The Football Association’s naughty portal has updated to confirm the one-match ban for Glovers’ forward Jordan Young.

Young received his fifth yellow card of the season for ‘Reckless Play’ in amongst his considerably less reckless Hat Trick of goals in the 4-2 win over Farnborough.

He will miss the midweek trip to Chippenham on Tuesday 21st November, his former club.

Young will be available for the FA Trophy clash against Torquay though as suspensions take seven days to kick in at this level.

Yeovil Town’s Hat Trick hero, Jordan Young spoke to BBC Somerset’s Sheridan Robins after the Glovers’ 4-2 over Farnborough, there was only one place to start, those three wonderful goals;

“Its obviously amazing, it’s my first (Hat Trick), i’m over the moon, it’s a massive three points, but i”m happy.”

The game itself was an entertaining affair, with six goals, two pretty good penalty appeals, a cross bar rattled and chances galore, Young was happy to get over the line.

“It felt very end-to-end, especially first half, the gaffer said at half time, we need to slow it down a little bit and keep the ball for longer periods and we’ll get chances.

I think that was what we did, when we went 3-1 up, I thought we controlled the game a bit, but they were a good side, they worked on what they did well and caused us problems.”

It genuinely feels like every game we’re going to win at the minute

“It genuinely feels like every game we’re going to win at the minute and we’ve just got to keep that going, I don’t know where we can take it, just game by game.”

“Whitts was suspended and Jake felt him hammy in the first half and that disrupted it, but the boys came in and did really well and saw out the game, which is the main thing”

The former Chippenham man will miss next week’s game against his former club after picking up a 5th yellow card of the season, we get the feeling he’s a bit disappointed about it.

“I was fuming all game, as soon as (the booking) happened, I was like ‘oh my god, what am I doing?’, but it’s part of football, I can’t – in the game, you don’t think ‘don’t make a tackle’, but it is what it is.

“My body is a bit sore, I took a couple of knocks, but it was a tough game, they were good at what they did and made it tough for us”

You can listen to the full interview here… listen in to find out which of the three goals was his favourite.

Yeovil Town midfielder Scott Pollock has revealed on Instagram he’s had successful surgery to remove a ‘floating bone’ from his knee.

The former Boston and Hashtag Utd man is – as far as we know – still contracted at Huish Park but hasn’t been seen since the final day of the 2022/23 season.

He wasn’t given a squad number at the start of the current campaign.

Pollock says he expects to be back playing in the early new year… quite where, is anyone’s guess.

Get well soon, Scott.

It’s a weekly occurrence these days, but another Yeovil star has impressed official league sponsors Vanarama to make their team of the week.

Sonny Cox got his first (and second) goals of his loan spell from Exeter as the Glovers won their 13th game in a row across League and FA Cup.

Quite what formation this week’s mythical side takes up is anyone’s guess, a lesser spotted 3-3-1-3 formation appears to be what they’re going for…

Either way, nice one, Sonny.

Sonny was also named in the Non League Paper Team of the Day too… Spot the GloversPast guest who also gets a name check

The Football Association’s ‘naughty portal’ has updated overnight to show that Alex Whittle will have to miss a game.

The full back received his fifth yellow card of the campaign mid way through the second half after the official decided that taking a split second too long over a throw in was simply unacceptable.

Whittle be missing for the Farnborough game on Tuesday 14th November – he will be fine to play against Dover this coming Saturday. 

For what it’s worth; Rhys Murphy, Matt Worthington and Charlie Cooper are also listed as being on four bookings.

Let’s have a little midweek round up of how the Glovers’ loanees got on.

Firstly a really good return to action for Malachi Linton at Taunton. He came off the bench in the Somerset Men’s Premier Cup for Taunton in their penalty shootout win over Street.

First of all, he bagged an 86th minute equaliser…

… then Mal scored his Penalty

Elsewhere, in the National League South, Will Buse and his Bath City beat ten-man W*ymouth 5-1, lovely stuff.

Tiverton were in action tonight, their league game away at Winchester was postponed, but was replaced by a “Devon St Luke’s Bowl” fixture (I don’t know, either) – either way, Lewis Williams wasn’t involved, in the first game under Tivvy’s new manager Leigh Robinson.

As far as I can tell, none of the dozen or so other YTFC loan players had a game due to a free midweek, or postponements.
