Another week, another Glovers’ representative in the official Vanarama Team of the Week.
Rhys Murphy‘s goal(s?) helped the Glovers pull off their second Cup upset in the FA Cup by beating National League side Gateshead.
Well in Rhys!
When is a Loan Watch not a ‘Loan Watch’?
There wasn’t a lot of football on offer for the plethora of Glovers out on loan…
Will Buse did get himself 90 Minutes of football for Bath City, they lost 1-0 to Torquay down at Plainmoor in a National League South clash, only a single Shaun Donnellan (remember him?) goal separated the sides.
There were postponed games which prevented the rest getting any game time, that list in full; (deep breath) Lewis Williams (Tiverton), Ollie Haste (Dorchester), Benjani Jr (Melksham), Charlie Bateson (Shepton Mallet), Jacob Shore, Max Dyer and Mason Alden (Welton Rovers), Aidan Skiverton (Sherborne), Josh Haskett, Jack Bareham, Fin Haste (Gillingham)
We finish with better news though that Malachi Linton would have been in contention to make his Taunton Town return today against Farnborough in the National League South, but that match, like so many others, fell foul to the weather!

We are delighted to welcome Malachi Linton back to squad after he was cleared for first team action.
He was due to be in the squad for today’s game against Farnborough, but will now make his return in the coming matches.… pic.twitter.com/ef6WSGGvpe

The Football Association have published a list of officials for this Weekend’s FA Cup first round tie.
For those of you interested in those kind of things… here’s who will be officiating Yeovil Town v Gateshead (hopefully)
33. Yeovil Town v Gateshead
Referee: Gary Parsons
Assistants: Thomas Staten and Ryan Saward
4th Official: Samuel Fudge
As far as we can tell, Mr Parsons refereed the Glovers four times last season;
the 2-1 home defeat to Barnet (the one where we go Dale Gorman-ed),
the 0-0 draw at Notts County (the one with the Parma Violet Party Poopers in front of a record National League crowd),
and the 1-0 win over Eastleigh (the one before it all starting going wrong.)
we also exited the FA Trophy on Penalties to Dorking Wanderers at the watch of Mr Parsons.
Welcome to Somerset once again Mr Parsons, I hope you brought your wellington boots!
Yeovil Town’s young Glovers have crashed out of the Somerset Men’s Premier Cup after a Wednesday night clash in Clevedon, losing out 5-1.
Yeovil named just a few full professionals in the starting line up, with Lewis Williams, Ollie Haste and Benjani joining Charlie Bateson and the rest of the Under 18s set up.
The game’s kick off was delayed by 15 minutes, a tannoy announcement seemingly suggested that only eight of the YTFC side had arrived in good time… and the kit wasn’t in town either.
When all 11 were in the vicinity of the HAND Stadium, and wearing the kit, the home side got off to a rapid start going 2-0 up inside ten minutes, the hectic opening continues with the Glovers getting one back from Charlie Bateson, a clever header from a Mason Alden set piece – carrying on his excellent goal scoring form from his loan at Shepton Mallet.
However, the one goal deficit was soon back at two with Owen Punselie pouncing to slot beyond Williams.
The rest of the half lacked much in the way of quality chances, with the chaos of the first 15 minutes not replicated for the full 45.
The second half started off much in the same fashion as the first, with Clevedon in the ascendancy.
As the conditions started to worsen, the quality of football maybe wasn’t at its absolute best, the Glovers struggling to complete the final pass and take the game by the scruff of the neck.
A fourth goal was for Clevedon wasn’t too far away and on the hour mark, Sol Kent put the game probably beyond the Glovers.
Under 18s manager, Matt Percival made changes to get back into the game, but despite some decent link up play between Benjani Jr and Bateson up front, chances weren’t forthcoming.
Well, at least not for the Glovers, Sam Beresford would complete a hat trick with a well worked goal from a quick set piece.
Despite the score line, the youngsters do deserve credit for their efforts, on more than one occasion, Haste, Skiverton Jnr, and ‘keeper Lewis Williams kept the score down with blocks, challenges and saves.
With Mark Cooper and Josh Staunton in attendance, could one or two young lads have put themselves into the equation for Saturday with nine substitutes able to be named in the FA Cup proper?
The result means the quadruple is no longer on for Yeovil, it’ll have to be just the treble instead.

No less than three of Yeovil’s October opponents have been given slaps on the rest (and a little bit more), by the FA in the Monthly Charges wrap up.
Starting with way back in August, Havant and Waterlooville manager James Collins has been given a fine and a touchline ban after saying some naughty words in our clash with them earlier in the season.

Mr Collins admits the Charge and accepts Standard Penalty 1 (£200 fine and a 1 match touchline ban).
Roll it on to the clash with Weston-super-Mare, the game which started the 10-match winning run across league and FA Cup – well, their manager Scott Bartlett has been hit with a couple of charges this month, but one does involve the Glovers match down on the seaside.

Mr Bartlett has until 6pm on 8 November 2023 to provide a response.
Finally, remember after the game against Aveley, when Mark Cooper said this post-match;
“There was a horrendous sending off on Morgan Williams, a blatant kick which the guy then stayed on the pitch after the linesman told the ref to red card [him] for violent conduct…”
Well, not that it makes much difference now, but Charlee Hughes has got three matches on the sidelines to think about his actions after he was deemed to have committed… you guessed it, violent conduct.

Michael Smith has been named in the official Vanarama Team of the Week after his Man of the Match performance in the win over Braintree.
The Northern Ireland international is in the mythical team alongside two former Glovers in attack; Reuben Reid and Ben Seymour.
Good Work, Michael!
Do you know what we need around here..? Even MORE loads out on loan. Well, you’re in luck.
We stick in the National League South though first, with goalkeeper Will Buse making his second start for his adopted Romans at Bath City. They were overturned 2-0 by Worthing dropping them down a couple of places in the table.
Off down the divisions below, at Dorchester defender Ollie Haste played the full 90 minutes in a 1-1 draw at home to Hayes and Yeading in the Southern League Premier South
Benjani Junior had been recalled from the Magpies this past week, but he was back out on loan and straight into the starting line up at Melksham Town in Southern League Division One South, that’s one tier lower than Dorchester.
He might not have scored, but he did help his side to a 3-2 win at home to Mousehole.
Shepton Mallet and Charlie Bateson went down 4-1 against Bridgwater United, whilst there were no games for Tiverton (Lewis Williams), Gillingham (Haskett, Bareham & F, Haste, Lock) and Sherborne (Skiverton Jr), with plenty of young Glovers left bemoaning the rain.
However, we have three names to add to the Loan Watch list over at Welton Rovers. Under-18s’ players Jacob Shore, Max Dyer and Mason Alden all made their debuts in a 4-1 win over Millbrook in the Toolstation Western League.
Your Rovers XI vs @MillbrookAFC ??
• 4 new signings making the 3 hour journey to join us at Jenkins Park to make their debuts.
• Josiah Makayle makes his debut leading the line
• Alden, Shore and Dyer all make debut after securing loan move from @YTFC #greenarmy pic.twitter.com/ZKA3Lbb2Wj— Welton Rovers ?? (@WeltonRoversFC) October 28, 2023
Including Malachi Linton – who is still recovering from injury before returning to Taunton – my latest count is that the Glovers currently have 14 players out on loan at various clubs.
In a short-but-sweet episode of the Gloverscast’s mini series – Foot in the Opposition Camp – we chat to Braintree fan and Media Assistant Lewis Catley about what the Glovers can expect from Braintree this Saturday afternoon.

Yeovil Town striker Benjani Junior has been recalled from his loan spell at Dorchester after finding minutes tough to come by.
He was there along with Ollie Haste, but has been out of luck for getting important game time.
Benjani returned for the Men’s Somerset Premier Cup game and scored an important goal for the Glover’s first team in the win at Keynsham.
He how heads out on loan to Melksham Town to get those all important minutes (and goals) under his belt. We will keep you updated on his progress, through our Loan Watch articles.
Today, we have secured the loan signing of Benjani Jr. from @YTFC .
Mark Collier said, “It’s openly apparent that we haven’t scored enough goals this season”
Mark Cooper called and offered us Jnr who comes highly rated with an outstanding goal ratio”. Jnr will go straight… pic.twitter.com/kVKUUqOMjn
