Torquay V Plymouth at Plainmoor - Match Preview




Marquis signing set for bow

Torquay's new loan signing could go straight into the starting line-up in the Devon derby with Plymouth.


Millwall striker John Marquis arrived on Monday on an initial one-month loan and will be involved in the squad as Alan Knill's men look to move out of the relegation zone.


But fellow forward Paul McCallum has left the club after a back injury meant his loan deal from West Ham was ended after three goals in four starts.


Billy Bodin (cartilage) and midfielder Ben Harding (foot) both miss out for a Gulls side with just one win from their last nine games ahead of a crucial clash with their local rivals.


Plymouth have no fresh injury worries as they look to extend their impressive unbeaten run to eight games.


The Pilgrims beat Dagenham 2-1 on Saturday thanks to Luke Young's free-kick and a fine team display means Sheffield Wednesday loanee Caolan Lavery may have to wait for his first start after appearing as a substitute against the Daggers.


Reuben Reid, who has scored four in his last two games, looks set to continue upfront when he faces his former employees and should be partnered by Bury loanee Temitope Obadeyi.


Argyle's recent run has moved them to within five points off the play-off place and lifted them eight points clear of Tuesday's opponents.
