Yeovil town thread

0-0 at half time, very worrying news Zak vyner strechered off with breathing problems. Hope it looks worse than it is.
 
FFS !!! Don't know whats worse...waiting for the next earthquake, or Stanley to have the points 'In the bag' before 90 minutes..
 
Very poor performance, only time we looked really dangerous was when Boco came on, fact he got MOM says everything imho.WHY we dont start with GTF @ Boco defies logic to me. ok if there knackered after 1 hour take em off,but no they come on when we are behind chasing the sodding game.

Deserved a point today against an in form good side we played well at the back at least Hughes and McConville try to play it on the floor instead of aimless clearances up field conceded a soft free kick but I think we had the better chances, could do with a bit of a mix it up type of midfielder because time and again they won the midfield putting us under pressure hopefully a turning point because we are uncomfortably close to the bottom.
 
Stanley were a poor second best to Yeovil today and a trifle fortunate to rescue a point from the game !.
When a team has a Captain who's first thought when receiving the ball is to pass it backwards to a defender or, now and again be a little more adventurous and risk a sideways
ball to his full back, they are unlikely to receive positive impetus from this negative play, and thus are doomed towards failure .
Although I usually keep my thoughts close to my chest where the chosen one, who made a real mess of it all this afternoon when attempting to convince everyone that he could play full back !....I cannot help but point towards the 17 times when he cleared the ball without a glance as to where it might eventually finish up !. This failure to perform the basic skills of Soccer almost persuades me to join the ranks of those who pour vitriol on his shortcomings .
( Sorry AccyMad for even considering this !).
As for Zac Vyner's replacement....well ??...

Sorry to be a grumpy old man, but I expect more of my team than was on display this afternoon...... it can't all be down to bad luck and even worse referees can it ?.
 
Mark Hughes should have been M.O.M today. It was only after we equalised that we suddenly looked like a team that actually wanted to compete. It does show we have enough talent in the squad to play as well as we should. There seems to be a com[lete lack of motivation in this team at the moment. I don't know why. I do know this. If we keep putting out performances like this we may as well just not bother coming. It was embarrassing at times. This is nowhere near acceptable. Yeovil were not better than us but got a lucky decision for their goal. next home game 17th December. I hope to be there if things pick up.
 
A bit harsh ? a lot stupid as far as i,m concerned the lad changed the game to everyone around us,:rolleyes:
 
Coley largely spot on. A bit harsh on Romy though

Sorry to disagree, Coley seemed to think the team played well and did not let their heads go down. They were second best up to the 85th minute. then something clicked as they started to pile on the pressure and eventually pinched a goal back. We were a touch unlucky with the offside decision that disallowed our first goal. A close call from where I was sat. but that seemed to convince them that they had the ability to score. I sincerely hope this is the turning point we have waited for. But I have to disagree with coley's analysis of the game. It seems Zac Vyner suffered an Asthma attack, I hope he is going to recover quickly, I know how distressing this can be, Mind you the speed of the medical assistants was a worry. The club doctor should have been attending to Zac. The stretcher bearers looked very put out at being called and were so slow they couldn't catch cold.
 
Well you go in another section of the Wham to us chrisr, but seem to have come to the same conclusion as many in our section.
 
If we played like we did today against woking on Sunday I can us getting beat, nobody wanted to put a tackle in, passes were to anywhere but a team mate, it was just far too easy for Yeovil, mark Hughes is no spring chicken anymore he can't keep up with a pacey attacker unless he grabs Thier shirt, our attackers are too low on confidence they don't want to shoot, Sean mc played better in defence then he does on the wing maybe coleys found a position where he can actually play, we lack tall players, a squad of 11 shorties can not attack or defend corners or free kicks against taller opposition, things need to change and fast
 
My main thoughts on game, are creative midfielders of mccartain, clark and O'Sullivan didn't create enough clear chances(compared to last year's mingoia,windass and crooks). We had plenty of the ball but didn't create enough to win a game. Still hopefully the late goal will help provide confidence to push us forward to achieve the first target of the season of 50 points.

Yes you are correct! Along with many others on here, at least as far as Clark and O'Sullivan are concerned. Compared to Windass and Mongolia they are poor in comparison. But then you are remembering Windlass and Mongolia at their best at Stanley just before the left the club. They weren't as good when they first came. This is still a team in transition and that is why Coley is sticking with them. They will improve if they have it in them given time! Let's hope it happens before too long.....and most of all let's hope it happens this season....:D
 
I only saw one thing wrong. Not enough movement. Boco and being 1-0 down and desperate changed that a bit. We started to string a few more passes together rather than the too familiar hoof down the middle. Yeovil moved and, therefore, passed more effectively at times.
Having said that I didn't think we played all that badly. The defence did well - especially considering only Matty P was a first choice.
Kee was too quiet - as a result of players not moving and bringing him into the game. Boco moves more. When he gets the ball he's often in more space.
He was offside a few times.

My memory is hazy but last year when Mingoia got the ball he was often in plenty of space. O'Sullivan is crowded out. I suspect Jono would be just as effective.
 
We just look shot of confidence!

A team that looks like they've never played with each other before, struggle stringing a couple of passes together and making basic errors...Not the same team that beat Burnley, Bradford and almost took West Ham the whole way!

We just need to get back to basics and get the simple things right and just become hard to beat and the results will come again!
 
Baldy - I suspect that last season we built up confidence with Crooks and Windass so that even when they were injured we still maintained the shape and movement.

Also worth considering the impact that Brad and Buxton (and Matty P when playing wide) had. They both got forward well - didn't Brad surge through midfield regularly?. Vyner is not as good going forward. The Don is a much better player than Buxton but could he do more in attack?
