Match Preview
Gulls fly on without Howe as Bodin returns Torquay will be without striker Rene Howe for the visit of Oxford on New Year's Eve. Howe serves the second game of a four-match ban incurred when he was sent off for the second time this season during the 3-1 defeat to Accrington on December 17. Manager Martin Ling's forward options will be improved by the return of Billy Bodin to the Gulls' matchday squad after the on-loan Wales Under-21 international was ineligible to face parent club Swindon on Boxing Day. Taiwo Atieno impressed when he deputised in attack in the 1-0 defeat of the Robins, scoring the only goal of the game, and the 26-year-old is likely to retain his place up front. Meanwhile, defender Brian Saah will not take part as he continues his recovery from a groin injury. Oxford will be without centre-back Andrew Whing. The defender picked up his fifth booking of the season in the 2-0 victory at AFC Wimbledon on Boxing Day and serves a one-match suspension. Whing's absence leaves the door open for either Harry Worley or fit-again Michael Duberry to return to the Us' starting line-up. Duberry has recovered from a groin injury and has not featured for manager Chris Wilder since the 2-1 victory over Port Vale on October 29. Defender Tony Capaldi (back) and Adam Chapman have returned to training but neither are expected to make their first-team comebacks in the near future. Oxford have yet to concede a goal in December, winning two of their three matches this month after losing each of their five outings in November.

Match Report
Us denied at Torquay Oxford substitute James Constable hit the post with a header in stoppage-time as Oxford almost clinched victory in their 0-0 draw at Torquay. Seconds earlier, Torquay defender Chris Robertson cleared Michael Duberry's header off the goal-line and the former Leeds man saw another header crash off the top of the bar as Chris Wilder's men dominated at Plainmoor. The best chance of a dour first half fell to Torquay skipper Lee Mansell just before half-time, but the midfielder's close-range effort from the left was turned around the post by Oxford keeper Ryan Clarke. Torquay pressed early in the second half, with Eunan O'Kane threading the ball through to right back Joe Oastler whose shot from the right smashed off the upright with Ryan Clarke beaten. The visitors finished the stronger, though, and were denied by the woodwork twice.
