Yeovil Town’s festive fixtures have been tweaked with the away game at Taunton Town brought forward.

The game at Wandsworth Drive will now take place on New Year’s Eve.

The fixture still kicks off at 3pm.

It was mentioned when the fixtures were announced that the league would allow flexibility with regards the New Year’s games with teams looking to maximise player availability and potential revenue from attracting a weekend crowd.

We’re all looking forward to the Wannell Derby double header at the back end of 2023.

The 3-2 win over Eastbourne Borough was the second in a row to take Yeovil three points off the top (not that we’re looking) and continue the unbeaten run at home. Here are Ian’s conclusions from Huish Park…

You can’t say we weren’t entertaining. Was it classic National League South? I hope to not find out, but it sure was entertaining. The early goal from Nouble, shooting ourselves in the foot and conspiring to concede 2, Nouble’s second goal with an onrushing keeper, Joe Day making huge saves, Josh Owers sublime winner. It was a toasty day which undoubtedly led to errors from both sides, but it was an enjoyable end-to-end game of football that ended with us getting the three points.

How has he saved this?

Joe Day had to makes some big saves again. Both Day and Will Buse have been busy in goal this season with the amount of opportunies we give oppostions. Day had to make two brilliant saves in the first half, the first of which seems impossible to get to. There’s little doubt he has improved our defensive unit and we walked away with the sponsor’s Man of the match for his performance.

That the best we’ve seen of Frank Nouble so far. For someone who’s best position is allegedly not at centre forward, Nouble has had two good games leading the line. He rose above everyone to head home, held the ball up nicely, had the desire to get on the end of Sonny Blu Lo Everton’s ball before the Eastbourne Borough goalkeeper to get us level before half time.

The changes were needed at half time. Mark Cooper said he thought Eastbourne Borough were the better side and certainly in the first half they were cutting through our midfield and defence like a hot knife through butter. The introduction of Charlie Cooper and Jake Hyde saw us match up Eastbourne and change to a 3-4-1-2. The change in shape saw us get more control and prevent Eastbournes wingbacks having as much freedom as they did in the first half.

It’s been a good week for Josh Owers. He had a solid game in his first start against Weston and he was my man of the match yesterday. He’s busy, never stops running and looks to get the ball forward as much as possible. He worked hard to keep possession after a loose pass from Jake Hyde and was in the right place to hit a wonderful, controlled finish into the top corner to win the game. He’s been a part of two wins on the spin and certain given his manager something to think about in the centre midfield.

PS. I liked the drum.

We all know what the green side of yesterday’s match thought about things, but what was the view of our opponents? 

Chelmsford’s manager, Robbie Simpson, was happy to leave Huish Park with a point, but felt it took his team time to get going in the first half.

“I thought it was good game actually. First half was a really good game of football. I think in the second half they went a bit more direct and kept us in our half. But I thought the first half in particular was a really good game of football. First 15 [minutes] they were the definitely better side and then we woke up and I thought we were the better side for the rest of that first half.

“We didn’t start very well. It took us 15 minutes to find a bit of rhythm and a bit of intensity. And I thought after that first 15 minutes for the rest of the first half we were pretty good. I though we kept the ball well, he had our intensity. We created a few really good chances, ones we should have done better with really. I don’t know how the keeper’s [Joe Day] kept the one from point blank range out.”

On the second half…

“We needed to kick on in the second half, I knew it was going to be difficult. They were shooting towards their stand that I know they like to shoot toward in the second half. They do really suck the ball towards that goal and we found it really difficult. We didn’t turn up until the subs came on really. We were poor, we had no answers really to getting out of our half. They put us under pressure. They kept a pretty high line which didn’t enable us to pass out from the back as we’d have liked.”

“For all their dominance, they never really threatened us.”
