Same team as Scunthorpe for me. Why does it need freshening up?

personally I don't think it needs to be but from listening to PC's interview it sounds to me like he may make changes to guard against complacency.
Might be wrong but that is certainly the vibe that I got.
Same team for me, 'If it ain't broke...'

talbot for darikwa, darikwa for gardner perhaps.
looked better defensively at fleetwood & scunny when talbots come on as r/back.
think gardner has struggled to get into last couple of games & would prob benefit from a rest.

I'm with thee. Tendayi right mid, Talbot right back.

I suppose it depends on what sort of threat PC thinks Torquay will pose down our right hand side.
Personally, I like to see Tendayi further forward, he gets into the box well and works well with Talbot defensively.
From what little I have seen of Gardner his best attribute is attacking defences so if they are expected to sit back, however, perhaps both he and Darikwa will keep their places.
We will have options on the bench so I don't really anticipate any problems.

Spot on.
Based on the past two away games, Gardner's inclusion in the starting 11 unbalances the side.

I know the old adage is "one game at a time" but Tuesday's game is massive as far as the club is concerned financially - if Fleetwood don't score we are at Wembley.
So, if Drew is our best RB defensively shouldn't PC make sure he is 110% fit for Tuesday night?
Similarly, Banks and Gardner have been struggling with 90 minutes and we are about to face two important matches in four days. In my opinion they will both be needed on Tuesday - Gardner to attack on the break and Banks for his height.
Smith could be brought in as well with a view to resting Humphries - let's be honest almost any team we put out should be good enough to deal with Torquay.
