Well, what a week on the good ship Yeovil Town.

More ins and outs than the hokey cokey, more ups and downs than Tigger on a trampoline.

Ben, Dave and FGCQC Rob Manley try, desperately to unpack what feels like years worth of news – including a frankly brilliant 4-1 win over Aldershot – all in less than 90 minutes.

Thanks for getting involved with the Gloverscast this week, every episode download, every website view means a lot.

In: Five Conclusions

Yeovil Town pulled off a scintillating performance at Aldershot Town last night to pick up a vital three points just over 48 hours after the club was rocked by the news now former manager Danny Webb had quit after just 11 days in the hot seat. Here are Gloverscast Ben’s conclusions on a magical evening at The Recreation Ground. 

Where did that come from?

If ever there was a game the team could be excused for having a stinker this was it. The carnage of this week (see month, year or decade) would have seen lesser people throw the towel in and just write off a performance with a more than fair reasoning to go with it.

We could probably write 100 conclusions on the last week, but I really don’t think we should understate just how impressive it was for that group of professional footballers to put it aside and cut an Aldershot side open time and time again and do it with a massive smile on their faces. You’re a credit to yourselves, the football club and those who follow it. Thanks lads, we needed that.

Oluwabori has grown up

He is a different lad this time around isn’t he? We spoke on the podcast about how he was exciting and energetic but in the two boxes he lacked that extra bit of quality in his first stint, but with plenty of National League games and a few in the EFL under his belt, it does feel like we have got a slightly different player this time around.

He is making better decisions in key areas and has retained that eye catching ability to turn the edge of our box into the edge of theirs in a flash. He looks desperate for his first goal of his second stint and I feel like its not far away.

Penalty options

Remember when Yeovil getting a penalty meant fearing we wouldn’t have anyone capable of slotting a ball home from 12 yards?

Well, yesterday, with Messrs McGavin and Morias off the pitch, I was delighted to see not one, but two players race to grab a ball and march towards the spot.  Tahvon Campbell eventually got the nod after a little mediation from Luke McCormick to Oluwabori who looked just as eager to take it. 

Campbell scored, to make it 4-0 and put even the most tiniest Gateshead-based PTSD to bed. I like knowing we have spot kick options.

The Kyle Ferguson conundrum

The simple act of showing Aldershot fans the four fingers as he waits on the sidelines, might have just tipped me over into DFILWF territory.  But here’s the thing, just about no Yeovil fan likes having a back three. So, how do you navigate this?

You can’t drop or shift either Williams or Wannell to a full back to accommodate, and you sure as anything can’t drop Ferguson right now. He’s playing as well as anyone in the team at the moment. Maybe… maybe we like wing backs now? *shudders* 

Avoiding an after the Lord Mayor’s Show

It’s been a frankly ridiculous (and yet somehow relatively normal) week and that response was absolutely brilliant. 

The 200 Yeovil fans there (and the rest watching on via the DAZN stream) are going to go home and tell people it’s excellent again. That might put some more bums on seats for the visit of Altrincham to Huish Park on Saturday, but whilst I’m reluctant to ask even more of this group, a home win to back that up would feel like it counts double.

We’ve done a bit of win one-lose one a bit recently, turning one of those into a positive run of form would do so much to alleviate some of the anxiety and worry the fan base has right now. 

We don’t do normal, do we?

Tahvon Campbell was at the double on Wednesday night netting two of the Glovers’ four goals against Aldershot.

His second, a cooly slotted home penalty.

Those goals, and his overall performance land him a spot in the Enterprise Team of the Midweek. 

Great stuff, Tahv!

Yeovil Town are back at Huish Park this Saturday and taking charge of the game will be Wayne Cartmel.

Cartmel is no stranger to the Home of football (in Somerset, at least), he was in charge for a disastrous 3-0 home defeat to Boston last season and took charge of a 1-0 home win over Dagenham here back in the 2022/23 season.

Cartmel, booked both Finn Cousin-Dawson and Jahmari Clarke (remember him) in that Boston defeat.

This season, he’s taken charge of just two National League games, a couple mid mannered affairs, but also reffed a spicy affair between Ipswich U21s and Derby U21s, seven goals and seven yellows. 

Niall Felton and Adam Ricketts are his assistants and Jack Clench will be on fourth official duties.
