defeat

By David Richardson

Gary Owers admits he gave his Torquay United players a dressing down after Saturday's defeat.

The Gulls were beaten 2-0 at AFC Fylde on Saturday - watch match highlights here.

Danny Rowe's brace inflicted a third consecutive National League defeat on Torquay and boss Owers didn't hide his frustrations with his team afterwards.

“Not good enough, by any stretch,” he said. “We look like a team that doesn’t know how to score at the minute.

"[We’re] getting into good positions – can’t score from three yards, can’t get a knockdown, can’t get on the end of a ball that goes across the face of the goal. So I’ve laid it down in there [the dressing room]. I’ve snapped a little bit if you like. I’ve laid down a few home truths. It’s not just about football.

"It’s about people and how much they care. How much they want to fight to get out of this situation. So we’ll see how much of a reaction we’ll get on Tuesday.”
