Hornchurch visit on Saturday still unbeaten, and with a two-point lead at the top. Wotton is not surprised by their form.
He said: “They’ve got a lot of experience and recruited very well in the summer, so I’m not surprised by the league table at all.
“It’s a tough league and they’ve had a fantastic start, but we’re obviously focused on ourselves.
“I feel that we’ve done some really fantastic stuff this year, and areas to improve on. That wouldn’t change if we were top of the league, or second or third.”
Torquay had to settle for fifth place last season, before losing in the play-off semi-finals, and Wotton says they won’t be derailed by Saturday’s defeat.
“I think you learn from previous experiences. I’m not a huge believer in looking backwards, I like to look forward,” he said.
“It’s very easy to sit here and say it will change. It has to, and nine times out of 10 when something has to change, it does.
“I’m not going to say I’m worried or concerned, (but) it’s got to be better. There is no middle ground on that, and it will get better.”
With 19 points from a possible 21 at home this season, Wotton knows how key the home crowd are.
“We’ve been really good at home, and the fans have had a major, major part to play in that,” he said.
“The atmosphere is terrific. Hopefully we get a good crowd again. We’re ready. You can only be positive.
“What’s done is done. It ain’t going to change. You can only affect the future. So I’m in a very good headspace and the players are positive”.
