Phil Parkinson wants City to deliver a five-star display for Valley Parade’s £5 ticket deal tomorrow.

Admission prices have been slashed for Torquay’s visit as the club eye a big audience to roar them to only their second league win of the season.

Huddersfield’s scalp in the JPT has boosted confidence and Parkinson (pictured) is looking for more of the same in front of their own fans.

He said: “We’ll have a big crowd and the lads are coming into it on the back of two good games. If you’re a player and manager, you should be relishing it.

“I hope the offer attracts a few more in. The better the atmosphere in the ground, the more it helps the home team.

“Supporters react to what they see on the pitch and we’ve got to give them that chance to generate more noise.

“It’s a big game for us tomorrow and we’re working hard to reproduce our performance levels of the past week. We’ll be doing everything we can to make sure we do that.”

Jamie Devitt and Ritchie Jones are both in contention again but on-loan midfielder Adam Reed is back with Sunderland for treatment on his groin strain. City will assess his condition after the weekend.

But Ross Hannah is likely to miss the rest of the month with the knee injury he suffered at Peter Clarke’s hands against Huddersfield.

Parkinson said: “He’s got a very bad dead leg. It’s better than a structural problem with his knee but it’s still in an awkward position and he’s going to be out for a few weeks.”

The City boss is expected to restore most of his regular starters after making six changes at the Galpharm. But he admits the efforts of the fringe players have given him plenty to chew on.

He added: “If people don’t keep their place from Tuesday, they can consider themselves unlucky.

“We took the spirit and determination from Burton into the Huddersfield game. You looked at the side we had out against a very strong team and the lads rose to the occasion very well.

“It’s a nice selection headache to have but I’ll pick the team I feel is best for the job. We’re still carrying one or two injuries but equally we’ve got a few decisions to make.

“On the way back from Huddersfield, if you’d written down the names who weren’t playing then you realise the squad is getting stronger. I said it’s going to keep improving as we go along in terms of players getting more match fitness.”

Torquay are the division’s draw specialists with six stalemates so far. But winger Ian Morris faces at least two months on the sidelines with a knee injury and on-loan Swindon striker Billy Bodin is on international duty with Wales under-21s.

Their Austrian goalkeeper Bobby Olejnik is looking forward to a reunion with his former Falkirk team-mates Mark Stewart, Chris Mitchell and Jack Compton.

Stewart said: “Big Bobby is a good pal of mine. It’s a decent move for him and it will be good to get one over him.

“We need three points to get the league campaign back on track. We seem to be doing well in the cups and beat Huddersfield, who are a Championship club stuck in League One in my opinion.

“We’ve got to take that form into the league and get ourselves up and running.”
