Gulls fly north without Stanley

08 April 2011 13:00
Torquay will be without Craig Stanley for the trip to Bradford. The on-loan Morecambe midfielder will serve the first of a two-match ban after he picked up his 10th booking of the season in the 2-0 home win over Lincoln last Saturday. Gulls boss Paul Buckle has a number of options to replace Stanley, Eunan O'Kane could take his place after coming on as a 56th-minute substitute against the Imps with on-loan QPR man Joe Oastler another option. An alternative would be to move Lee Mansell into the centre of the park, putting Mark Ellis in at centre-half with Chris Robertson moving to right-back. Other than Stanley's absence, Buckle has a full quota of players to choose from. On-loan Ipswich striker Ronan Murray had been suffering from flu this week but has now fully recovered.
