Sonny Blu Lo-Everton in action for Wealdstone against Yeovil Town last season.

Darren Sarll has been speaking about loan signing Sonny Blu Lo-Everton ahead of the Watford attacker’s potential competitive debut against King’s Lynn.

Lo-Everton, who has known Sarll since the age of 15 has joined the Glovers on an initial six month loan spell, something which the Gaffer said was as much down the player and his family as anything else.

Responding to the Gloverscast’s Ben Barrett’s questions, Sarll said; “Sonny and his family made this happen, 100%, they wanted to come and play for me, they wanted to come to where I was, which was Yeovil.

“He played for Wealdstone against us last season and made a massive impression on the likes of Jimmy Smith and Chris Dagnall who spoke really well of him”

Despite his relative young age, Lo-Everton has been on Sarll’s wishlist for a while admitting he’d tried to get him to the club before

“I have been trying for two years to get him to Yeovil, he’s a brilliant footballer, I think he still needs a month of familiarising himself with my ways and first-team football, but he has ridiculous talent”

Sarll would go on and compare the diminutive attacker to James Tilley, who was such a key player in Sarll’s first season in charge at Huish Park, but said he could arguably be better and couldn’t sing his praises highly enough.

“I would play him in the under 23s (at Watford) at 15 years old, because he was a special little footballer,

“As the months tick over, I think we will see more and more of him, his qualities will end up dictating the way we play, he is a gifted young man…he will be a really influention member (of the squad) because there’s no-one in our group that can do what he does”

Deshane Dalling at Stratford

As part of the annual ‘Guess the Trilalist’ game show this summer, we identified former QPR attacker Deshane Dalling as one of the uncontracted players we were taking a look at.

However, with the last couple pre-season games being called off and Dalling not to be seen, his future remained unclear until Hemel Hempstead Town announced the 23-year-old had joined them for their upcoming campaign in the National League South.

Everyone at the Gloverscast wishes Deshane all the best for the upcoming season at Vauxhall Road.

Pre-season is underway for both the senior and junior sidest at Huish Park and the Yeovil Under 18s lost 2-1 to Paulton Rovers in their first fixture of the new campaign.

No details were given regardling team line ups, but the score ended up 2-1 to Paulton with the Glovers’ only goal coming from Korey Andrew.

Andrew is a new name to keep an eye on, the Under18s would likely have been without Ollie Haste who was with the first team for the game against Weston super-Mare.

Lo-Everton in action against the Glovers

The Gloverscast understands that Yeovil Town are taking a look at Watford youngster Sonny Blu Lo-Everton in the game against Weston-super-Mare today

Lo-Everton is an 18-year old academy product for the Hornets who spent time on loan at Wealdstone last season, playing ten times, scoring twice, once on his debut against Woking and once in his final appearance against Hartlepool.

He did play against the Glovers as an 18th minute substitute replacing Alex Dyer as Yeovil ran out comfortable, 2-0 winners in early May.

An attack minded player, he can play in a number of different roles and has been involved in a number of Watford’s first team friendly fixtures wearing the number 10 shirt.

At the moment, it’s unclear if we’ve have sealed a loan deal already or if this is simply a trial agreement.

The youngster is a Scottish youth International who has been at Vicarage Road for nearly a decade already after signing for the club aged just nine. He is under contract with Watford until the end of this current 2021/22 season suggesting a loan deal is more likely than a permanent one.

New Yeovil Town defender Mark Little has been speaking to the football podcast Millsy and Mason’s Football Hootenanny about his career so far and what he’s hoping to achieve during his time at Huish Park.

During the chat, he spoke about having to deal with crossing the Bristol divide having played for both Rovers and City as well a career that has taken in big sides like Peterborough and Bolton as well as his recent stance on social media abuse and the racist nature of that abuse that he and others at all levels have received.

When asked about the expectations for the season, Little was adamant that the squad want to be nearer the top than the bottom of the table.

“It (the target) is definitely not to stabilise, because I don’t expect to be at the bottom of the table.. I’m really excited to start the season, every day in training and in the game recently, I’m looking around thinking ‘this is actually really good’.

“I’ve been really impressed with the team, the players I’m playing with the standard of football we are playing. I’m enjoying it.”

The full back was honest enough to note than it’s likely that the Glovers aren’t competing with some sides in the division from a budget point of view, but that it was still the club’s intention to battle with the higher spending sides.

“If we are in contention with them (higher spending sides), that’s my personal aim and I hope that’s what the rest of the lads will be doing.”

“I believe our squad will give a good account of ourselves and me, going out there leading it, I’m pretty sure I’m not going to be accepting anything else to be honest.”

“I’m excited for the season, I really am , I’m going to be realistic about it, if we win the league, I will be very very happy because that would mean we would have ‘done a Leicester’ and beat all the top money spenders… and why not!?”
