FC Halifax Town v Torquay United LIVE
To do list
Lots and lots of areas of improvement for Town today after last week’s false start at Barnet. Top of the list has to be keeping the ball better, domintaing possession and building some attacks. There also needs to be more hunger and fight over second balls, regaining possession and making life difficult for the opposition. They were far too passive at Barnet, they must be on the front foot today, impse themselves and get the crowd behind them

Changes
There will definitely be at least one change today, with Jamie Stott suspended after his sending off at Barnet. I’d expect that will see Jesse Debrah come in for him. But also not expecting that to be the only change - would have thought we’ll see Sam Minihan replace Tylor Golden at right-back, and perhaps Milli Alli replace Sam Smart on the right too, but we’ll see. Team news expected in around 35 minutes
