Torquay United v Northampton Town - 15/12/12

[Forest gull]

Im on shift all weekend so cant travel down from Gloucester for this one. I am going for a 2 - 1 Gulls victory, in a tight affair, winner late on.

Hope Rene finds his scoring boots again before the derbies come around. I can see Big Bayo scoring, off his arse or something daft.

Manse to return fired up and keen to lead from the front. Pretty sparse crowd of 2250 hardy souls that got out of Christmas with the Mrs. Nicho thunderbolt in injury time anyone?

[Neal]

I'm going. Lovely sunny morning here in kingskerswell so must be on.

Think there are heavy showers on the way but should be OK.

Mmmmmmm...... Don't reckon the attendance is gonna be great.

Tough game again, could go either way I reckon. Hope we want it more but who knows

[gurneygibbs23]

2-2 / 3-2 to us.

Just got a Rene vs Bayo feeling

[Forest gull]

Northampton Town are still without David Artell, Luke Guttridge, John Johnson, Nana and Alex Nicholls.

Former Torquay striker Adebayo Akinfenwa will look to add to his four goals in the last five games, and 14 for the season.

Torquay will be without centre-back Brian Saah as he begins a three-match ban after being sent off last week.

Skipper Lee Mansell is set to return while Billy Bodin and Rene Howe are minor injury doubts.

[Chris B]

No Bodin today according to his Twitter account.

[stevegull]

Nice to see Liing persisting with 4-4-2. I hope Jarvis and Howe and link up well and get us some goals!

COYY!

[Jeff]

Should have gone with Thompson instead of Easton for me. Playing Craig and Stevens on the wings will leave us horribly unbalanced

[bixieupnorth]

lots of interference on player today, just me or anyone else??

agreed about craig on the wing, by all acounts hes never looked good out there

Unfortunately it just seems to be the main commentator - Ross Reid is crystal clear

[stevegull]

Remember that Eunan needed to start playing for us out wide to get used to the pace of League Two. Ling is probably just doing something similar.

[bixieupnorth]

aah it wasnt just me, theyve announced that there were some problems, still bloody stuttery tho!!

[bixieupnorth]

grrr, as usual the first goal of the day is the wrong one for my coupon, donnie losing

[exilegull]

I think they've swapped microphones which is better - Ross Reid is now difficult to hear which is better so I can hear what is going on with game without risking getting deafened
