Out of form, and the new loanee favoured over him maybe?

No:

Elliot Benyon 5
Chris Zebroski 4
Nicky Wroe 1
Kevin Nicholson 1
Danny Stevens 1

Add Ellis' two today and he is third

NICO AND ELLIS COMBINE AGAIN!!!!

Nicky who??

Up to 5th......

Dave was spot on with his team, with the exception of Bevs.

Get in!! 1-0 ELLIS

Indeed - Crewe don't like it "up 'em", so let's attack from the off. Given their penchant for scoring goals we have the added security of Manse assisting Ellis and Branston when they come on the counter.

Brighton 1-0 Bournemouth K/O 12:15
Brentford 2-1 Oldham
Hartlepool 1-1 Peterborough
MK Dons 0-2 Dag & Red
Southampton 1-2 Tranmere
Barnet 0-0 Bradford
Burton Albion 1-3 Wycombe
Bury 2-0 Accrington Stanley
Gillingham 2-2 Stockport
Rotherham 0-1 Stevenage

Full Time: Crewe 0-2 Torquay
Half Time: Crewe 0-1 Torquay
First Torquay Goal Scorer: Kee

Going for a 2-1 away win.

Potter

Robbo Ellis Branston Nico

O'Kane Mansell Stevens

Zebroski Benyon Kee

With the exception of Potter in goal (not that I have seen him play, but Bevs is OUR number one), that is a cracking looking team. My only concern would be that Nico and Robbo would be exposed due to a lack of width, and Mansell would have to put in another good session to help the defence.

Maybe keep the same outfield players, but go something like this:

Bevs
Robbo Ellis Branston Nico
Manse
Zebs Stevens
O'Kane
Benyon Kee

If we did go with SG's suggestion, maybe putting Senda in instead of Robbo, as he is more inclined to get forward more, although not sure on match fitness to comment too much.

EDIT: Ok, that didn't come out as I hoped, but basicially Manse is sat in front of Ellis and Pickler, with Zebs and Stevens on the wings, and O'Kane sat "in the hole" as an attacking midfielder.

:Oops:

Must admit, I did wonder how you knew I was on the way to the Chinese last night - thought it was rather coincedental, until you sent me what I had sent you.

Just glad that was a "clean" text!!

Dave,

The Chinese was lovely - I had to eat yours too as you never showed.....

Wivel,

If you are a typical example of a "true supporter" of Torquay, then give me part time, disinterested supporters over you anyday of the week!!

Make your mind up Wivel me old mucker - in one thread you are bemoaning the lack of atmosphere, and in this one you are moaning about one of the main reasons why there IS an atmosphere at Plainmoor now.

It's one or the other old boy!!

Matt.

What are you going to fill the rest of the area with?

Yeah, it may be a benefit to the club, but the purchase of a couple more players would be of a greater benefit right now (I am aware we can't buy players yet, but you know what I mean I'm sure!)
