Buckle pays tribute to players

Paul Buckle
Torquay have climbed into the play-off places in the Blue Square Premier

Torquay manager Paul Buckle has said he was delighted with the attitude of his players following the 3-1 win over Altrincham at Plainmoor on Saturday.

Two goals from Tim Sills and one from Elliot Benyon helped the Gulls move up to fifth in the Blue Square Premier.

Buckle told BBC Radio Devon: "We were easily the better team and I'm absolutely delighted with the attitude of the players.

"The players showed their worth today, we haven't panicked and we've won."

Buckle was particularly pleased the Gulls found the net three times after recently expressing concerns about a lack of finishers in the side.

"We scored three goals today in the end and we've broken the drought," said Buckle.

"I said the other day when it was doom and gloom against Weymouth not to panic, and the players have repaid my faith."
