Yeovil match thread

Another long trip today for the lads. Will we be nervously hanging onto our media devices yet again with 10 minutes to go, hoping for a late score or sweating it out on whether we can hang on to what we have?
Will Coley act on his often repeated "we have a strong squad" and ring the changes if things don't go as planned? Or will he again be the only one out of 92 Prem/Championship/L1 and L2 managers who thought his starting 11 was so perfect it didn't need changing with any subs, even though we were being out thought and out fought by Martin Allen's 5(?) subs? Will Shay (3 goals in 2 recent games) or Scott (1 appearance, 1 goal) get a look in, or will the bullet proof one (5 goals in 31) avoid being subbed? Can't wait to find out.

Hi Redraine, I know where you are coming from here....BUT...as to being on his own....there is one Shaun Dyche at Burnley who is often criticised by supporters for not using his subs, making substitutions too late, and using the same set of players game in, game out ..... so Coley is not on his own in this respect....

Aye, but see what Dyche did on Saturday after Bolton went 1 up after 69 minutes. One sub at 72 minutes - goal at 74 minutes. Another sub at 84 minutes - winning goal at 85 minutes. Q.E.D. Proper football genius?

Substitution, Accrington Stanley. Shay McCartan replaces Romuald Boco.

1-0 Yokels

Subs introduced in good time, MOM was Yeovils keeper, life can a bitch.

3 points we should never have lost, we can't afford any more slip ups or it will be the play off's at best.

Top 3 still in our own hands Plymouth beat tonight still 2 games in hand on them and play them at home a week Saturday.

AccyMad · 01-03-2016, 20:57

Was always gonna be a tough game, can't help thinking that maybe travelling all that way on the day of the game wouldn't have helped? Apparently the lads are staying over tonight - wouldn't it have made more sense to do that last night & travel back after the game - just a thought.
Having said that, other results around us mean the table's still not looking too bad - Saturday's game at Wimbledon will be massive now

It seems to me that the string of postponements is catching up with us. We've been playing twice a week for four weeks now and it stays that way through to Easter. From the live text it looked as though we started well again and bossed the first half, then stopped threatening although we still had a fair share of possession. Waiting to see if it looked that way from the stands .....

The next 4 games will define the season, I suspect.
