It’s time for another world famous (thanks for the shout out, Sheridan) edition of the Gloverscast Loan Watch and another goal-scorer to tell you about… more on that in a minute.

Scunthorpe United picked up a big win at the bottom of the National League beating Altrincham 2-0, Ben Richards-Everton picking up the clean sheet.

In National League North, Leamington made it back to back wins, Ted Cann, Sam Perry (there’s a couple of names for you) impressed alongside Ollie Hulbert, the Glovers’ loanee played 77 minutes as the Brakes beat Brackley Town 2-1.

Now to the scorer, Will Dawes, bagged a big goal for Oxford City in his first start for them, the game ended 2-2 against Braintree Town.

nbsp;

Gillingham Town went down 5-2 against table topping Brislington… team news for the Gills appears hard to come by, we assume both Rob Hollard and Sam Hodges were involved in some way shape or form.

No game for Sherborne, they play on Wednesday against Clevedon.

Striker Charlie Bateson was named on the substitutes’ bench for Tiverton Town’s trip to Harrow Borough.

Toby Stephens (again) wasn’t in the Plymouth Parkway squad, but his side did pick up a big 2-0 win at home to Gosport Borough, whilst Truro City had a rare vacant midweek giving Ollie Haste some more time to watch his first ever senior goal on loop a few more times from the weekend.

Yeovil Town’s goal-scoring hero Matt Worthington has said that Huish Park was “brilliant, like old times” after his second half header secured the Glovers a 1-0 home win over Eastleigh.

Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Sheridan Robins after the game on Tuesday night, the longest serving member of the squad recognised just how big of a win it was:

“It was brilliant, the bounce in the stadium all night was excellent, back to old times which I can remember being really good, it’s a massive three points for us.

“It’s been difficult in recent weeks for us, to get that win really takes the pressure off us.

“The gaffer spoke to us before the game and said that attacking this end (away end), we need to be better, and believe in ourselves and enjoy it, we did brilliantly in that half and this half, and it’s always nice to attack the home fans in the second half, it was brilliant.”

Manager Mark Cooper mentioned it was an all-round team performance with plenty of credit due to both the defence for yet another ‘cleano’ as well as a dynamic midfield performance, something Worthington backed up.

“They’re (Stevens and JM-D) are two attacking players, two great players who will do very well for the club and I think it’s an all round great performance from everyone. We’ve given away too many easy chances recently, so we wanted to shore things up at the back and I thought the lads at the back were brilliant, like they have been all season”

A great leap (definitely not a push, ref!) by Matt Worthington for the opener.

As for the winning goal itself, a header at the far post was all it took to separate the sides,

‘I haven’t scored too many headers, it was a great cross and I rose first and luckily it went in the back of the net, it was nice to celebrate in front of the Thatchers end, 

“The gaffer said at half-time that someone needed to step up and put the ball in the back of the net, I’m just thankful it was me today, 

“I think we should have scored more, if I was going to be harsh, I think we should have put a few more past the keeper and tested him a bit more, but we will take three points however it comes.”

The full time scenes at Huish Park a joyful release of emotion as the pressure lifted after a run of poor form and the win that marks the start of the Uggla-Sackey era…

“It feels brilliant, it’s back to old times and long may it continue.”, we couldn’t have said it better ourselves, Matty!

Who says Yeovil have problems in front of goal?

Not one, not two but THREE Yeovil players were on the score sheet on Saturday as we wrap up the the loan watch action.

We start at the highest level though with Ben Richards-Everton playing the full 90 minutes as Scunthorpe went down 1-0 to Eastleigh, former Glovers Michael Kelly, Alfie Lloyd, Aaron Martin, Christian Maghoma and Jake Scrimshaw lined up for the Spitfires.

Will Dawes made his debut for Oxford City as a second half substitute as the fell to a defeat at the hands of Farnborough.

Truro left it late to grab all three points in their game against Hayes and Heading.

Our very own Ollie Haste with the late goal! You can watch it… here

To Leamington we go, where there was another Glovers goal getter, Ollie Hulbert got his first for the Brakes in a convincing 4-1 win.

Let’s have another one shall we?

Sherborne Town picked up a valuable point, who scored their goal in a 1-1 draw? That’s right, our man Benjani Jr.

Jake Graziano also played the full 90.

To Gillingham Town where they picked up a huge 3-2 win of their own with a couple of Young Glovers on show, Rob Hollard pulled off some decent saves in goal whilst Sam Hodges was introduced from the bench.

There was no sign of either Toby Stephens (Plymouth Parkway) or Charlie Bateson (Tiverton Town) in their match day squads.

Whilst Yeovil Town were salvaging a point against Altrincham and ‘stewardships’ were a changin’ at Huish Park, let’s not forget our loanees were out and about doing their thing.

We start at the bottom of the National League with Scunthorpe United, Ben Richards-Everton played the full 90 minutes as the Iron drew 1-1 with fellow strugglers Maidstone.

Elsewhere, Ollie Hulbert was in the starting eleven for Leamington, they drew 2-2 with Banbury.

Ollie Haste was part of the Truro side that came from behind to best Chesham United, the Glovers’ loanee played 78 minutes.

To Sherbone we go, Benjani Jnr and Jake Graziano both started for the Zebras, but Barnstaple Town came through to pick up the win.

Plymouth Parkway played, but Toby Stephens didn’t. Gillingham didn’t have a game so Rob Hollard and Sam Hodges will wait for another day, whilst Tiverton’s game against North Leigh had six goals, three red cards but no Charlie Bateson.

Yeovil Town’s battle against relegation got an unexpected boost on Wednesday as Gateshead were deducted a point after being found guilty of fielding an ineligible player.

In a statement, the National League said;

“Gateshead
The Independent Panel ruled Gateshead were deemed guilty of one breach of Rule 6.9 for failing to ensure all players were not under suspension prior to participating in a match – therefore fielding an ineligible player.

The Panel concluded that one point gained should be deducted from the Club’s record from playing season 2022/23 and a fine of £750 has additionally been issued.”

Gateshead sat level on points with the Glovers prior to this announcement, but sat one place below Yeovil on goal difference.

This decision drops them to 32 points and down to 21st in the table.

Another week another Loan Watch and there’s finally some good news to talk about.

We start in Scunthorpe where Ben Richards-Everton scored and was awarded Man of the Match on his debut for the Iron as they won 3-2 against Dagenham to move within four points of safety in the National League

Elsewhere, there was a first win in over 100 days for Leamington and Ollie Hulbert, Hulbert might not have scored but he played the full match as former Glover Ted Cann saved a penalty with two late goals ensuring a win over Darlington.

On to Truro, where Ollie Haste played the full 90 minutes in a 1-1 draw against Hartley Witney.

Gillingham Town also picked up a 1-0 win. Their game against Hallen FC was decided on the hour with both Rob Hollard and Sam Hodges involved, the win means Hollard keeps a well earned clean sheet, with Hodges praised for his relentless work and ball retention after coming off the bench.

Charlie Bateson was on the bench for Tiverton, but to our knowledge didn’t make the pitch in a tightly contest game against Chesham. Tivvy winning 2-1 with their keeper saving a 96th minute penalty!

Finally, Toby Stephens wasn’t in the Plymouth Parkway squad, whilst Sherborne didn’t have a game.

That didn’t stop Benjani and Jake Graziano though, they were both on the scoresheet for the Glovers Under 18s in a 3-2 victory.

Yeovil Town have named just FOUR substitutes for their clash against Notts County.

Jordan Maguire-Drew misses out and there is a full debut for Ryan Law in what we expect to be a five-man defence.

Jamie Reckord is back at left back after serving his suspensio and there is a reunion up front for “Fish ‘n’ Mal”… the four man defence includes a goalie, the returning Will Dawes and two attackers…

That team in full.
