Torres: 'We will do our best to get three points'
The creepies slipped down to third following a goalless draw at Bristol Rovers last weekend but are just one point behind the league leading Shrimpers and Cheltenham Town, the Gloucester Robins being six strikes behind Southend on goal difference.
However, Torres expects a tough game at Home Park against a Plymouth side now recovering from their miserable start to the season, but still remain stuck second from bottom in the middle of three clubs on 21
Even so, he's hoping the fourth tiers' Red Devils will take advantage of any slip up by their rivals, Cheltenham take on Mark McGhee's Bristol Rovers at home, to regain top spot!
Torres told www.crawleytownfc.com: "It looks like they have picked up a bit, it's going to be a long trip and a hard game but we will do our best to get three points. We are only one point below and we are aiming to be top again."
We're see mate, but I hope he's more dangerous than his Chelsea namesake!
Crawley Town visit Roots Hall in front of the Sky cameras on Monday, March 5th.
