Ian Burchnall says Torquay United would swap places with Notts County "immediately" as he urged the Magpies to learn lessons from their Gulls horror show.
The Magpies were crushed 5-1 by Gary Johnson's side at the weekend as they slipped to the heaviest defeat in the National League since relegation in 2019. Notts had given themselves hope of a result when Kyle Wootton made it 2-1, but a late collapse made for a painful journey home for the 600 travelling fans.
Torquay basked in the glory of an excellent result at Plainmoor, but Burchnall said the Gulls would happily sit where the Magpies are in the table as they chase a play-off spot for the third consecutive season.
