Come on guys, be a shame for this to fall on it's face before it's barely begun!

Eunan, what was your favourite goal in a Gulls shirt. Not surprisingly my favourite is your second versus Plymouth. MInd you the first one was good as well !!

Fantastic feature Nick, thanks for taking the time to do this. For Eunan:

You put in a superb individual performance in the 3-1 win at home to Plymouth. Was there an increased sense of excitement and motivation in the dressing room before the games against Argyle that season? Did Martin do anything different in the build up, or were they treated as just another Two games?

How close did you come to a move in the January transfer window? There were rumours of Aston Villa and Norwich. Were either a likely move or just newspaper/media heresay?

You seemed to thrive under Martin Lings management. Was this simply a case of him playing you in your preferred position or were there other factors that caused you to play so well?

How different, if any, were the management styles of Paul Buckle and Martin Ling?

If the role in the televised FA cup match is anything to go by, the step up to the Championship appears to have not fazed you. How much different have you found the step up from league one firstly and now, obviously, the championship to be, and were there moments at the start when you wondered if you'd made a mistake?

Do you think all players can play in a traditional British 4-4-2, or does it take a different formation to bring out the best in flair players?

During the incredible run from December, did the players ever think that could have been our season?

What goes through a player's mind in the second or so between getting the ball and scoring a goal like the Plymouth one? Is it a conscious thought process, or does in instinct take over?

Matt.

Also, why has Louis removed my tribute to you from earlier in this thread?

A lot is made of Torquay's location and difficulty to attract players - as a young (Northern) Irishman, what were your first thoughts when you heard we were interested in signing you? What were your initial impressions of the town and the club?

What was it like playing at Plainmoor during the redevelopment of the Grandstand/Bristow's Bench?

You seem to play in a deeper role at Bournemouth. Do you see that as your favoured role, and did managers at Torquay play you in your best position?
