CHAPELL HITS FIVE

Torquay United manager Alan Knill is backing winger Jordan Chapell to hit double figures for the Gulls after scoring his fifth goal of the season in their draw against Portsmouth.

Chapell opened the scoring after 17 seconds of the kick-off with the fastest goal scored by any Torquay player and Knill believes that there is more to come from the former Sheffield United starlet.

"We set a target with Jordan at the start of the season and he is well on the way to achieving it," said Knill.

"If players want to develop and want to move on, and wide players especially, they have to chip in with goals and a lot of people look for that first.

"If you can score 10 to 11 goals from a wide position that's what teams higher up are looking for.

"We've set some targets for him and his overall game we think is getting better, every now and again we have to rest him because he is high energy all the time."
