Torquay face Northampton, the team they played at their Sixfields Stadium on the first day of the season and beat 1-0.

And they need a goal; they haven't scored in four games, and a Torquay player hasn't scored in five. Discounting York's Jon Parkin's own goal, it is now eight hours since a United goal.

The Cobblers have a new manager now - former Spurs defender Colin Calderwood - and he will be getting used to the quality of the squad built with the chairman's open cheque book.

United were the underdogs back in August. Former Gull Paul Trollope was Northampton's captain that day, and he returns to Plainmoor for the first time since he captained Kevin Keegan's Fulham in the LDV Trophy in January 1999. The Gulls won that match with an Alan Lee golden goal.

Leroy Rosenior has an injury free squad, but has both striker David Graham and right-sided midfielder Tony Bedeau unavailable through suspension. He also released Narada Bernard and Ben Camara this week, so Kain Bond, the last of the first year professionals, may get a place on the bench.

A full match report will feature in the Devon Independent this Sunday.
