1. Hall is United's ace in the pack.
Although Asa Hall's appearance this season have been restricted by injury when the United skipper does appear he tends to make a big impact.
Hall's brace in United's 4-4 draw with Altrincham in October proved to be hugely important in helping the Gulls to secure a point, and his 72nd minute effort against FC Halifax Town could be equally as influential in assisting United in their fight against the drop.
The United skipper's goal was also his fifth of the season, which makes him United's third top scorer behind the recently departed Will Goodwin, who returns to Stoke City following the end of his loan spell, and Aaron Jarvis who have scored eight and seven respectively.
2. Tom Lapslie showed great tenacity in midfield.
Alongside Hall in midfield, Tom Lapslie displayed great energy and tenacity in the centre of midfield for United.
Despite being only 27, Lapslie is one of the most experienced in the Gulls' squad, having made over 100 appearances for Colchester United at League One and League Two level prior to his arrival at Plainmoor.
His experience will be crucial for the remainder of the campaign.
3. Defensively resolute.
United's defence showed that there is life after Mark Ellis, in the wake of his return to Barrow, as the Gulls' back three of Shaun Donnellan, Ali Omar and Dean Moxey.
All three made a number of important tackles, blocks and interceptions as they provided Gary Johnson's side with the strong defensive base that they will need as they look to secure a path to safety.
In addition to this, Moxey and Omar also played crucial roles in United's goal as Moxey's cross back into the area was headed into Hall's path by Omar for the United skipper to score.
4. Aaron Jarvis lead the line well up front.
Whilst he might not have found himself on the scoresheet, Aaron Jarvis worked tirelessly up front and played the role of a lone striker well.
Jarvis started up front as United fielded a 3-5-1-1 formation, with new loan signing from Swindon Town Ricky Aguiar being deployed as a number 10 behind him. He held the ball up well and always looked to bring other players into the game and he was unlucky not to get on the end of one or two crosses.
5. A first double of the season.
By securing a 1-0 win over FC Halifax Town, Torquay United completed their first double of their 2022-23 National League campaign.
The Gulls had previously beaten the Shaymen 1-0 at the Shay on August 13, 2022, with Brett McGavin netting the decisive goal.
6. Improved home form will be key to any United revival.
United's win over the Shaymen means their home record has now marginally improved and they are now level with Gateshead in having taken the least number of points from their home fixtures (nine).
For the remainder of the campaign, United need to make Plainmoor into a more difficult place to come to as they aim to beat the drop.
