Thorpe banned for stags clash

New Torquay loan striker Lee Thorpe will miss Saturday's League Two home game against Mansfield through suspension.

Thorpe picked up his fifth booking of the season in the 1-0 defeat at Northampton on Friday - the other four coming while on loan at Peterborough.

Gulls boss John Cornforth said: "It's not ideal losing him for the Mansfield game, but at least the ban will be out of the way."
