Absolutely gutted I couldn't make it tonight, but we sounded excellent. Fantastic response by Fisher to missing the penalty against Villa, and Arquin scores against his former club again. We will see if it is another Coventry one off, but our performances this week gives me hope for a good season.
Thought we were very good tonight but ultimately poor finishing cost us the win, missed a 1 on 1 and a penalty, plus had a goal disallowed. It took Villa bringing on Grealish (who was a cut above anyone else on the pitch) and Kodjia to turn the game in their favour. Overall really encouraging...
Very entertaining game and a draw was probably a fair result in the end, although its annoying we didn't make the most of our improved second half. Both defences looked shaky and all four goals were poor ones to concede. We were much more composed when Warren came on at half time. Mansfield were...
After our opening day capitulation against Bury, we take on Mansfield and welcome back Otis Khan. It was a shame how his time here ended, but he was quality for the most part and there's a good chance we would have been relegated without his goals and assists. But the big question is, will we...
The John Terry stuff is bullshit, Way made a joke about him joining in a recent interview when he was discussing his brother Paul who used to play for us and is now on our coaching staff. Then some twitter accounts turned that into 'Yeovil looking into signing John Terry'.
A few signings for us ahead of the Bury game, Yoann Arquin and winger Wes McDonald on 6 month contracts, and midfielder Alex Pattison on a season long loan from Middlesbrough. Wouldn't think any are starters but it makes the squad numbers look a bit healthier.
I really liked Surridge, he's got a good first touch and his movement and link up play is decent. However his finishing isn't great, he should have scored more than 8 last season given the chances he had, and he needs to be stronger in the air, but given it was his first taste of league...
We're coming off the back of a decent pre-season, only defeat against Swansea, draws against the Bristol clubs and a 5-1 win over Plymouth.
Assuming nothing significant happens between now and Saturday, I think we'll line up;
----------------------Nelson
James---Donnellan---Sowunmi---Dickinson...
Looks like we are trying to get Lewis Wing back on loan from Middlesbrough. He did well last season, and with Jake Gray still not fit we could do with another attacking midfielder.
