Former Yeovil Town goalkeeper David Coles has left his role as Bristol Rovers goalkeeping coach.

Now managed by Joey Barton, the recently relegated (ha!) club up the road have reshuffled the deck following their relegation to League Two.

Coles played 96 times for Yeovil between 1991 and 1994. He has coached at Southampton, Portsmouth, West Ham and Bristol City.

The teams are in for our fixture at Aldershot tonight. And as expected, Yeovil Town line up with whatever is left this evening, including an extremely youthful bench. Lawson D’Ath also returns to the squad after a long lay off. Let’s see how this goes, eh?

Matty Warburton is to be released by Northampton Town at the end of his contract this season, the club have confirmed.

On Saturday, Darren Sarll confirmed that Warburton, who spent the majority of this season at Huish Park, had his loan spell cut short in April.

Alfie Lloyd has signed professional terms at QPR after a successful trial with the Championship club.

He joins Mark Warburton’s side for an undisclosed fee having spent six years in the Yeovil Town youth set up. This season the 17-year-old made his debut for the Glovers in November and he has been scoring plenty for the U18s.

In a statement on the official website Lloyd said: “I have enjoyed every minute of my time at Yeovil, especially the last year working with Darren Sarll & Terry Skiverton. It was a great opportunity to work with someone like Darren who has a great reputation for developing young players and I was able to experience that first-hand, Terry had valuable advice and experience of what it was like to play at the highest level. I would also like to thank Mark Challen for his great work with me and the rest of the youth team for the last two years.”

Congratulations Alfie, and best of luck on your exciting journey.

As injuries mount at Huish Park and the end of this dreaded season is in sight, conspicuous by his absence from any matchday squad since 1st of December against Eastleigh is Gabby Rogers.

The midfielder went from scoring a 120th minute winner in the FA Cup (one of the highlights of our season) to persona non grata at Yeovil Town.

In the aftermath of our match against Aldershot in December, Darren Sarll spoke to the press and said the following about Rogers:

“Gabby Rogers has pretty much requested to be on the transfer list, because of his own reasons, which is fine. I only ever utilise players who are desperate to play, and if Gabby’s desperate to play for Yeovil then he’ll always be in contention. Unless you really commit; heart, soul, every emotion, you never get the best out of these people.”

Rogers retorted on Instagram: “Don’t believe everything you hear…”

Why would an academy product, who had his moment at Bromley and showed promising sparks of genuine ability, would suddenly decide he doesn’t want to play for Yeovil? Rumours have swirled on social media regarding a training ground incident that sparked Rogers’ omission from the squad.

Now, with five games left to go and Aldershot to play tonight we find ourselves in the position where we are scraping together a first eleven, with no idea who will fill the bench.

As discussed on the latest episode of the Gloverscast, we might have as few as ten fit, outfield players, with as many as 12 players unavailable for selection.

If ever there was an opportunity to put a situation to bed, for the sake of the football club, this is it. For the sake of a young player who has come through our academy and, more heartlessly, a potentially valuable asset for the club who could provide more money for the club’s coffers over the years.  That is, of course, if Rogers wants to don green and white again.

Whatever the situation, it’s one that many supporters would want to see resolved as our season fizzles into nothing.
