Two harsh first half penalties and a subsequent sending off left the Wood chasing the match.

Torquay United drew last time out, earning a 1-1 draw away to Eastleigh.
From the Dugout – Luke Garrard
“I think that the reaction needs to come, we need to come together and make sure that we are all on board, with a good build-up to Torquay.
“We know what they are about, they have changed managers recently, and they have got them playing in a certain way and they have picked up points.
“They have gone to Eastleigh and they have gone and drawn, I know they got a sending off, but that is an achievement.
“They have got to travel all the way up to us on Saturday and I know there will be a reaction from the boys.
“I know what they are about as a group, I like this group and they like me in terms of what I offer them and they like the way that we go about our business.
“We owe the fans a performance, I apologized to a few in the bar, because I felt that for a Boxing Day, they pay their hard-earned cash, they leave their families to come and watch a game of football and I feel that at no stage, did we offer up anything in terms of continuing their support.
“I am hoping that they come back Saturday and we will give them a performance, I know of that.”
