Gulls at full strength

Torquay boss Paul Buckle will have a full squad to choose from when he takes his table-topping side to Southend. Wayne Carlisle is expected to return to the Gulls line-up after being rested for the Johnstone's Paint Trophy clash with Bournemouth in midweek. Buckle has praised his squad for taking a punishing schedule in their stride over the past week, although he is glad he has a full compliment of players at his disposal in the event of tired legs becoming a factor. "It isn't ideal to be travelling to Port Vale (last weekend), Bournemouth and then Southend in the space of a week," he told Torquay's official website. "It isn't fair in many ways and the players will probably be feeling it come the weekend, but it's up to us to try and find the right training methods and know when to come off it and when to add a bit more."
