1. Is Neil Warnock the footballing equivalent of the Easter Bunny?
Cardiff City manager and former Gulls' boss Neil Warnock's delivery of Rhys Healey to Gary Owers on loan until the end of the season could turn out to be the greatest Easter gift of all.
Healey marked his debut for United on Good Friday against Chester FC with an angled effort on three minutes. In his withdrawn attacking role behind Elliot Romain and Brett Williams, his touch and movement looked a different proposition to what you would normally find from most forwards in the National League and Warnock - who steered the Gulls to safety in 1993 - could have another role to play in another United Great Escape.
2. The form of Brett Williams and Elliott Romain has been and will be instrumental.
Following the Gulls' back-to-back victories over Brett Williams and Elliot Romain remain on track towards overhauling the five goals scored by current joint-leading scorers Jamie Reid and Luke Young (five). Williams' opening penalty against Woking took his tally to three and Romain's header, from Luke Young's corner, against Chester was his fourth of the campaign - so it's now a case of more of the same please.
3. Goals from other players are important too.
Following Woking's equaliser from Reece Grego-Cox, it appeared as though the Gulls needed a goal out of nothing - and they got one three minutes later through Connor Lemonheigh-Evans. The Bristol City loanee picked the perfect opportunity to open his account for United, as he found the back of the net from 25-yards after being teed up by his midfield partner Luke Young. It was the 11th goal scored by a midfielder for the Gulls this season: Young 5, George Dowling 2, Josh McQuoid 2, Lemonheigh-Evans 1, Aaron Barnes 1.
4. United have been able to beat 'bogey sides' this season.
Prior to this season, Torquay United hadn't beaten Barrow since March 2009 or Woking since September 2014. However, this season the Gulls beat Barrow 3-1 in February and have ended their 'hoo-doo' against Woking in what was a 'cup final' for both sides - a game that United had to win and one that Woking couldn't to lose, but the Gulls won now have another six 'cup finals' between now and the end of the season.
5. Defensively sound.
Whilst United have scored six goals in their last five matches, they have only conceded three times (Maidstone United, Solihull Moors and Woking) and have kept two clean sheets (Leyton Orient and Chester FC). It's important in the Gulls' situation that they don't concede fewer than they score, but with a forward line comprising of Romain, Williams and Healey attack might be the best form of defence.
