Same again for Gulls

Torquay have no fresh injury worries ahead of their crucial bottom-of-the-table clash with Northampton at Plainmoor.


Chris Hargreaves' first home game in charge of the Gulls sees him face his former employees, and a side he turned down to take the Torquay job last week, knowing victory could take them seven points clear of the rock-bottom Cobblers.


Ben Harding will be unavailable to face his former club but he is nearing a return having been sidelined for three months with a tendon foot injury.


But striker Ashley Yeoman looks set to feature having returned from a loan spell with Bideford.


Joe Widdowson returns to contention for Northampton.


The left-back has missed the last two matches with a shoulder injury but has now recovered and is in the frame to feature at Plainmoor.


Striker Roy O'Donovan is back from Dubai having rejected a proposed move overseas but must prove his fitness if he is to be considered for selection.


Chris Hackett, Mathias Doumbe, Ian Morris, Kelvin Langmead, Lewis Hornby and Alex Nicholls remain out injured as bottom-of-the-table Town look to close the four-point gap to the Gulls.
