Glovers v U's - Did we care?

[Habbinalan]

Up from my pit (I drove straight back) and back on the Matrix, I discover that there was no match thread. Clearly we are both resigned to that mid-table finish.

We played, we drew, Barry Corr came on to score the equaliser.

In a bit more detail - Yeovil are useless at holding on to a lead. We played some pretty football at times, started to look happy with 0 - 0, went behind and stirred that famous "Character" (which we apparently have lots of). Vulnerable at the back (although Leon Davies had a good game) and had no threat in or near the box - then there was Barry.

I think I've now been at our 3 lowest away league attendances this season (did anyone find out how many were at Morecambe?). The joys of retirement meant that I had a pleasant tootle down the M6/M5, an enjoyable night in Weston and some great bird watching on the Avalon Marshes before the joys of my first trip to Yeovil. I mistakenly took it as an omen at the time but we had a bat join us in the away stand at the start of the second half - no definite ID but one for the mammals list, which included otter, red deer and a lot of dead badgers this long weekend.

There's something quite nice about the odd away day in which the actual football match was possibly the least important or memorable thing about the day, compared to what else went on. Admittedly bird and animal spotting is a new one on me!

Great to see Barry get on the scoresheet, could see what it meant to him, we have to gamble and start him Saturday, very little to lose at this point.

Again we were too conservative for too long and the game was a very winnable one, but if Yeovil hadn't scored then I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have scored based on how we were going about the game. An improvement on Morecambe, but that isn't saying much, nowhere near where we need to be.

Leon Davies played very, very well, which is encouraging. More negatives than not with the rest of them though, Norris shaky, Carroll being Carroll, O'Neil offering little, Mingoia having a second poor game in a row after I vehemently defended him after Plymouth, terribly out of position for the goal, Bez had a shot on goal at least but still not himself, and Uche huffing and puffing but not really giving us anything of benefit inside the box. All very familiar to the last few weeks.

First time to Yeovil for me, nice little ground and set up save for the understaffed and understocked catering facilities, looking forward to going back next season.

Must win Saturday.

Sorry about the crap catering, it's been a source of frustration and embarrassment for us for years. It's the same everywhere in the ground. Sadly the club won't get rid of the clown who runs it.

We are truly awful at holding onto a lead. That's 7 points we've dropped in the last 5 minutes since the start of January.

When you say bird watching I do hope you mean the feathered variety and not that you happened to wander upon a particularly good dogging site....
