You've got a point there Oldgobbin.
We blagged it yesterday because though Whalley can't cross at all with his left, Torquay's right-back had the IQ of a toe-nail & couldn't work out that he was always allowing Whalley to cut in on his favoured foot.
We desperately need an out & out striker, even if it's only on loan until McGivern is fit. Mullin is playing deeper and deeper as his game is coming to an end, and Mangan hasn't got the strength or ability to beat the defenders in this league.
