Yeovil Town Defender Dom Bernard has said that performances like we saw against York City will bring about results.
The Glovers wen’t down 1-0 to the Minstermen, but put in a good enough display to convince the former Forest Green man that the points will pick up sooner rather than later.
Speaking to BBC Radio Somerset’s Josh Perkins, he said;
“Football is results based isn’t it? You feel that there’s games where you might play really bad, and you pick a 1-0 and take it all day, so in the end it’s the results that count,
But, we’ve had a hard schedule with Halifax, York and Barnet, hard running Saturday-Tuesday-Saturday-Tuesday, so you’ve got to take that into account,
But there’s no blame on it, at the end of the day you’re out there giving it your all, that performance against York, if we implement that against any opposition, you’re bound to take something out of the game.
We were actually really unfortunate in the end, some of the chances we had, sometime it comes down to a penalty, and those things happen.
But there’s no excuse on our behalf, we obviously want to win as many games and we think we can go against the top teams.”
This weekend, the Glovers head to Solihull, who sit just a point above the Glovers and a couple of places above in mid table and Bernard is expecting a tough fixture.
“[Solihull] have got Matty Taylor as manager now, he’s gone there to try and implement his ideas, when he was manager at Wealdstone, they played good football, and they’re probably in a stage where they’re trying to mix it up, they can do that, they can mix it up both ways,
I think at this stage of the season any game is going to be tough because different teams are playing for different reasons and I’m sure they probably look at us and think it’s going to be tough game as well and we’ve got what we want to play for, but they’re a well drilled side and hopefully we bring our performance like we did against York.
Obviously, we were unfortunante not to get a result there, but if we perform like that we’ll be alright.”
With plenty of new faces joining the group in recent weeks, Bernard is quickly becoming one of the more experienced members of the group and has taken a senior role in making sure the new recruits are settling in.
“I know Marcel [Lavinier] from playing with him, I like to introduce myself early, get to the lads, I like to get along with everyone really, get in there, make them feel welcome, which I think all the lads do to be fair, and make the team cohesive and really bond.
Especially in this period of time, there’s only eight games left, so, short little run to the end and the more welcome they feel the more settled they’ll be.”
