1. First draw since the opening day.
United's draw with Eastbourne Borough was their first draw of the 2023-24 season since the opening day of the campaign when they drew 2-2 with Dover Athletic.
2. Tom Lapslie a big miss.
There are stats that show the difference between when Tom Lapslie appears for United and when he doesn't. The Gulls have won 11 of the 15 games he has featured in, drawn one and lost three.
Without Lapslie's drive and dynamism, United lacked any bite in the centre of the park and when they conceded possession, they often struggled to win the ball back.
3. Three apiece for Dillon De Silva and Will Jenkins Davies.
By finding the target against Eastbourne, Dillon De Silva and Will Jenkins Davies have taken their respective tallies for the season to three goals.
4. Gulls below the line.
Results elsewhere have ensured that United have dropped out of the play-off zone and find themselves in eighth place.
The Gulls have games in over the teams directly above them, two over seventh placed Aveley and one over sixth placed Bath City - who United are level on points with. However, the Gulls need to win those games, otherwise the plan going forward with become increasingly difficult for the club.
5. Room for manoeuvre.
With Shaun Donnellan's transfer to Livingston now confirmed, there is now surely room to bring one or two additions.
Leading scorers Aaron Jarvis and Brad Ash are currently still injured and Theo Williams has returned to Fleetwood Town following his loan spell, so another attacking option could be the order of the day.
