Hargreaves ready for 'big job'

Chris Hargreaves says he has a huge job on his hands to bring Torquay back up after they bowed out with a 3-0 home defeat to Wycombe.

Man of the match Sam Wood got Wanderers off to a perfect start by converting Matt Bloomfield's fifth minute cross from the right at the second attempt. Steven Craig doubled Wanderers' lead from a 42nd minute penalty following Anthony O'Connor's foul on striker Matt McClure. O'Connor saw red for a second bookable offence, a 51st minute foul on McClure, who then scored Wanderers third goal with an exquisite lob 10 minutes later. He said: "You get a little glimmer that there are some lads performing and doing well and then it smacks you back in the face and you realise how big a job it is, how many cracks there are and how many people need not to be at this football club. "That's my job now. To deliver a squad that can do it out there, over the white line. "I think that if I said most weeks that I am happy with three players on the pitch that gives you an indication of where I am. "It's a big rebuilding job and that's been the same for the past 18 months hasn't it? "How a team can play so poorly with one player difference to the team that could have realistically beaten Mansfield 8-1 defies belief. "I apologise on the players' behalf to the fans. That's not good enough and doesn't represent me as a person or a manager. "Ultimately they haven't been good enough. I am responsible. I will hold my hands up, I will speak to the board and I will take the flak from the fans. "I accept it all because the players are my responsibility but those who I inherited are not good enough."
