TEAM NEWS: Arron Davies is on crutches with a foot injury, Sean Clare needs further treatment & Janoi Donacien is back in training after flu

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

I'd be very happy with an unchanged team. Yeovil have had a couple of decent results but can't see anything other than a very easy win for us.

4-0 is 50/1 with the bookies. Might be worth a couple of quid on that.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

To me unchanged is a must, will be a tough un no doubt at all imho.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Rest them all and let the kids win 5-0. Then unleash hell for the Morecambe game. ;)

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Thought Morecambe was a Given?:D

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

I would take a draw.

Are there tickets on sale for the Arsenal semi final in the cup by the way?

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

He'll probably drop Rodgers for the don

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Saturday will surely be the litmus test which will prove if our recent form has got legs?
It won't be easy but if we can win again, it will provide that confidence & momentum required for an exciting race to the finishing post.
Could we be the 100/1 outsider coming up on the rails?
Will the favourites fall at the last fence?
After Tuesday night's performance, our boys will surely be up for it.
Can we defy all the odds & pull off a miracle?
Come on you Reds?
YES WE CAN!

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

I doubt if Rogers will be dropped for the Don. I love the Don, but like Sir Alf wouldn't play Greavsie I don't think anything should change at this point.

Lord Stiff - I reckon we've already proved our recent form has got legs. We were already playing pretty well prior to that 4-4 draw at Mansfield, but from that game and the ones since we've just moved up another level PLUS the bad luck we had appears to have deserted us.

It's not like we are a rubbish team that we think might of struck gold with a new formula. Even if we lose on saturday (which we won't) we will still move steadily up the table between now and May.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Fully agree Lord Diddy.
Harvey 'The Artful Dodger' Rodger's has become indispensable of late.
Of course you're right, Saturday could prove an anti-climax.
But if we win, it could be a 7 coach special to Stevenage come the last day!

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Team have arrived at overnight HQ; bumped into Blackpool players on the services with Morecambe close behind!!

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

As long as Morecambe are close behind, that'll do me! :)

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

If the rain in Yeovil is as diluvian as here in Rishton and causes a postponement of tomorrow's game, it will be a disgrace ;)

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

There is no real reason that we should not beat Yeovil tomorrow. Whilst No Change is desireable I am surprised we don't play Edwards a little more often. I do think the rotation of our strikers at this time would be a good tactic. We have the players that can deliver at the moment and we should use them wisely. Things seem to have come together at last for us. Let's keep it going.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

. The man in charge of the fixture will be referee Nigel Miller (County Durham).
Mr Miller will be assisted by Andrew Quin (Devon) and Justin Amey (Dorset). The Fourth Official will be Adam Bromley (Devon).

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Good job it's not a home game, Somerset would have a heart attack at the inevitable postponement!!

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Correct me if I'm wrong but with young Harry rodgers in the team we have only lost 1 of his 9 league games, played 9 won 4 drawn 4 lost 1? Surely can't be dropped

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Harry Rodgers?? Have we signed another one? :D

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Since when does results stop coley picking his favourites

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Whoops i thought his name was Harry. Damn good defender no matter what his name is. We should call him the wall banger

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

I will correct myself

HARVEY RODGERS has played 9 league games for us, in those games we have won 5 and drawn 3.... and not conceded in the past 3 games

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

He's a centre back. Not as effective at full back. Beckles and Hughes won't be dropped so I wouldn't be shocked to see Donacien in and Rodgers on the bench. Common sense would be to go with the same 11 ?

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

To me Orient was our best 90 min display this season, so would be nuts to change today.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Common sense has prevailed !

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

I see that Clare has broken a bone in his foot and will be out for several weeks.
Shame as he is good cover.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Squad unchanged for today's match

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

I hear he's back at his parent club.
Might not come back now ........

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

He's only out for a few week he should be back

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Think that's very optiimistic if there's a fracture and his parent club insist they deal with his treatment.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Brown off

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Brown sent off another battle now to get a point.:eek:

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

3rd red of season

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

31: Double Stanley sub: McConville (who was on a yellow) off and Husin on and Clark off and Donacien on 0-0

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

What on earth is Coleman thinking ? I'm lost for words.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

What would you rather have mconville back next game or mconville sent off

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Blummin Nora. Can't win games with 10 men.

What an absolute downer.

Sure that's only 3 dismissals? Thought we'd had a few more.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Who said anything about McConville ?
Why take both wide men off - and one that was dangerous. Best form of defence is .........if you're going negative take a forward off !

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Not the best question to ask the same pot pishers on here.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

We've won with 10 before

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

If he wasn't so temperamental that wouldn't be a factor,

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Thank the Lord for Rodak.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Temperamental that's brown, 3 reds, he's a liability

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

1-0 beckles

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Super Omar:)

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Both Clark & McConville ARE forwards!
I think Coleman's substitutions have been vindicated
The Don & Husin are just as good as the boys subbed, but add strength to the defence.
HANG IN THERE BOYS!

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

1-1

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

McCartan and Kee are our front men.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Wingers were forwards when i went to school.:rolleyes:

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Carlisle, Luton, Exeter not doing well. Missed opportunity here.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

A great point considering 10 men for 70 mins all credit to the lads i say.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Grow up. Accrington don't play with four forwards.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

1-1.
Good Result considering the early red card

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Sod off

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Thin ice scenario brewing ?

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Would always take a point away at a team we struggle against :)

3rd red for Brown is a worry though... pity as I like him as a player.

:) :) :)

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

There , what did I say !

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

anyone got a feel for whether red cards have cost us dear this season? I have a feeling we've had loads of red cards but opposing teams haven't. Also, we've had a couple really early in the match.

1-1 is about as good as we could hope for with 10 men. I'm just feeling very disappointed - thought we'd smash them.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

I'm sure that had we managed to keep 11 men on the field, it's a game we would probably have gone on to win.
Obviously, Brown getting sent-off in the 22 minute meant Coleman had to re-jig things quickly.
With McConville being on a yellow, it seemed the most logical decision.
No doubt our travelling fans will be able to confirm if the red was justified?
Going off the BBC sports app, we were under severe pressure in the last 10 minutes, so we can't be too disappointed.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

A very hard earned point by all accounts, especially having to play almost 70 minutes with 10 men - well done to the lads for standing firm & coming home with a share of the spoils, shame about the dismissal - I like Scott Brown but he does tend to have these moments when the red mist comes down & it can change the game as it did today with a reshuffle becoming a necessity.
Roll on Tuesday, only one point between us & the Shrimps now - makes it a very tasty prospect

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Brown has apologised to the players, the fans, Zoko, the population of Accrington, his friends and family and the coach driver.

Sounds like it wasn't a contentious decision then. Makes a change.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Ps, I am so frustrated that I have been forced to crack open a second "Ace of Equinox" IPA (bargain price from Morrisons) to ease the pain. I don't anticipate it being the last.

Reckon the only way I'm going to get through this is by going to Morecambe and watching Stanley dismantle them. Roll on Tuesday.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Ps, win on Tuesday and we move up two places. FACT.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Pps, Coley hath spoke.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP7eLSbQIKQ

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Good point, did not expect to be 13 clear with games in hand at this point 2 months ago.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

:) Yeovil 1-1 Accrington | Video | Watch TV Show | Sky Sports :) Good away point, Brown had to go sorry to say :(

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Think it's fair to say wasn't the cleverest of tackles but under the circumstances a great point!

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Cheers for the link Mab, good play for our goal but unfortunately we can't have any complaints about Scott's red card - & Omar, what's with the top-knot? :)

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Watched Coley's thoughts and what came up next on Youtube was Half man half biscuit. Made my Saturday:)

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Why?

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Sitting next to Revived Red again and we clearly watched the same game. Good summary.
Shocking and unnecessary lunge from Brown but, from the first 20 minutes, even with 11 men I'm not sure Stanley would have had an easy afternoon. As it was, it was made more difficult but the 10 men were magnificent in their defence.
Rodik was again excellent and made a couple of brilliant saves. The subs were both timely and very effective. With a bit more time on the field Husin showed some nice touches and clearly has a lot of skill and energy. In Brown's absence he may flourish. And Donacien really made a difference. Rodgers had been having a really frantic time down in our right back area but Donacien came on to take up the left back role and allowed 'Man Mountain' Pearson to help nullify their threat down the left wing. In the middle Messrs Hughes and Beckles had a big lumbering No.9 to contend with but they saw him subbed (maybe the cows needed milking early), and then had to handle the more experienced Akpo, which they did.
Also have to mention Billy Kee's 'one-man army' up front. Yet again he got no leeway from the ref but he never stopped battling.
Great point but it'll be up and at 'em again on Tuesday night.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Only if Barnet don't get a result against Notts County tomorrow

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

You beat me to it.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Has anyone else noticed that literally every goal we've ever conceded whilst donacien is in the pitch he holds his hands out as if to blame somebody else?

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

I don't rate Donacien , One to release in the summer

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Less of a fact and more like fake news from me then. Alternative fact possibly?

My apologies - I feel a clot.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Great point,and wasn't suprised,even wit ten men.
We are looking solid all over the park.
Watched Wigan v Villa yesterday and believe me when I say Pearson would get in both teams !!.
Sorry,I should of said he would "star"in both teams.
Hope the lad fulfills his undoubted talent and Acci get a large sum of money!!!

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

How in the good name of Greek big Gary was he at Aston Villa until the age of 23 without them realising he is garbage?

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

If I were a betting man I'd say Matty P will make it at Championship level. Will be very surprised if he makes it to the Prem. I reckon the Don and Beckles may scrape in at championship clubs too.
Doubt if any other players will get out of div 2.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Matty may well make it into Championship, dont think he will be a regular though, great character, but distribution lets him down imho. Beckles has a better chance to me.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Coley deserves great praise for his brave substitutions so early on. Took Macca off to negate having nine men and shored up the defence. Lads defended stoically and could have even snatched it. Mild disappointment at repelling the Alamo only to concede a routine set piece. However an equaliser was inevitable with the number of crosses flooding in. Billy got nothing given all day and the liner on our side was arguably the worst I've seen. Blatant offsides that nearly resulted in goals due to his inability to keep up with play.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Whilst I appreciate Scotty Brown has apologised for the tackle and said it will not happen again, that is the third time this season he has been dismissed and watching it on TV last night only enhanced my view, he is a Liability, fact. How many games out of the side will that be now? And McConville, hero to zero in 5 days. If he plays like he played Leyton Orient then fine, but he too is hot-headed. OK Coley saw that he was being impetuous and took him off early, but we cannot afford to loose players for weeks at a time at this stage of the season. Let's see what the end of season brings and the released list.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

I understand what your saying Cashy,but playing on better pitches with better players he will improve,plus hes got a great engine.
Have to disagree about Beckles,good athlete,decent technique but loses concentration and at an higher level you get punished.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Fair comment mate,hope yer correct oer Matty, as for beckles does concentration not come better with age @ experience?:confused:

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Ozzy, yes it was Scott's third red but remember one of those was overturned & ok maybe 2 is still too many but I think liability is a bit strong - over passionate maybe?
As for Sean, hero to zero - really? It did look on the highlights as if he got involved in the melee around the sending off & maybe he should've kept his head but he was helping out a team mate & in the heat of the moment, to be fair, who wouldn't? Don't forget, he was subbed - not sent off
Sadly there are some who, despite the praise Sean deservedly got on Tuesday would have been waiting for him to make a mistake to jump on him again & say 'i told you so'

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Having watched McMarmite's contribution at the game at Brisbane Road I presume you are talking about last Tuesday's home tie against Orient. :rolleyes:.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Point taken,and I hope your right,but he's not a teenager anymore and there's a reason he's played all his career outside the FL.
Concentration is the only fault I can find !!!,got the rest of the tools required and when coley benched him he's consitantly performed.
A more pressing concern is we have built a solid team,took a while to bed in,but could well lose half of them,keeper,fullbacks,CB etc..
Coley will have to polish his magic wand again :)

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

True but is it not his first season at League level? i think he may surprise a lot of folk if hes acquired the application, i hope he has cos to me hes got the tools.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Application/concentration is more or less the same thing, my point was he was 24 before he made his FL debut and I can't explain why !!,he ticks all the boxes and even started scoring:)

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Yeh i know hes not a kid, not many moons ago nobody thought Vardy would be premiership,so yeh never know.:)

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

just needs to polish up the part of his game where he keeps getting hold of players round the shoulders and throwing them down. Could cost us dearly one game.

Re: Yeovil town thread
 

Maybe you had a premonition Lord D, County beat Barnet & so the optimism in your original post becomes a possibility - roll on Tuesday :)
