PREVIEW: TORQUAY UNITED VS WHITES

Whites make the 520-mile round trip to Devon to take on the 16th placed Gulls at Plainmoor on Saturday.

Both teams have had a fortnight without a competitive fixture after their early FA Cup exits.

TORQUAY’S RECENT LEAGUE FORM

Saturday’s hosts have picked up four points out of their past two National League games following a 1-1 draw at Wrexham last time out.

They beat the visiting Kings Lynn Town 2-0 at Plainmoor on October 23 after suffering defeat by the same margin at Bromley in their previous league outing.

LAST MEETING

We lost 2-0 at Plainmoor last October after defender Kyle Cameron scored twice in the behind closed doors fixture.

Our last victory at Torquay was on October 7th, 2017 when goals from Cambridge United loanee Paul Lewis and Ryan Bird secured a 2-0 win.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT DOVER

Manager Gary Johnson and defender Dean Moxey both spoke to TUFC TV ahead of our visit.
