Torquay extended their lead at the top of the National League table to five points with a brilliant 5-0 win at Hartlepool United on Saturday evening in a game broadcast live on BT Sport. The pundits, including former Torquay manager Chris Hargreaves, were gushing about the performance, but Johnson says they must be wary of relaxing now they are in pole position. “I said to the boys, ‘do you fight harder as the champion, or as the challenger?’ We need to be careful of all the challengers now. It is what I am after – I want to see my game, and feel it as well. Below the three divisions of the National League, football is facing another break – but Torquay will be back in league action at home against Boreham Wood on Saturday, November 14.
