1. Remember the name...Sinclair Armstrong.
Queens Park Rangers loanee Sinclair Armstrong showed exactly why a whole host of clubs, including Manchester City, Celtic and German side Hoffenheim, have been keeping tabs on him on his debut for Torquay United. Armstrong, a Republic of Ireland youth international, had a chance to open the scoring in the third minute - but was denied by King's Lynn keeper Paul Jones.
However, Armstrong did eventually find the goal that his display merited on 41 minutes after the Linnets' defence failed to deal with a long throw from Dean Moxey - and Joe Lewis nodded the ball down to Armstrong, who duly fired home.A powerful, pacey centre forward, he potentially has a big future in the game and he definitely ranks alongside other successful loanee strikers the Gulls have signed in recent seasons, a list which includes the likes of John Marquis, Shaquille Coulthirst, Kieffer Moore and Saikou Janneh.
2. Harry Perritt is settling in well.
Sinclair Armstrong wasn't the only loan signing who excelled for the Gulls against King's Lynn Town. Centre back Harry Perritt, who joined on loan from Accrington Stanley, produced a solid display alongside Joe Lewis in the heart of the United defence and was instrumental in helping the Gulls keep a clean sheet.
3. Joe Lewis on target - again.
Having not scored during his initial loan spell from Swansea City in the 2019-20 season or in the subsequent 2020-21 campaign, after joining the Gulls permanently, Joe Lewis has now netted his second goal for United. While it wasn't as spectacular as his solo effort against Wealdstone, as he turned the ball home after Linnets' keeper Paul Jones failed to gather the ball following a goalmouth scramble, it was no less important. His effort puts him level on two goals for the 2021-22 campaign with Dan Holman, Tom Lapslie, Connor Lemonheigh-Evans and Klaidi Lolos.
4. Community Day a big success.
The Gulls' performance on the pitch wasn't the only success for Torquay United football club on the day. As part of the club's Community Day 1,000 were made available to various youth groups, sport clubs and individual across Torbay to help attract new supporters to the club. All those who witnessed the match would have gone home happy with the win as well as forming a positive impression of the club.
5. Three home league wins out of three.
After losing their opening three home league games of the 2020-21 campaign, Torquay United have now reversed that trend, as their victory over King's Lynn Town was their third home league win in succession. This sequence also includes a 1-0 win over Southend United and a 5-0 win over Wealdstone.
6. Unbeaten record remains intact.
Saturday's meeting with King's Lynn Town was only their third encounter with the Gulls - and they are yet to taste victory against them. Last season's clashes saw a goalless draw at the Walks, which was the first ever fixture between the two sides, and a 1-0 win for United at Plainmoor - courtesy of a 46th minute effort from Chesterfield loanee Scott Boden.
