Woking v Torquay TUE 24TH
Posted: 22 Mar 2015, 18:58
No rest for the wicked as Tuesday night see the gulls squad back in action again. Tuesday the gulls will travel up to the Kingfield Stadium, Woking, GU22 9AA, capacity 6,036 (2,500 seated)to take on Garry Hill's team, Garry Hill is to me the archetypal battle hardened non-league manager, he led Dagenham and Redbridge also Weymouth into the conference premier in his time as manager at both of those clubs, also Garry Hill spent time in charge of Rushden and Diamonds amongst other clubs, Garry Hill a character not scared to ruffle a few feathers.

In the head to head we've played Woking five times before, Torquay coming out on top with four wins and one previous match was drawn, to date we've never lost to Woking, who can forget our meeting earlier in the season, which ended up 1.0 to the gulls with an 89th minute free-kick wonder strike by Luke Young.
Tuesday night gives us a chance to catch up with a couple of gulls players former loanee Scott Rendell and Woking have recently signed former Torquay fans favourite Brian Saah on loan from Dagenham and Redbridge, Saah a popular centre back at Plainmoor scored twice in 78 games for Torquay, Woking also Have Yemi Odubade and Lionel Stone on loan from Eastleigh and Brentford. Woking have the highly impressive goalkeeper Jake Cole in their line up.
Woking's current home form reads; L-D-D-W-L-W overall current form reads; D-W-W-L-W-W
Last time out Woking kept their play-off hopes alive with a 1.0 home win against FGR and lined up as follows;
23 Cole Booked
02 Newton
24 Saah
22 Goddard (Banya - 88' )
32 Arthur
21 Jones
11 Betsy
04 Ricketts (Nutter - 94' )
08 Murtagh
09 Rendell
17 Odubade (Sole - 65' )
From a Torquay point of view, John Campbell limped out of the Kidderminster game with was is believed to be a hamstring injury and is likely to miss this game, it will be interesting to see if Jordan Chapell, Ben Harding and Duane Ofori-Acheampong will return to the squad after missing the weekend win over Kidderminster.
Torquay's current away form D-D-L-D-W-D overall form reads; W-L-L-D-L-W
Torquay lined up for the most welcome 2.1 home win against Kidderminster as follows;
01 Rice
29 Dawson
04 Downes
08 Young
25 Ives
26 Gueguen
10 Ajala Booked (Richards - 94' )
22 McQuilkin
11 Cameron
32 Campbell (Bowman - 14' Booked )
07 Briscoe (Yeoman - 80' )
Think there is no doubt that Saturday was an important win not just for confidence and the club, but also for under fire manager Chris Hargreaves who's job may not be secure unless we see a continued upturn in results and performances, Saturday despite our own poor form our team were favourites to beat a Kidderminster team who have only taken 1 point from their last 6 games, this Tuesday we face a match as tough as they come, a win here would surely soften fans attitudes to our current underperforming manager and team.
