1. Four wins out of four.
By beating Farnborough, Torquay United made it four wins out of four and nine games unbeaten in all competitions. The Gulls haven't tasted defeat since they went down 2-1 to Hornchurch on October 26, and if you subtract their FA Trophy fixtures against Truro City and Horsham from that sequence, they are currently seven without loss in the league, which leaves them half way to equalling the club record 16 match run they set when they last won the National League South title in 2018-19.
2. A second successive clean sheet.
As a former centre back himself Gulls manager Paul Wotton would no doubt have been delighted to see United keep a second successive clean sheet. To a man, the Gulls' back four of Jordan Thomas, Jordan Dyer, Sam Dreyer and Jay Foulston were excellent to a man to keep Farnborough, who were fifth in the table at the start of play, at bay.
Surely Wotton's message to them would be 'more of the same please lads.'
3. Will Jenkins-Davies nets his fourth of the campaign.
By scoring the Gulls opening goal of the afternoon, Plymouth Argyle loanee Will Jenkins-Davies took his goal tally for the season to four, which now makes him United's joint-second top scorer with Dan Hayfield. With his loan spell with United due to expire in early January, Wotton will be hoping that he can retain his services for the remainder of the campaign.
4. A promising debut from Jack Wood.
Attacking midfielder Jack Wood made a promising debut after replacing Omar Mussa on 61 minutes after joining from Southend United on loan. Six minutes after entering the fray he cut inside on the right, onto his left foot, before producing a shot which was deflected behind.
Wood has joined the Gulls for an initial 28-day period, which could be extended if he continues to build on his early cameo.
5. Top of the league.
For the first time since May 8, when they were top of the National League, Torquay United find themselves at the summit of a league. However, manager Paul Wotton is refusing to get carried away whilst the Gulls are only one point clear of second placed Boreham Wood.
6. Crowds remain impressive.
United's crowd once again topped the 3,000 mark as they drew an attendance of 3,303, which included 96 Farnborough fans. With the festive season approaching, there is speculation that their New Year's Day encounter with Truro City might draw a crowd in the region of 4,500 to 5,000.
