Torquay United manager Paul Wotton says he wants his players to "move on" from their FA Cup upset at Bishops Cleeve.

The sixth-tier Gulls were beaten 3-0 at the eighth-tier village side last Saturday in a defeat Wotton described as "embarrassing".

Torquay return to National League South action this Saturday at home to St Albans City as they aim to keep their place in the top five.

"We had a very good meeting Monday morning regarding Saturday's fixture," Wotton told BBC Radio Devon.

"The boys trained Monday and Tuesday as good as they've trained for weeks.

"At some point there's got to be a line drawn underneath that game - it was unacceptable and we know that. No one is under any illusions that it can just be brushed under the carpet.

"But if you keep carrying that game on it's going to affect our game on Saturday against St Albans, which has now become our most important game because it's the next one.

"I'm not for one second saying I'm comfortable with that game last Saturday - it's still stinging me and it's still stinging the players, but we have to leave it and we have to move on to the next game."
