The Blackdown Hills Derby (Yeovil v Exeter)

[MrGloverLover]

After a 'battling' display to draw at Mansfield last weekend we will no doubt be buoyant and looking for a win.

Or not. Actually not. We'll get to half time with a quite encouraging display then inexplicably sit back and invite Exeter to spend the second half attacking us and lose to an 87th minute goal. Darren Way will then say he's proud of the team and they way they kept going and showed spirit.

1-0 to Exeter.

5-0 Yeovil.

Players overdid it at the work Christmas lunch and can barely walk.

Tisdales lovely Xmas jumper is scant consolation.

 

[Moomin]

We’ve got a good record at Yeovil but most games between us have been very close over the past few seasons, so I expect it to be a game that’s decided by the odd goal, or it ends all square.

We can’t seem to win away anymore which is a strange feeling for us and Yeovil fighting to stay out the bottom two, so I will go for a 2-2 draw.

Stockley and Holmes for us. Surridge double for Yeovil.

 

[Trapdoor]

Zoko should have had a red card for that challenge on JMT.

 

[Trapdoor]

Never a pen. Referee has had a mare.

 

[MrGloverLover]

Well that was a pleasant surprise! A very good performance and a very much deserved win against an Exeter side bereft of ideas. It was only a mistake that allowed them in to score and we could easily have doubled our tally.

It was a penalty because the ref gave it, Zoko knew what he was doing but Pym shouldn't have fouled him.

 

[Moomin]

No use bitching about a dubious penalty, the fact is we are suddenly utter shite away from home. Think that’s 4 league away defeats in a row against teams we’d hope to take points off. Not good enough.

Sounds like Yeovil thoroughly deserved the win today, so we have to move on and try to sort this out.

Two home games coming up against FGR and Barnet which we need to win

 

[Trapdoor]

Yeah we deserve to lose.

James playing suicidal passes like that is a recipe for losing.
We didn't create enough to win either, so well done Yeovil, hope you enjoy the Xmas gift of three easy points.
