A second half goal from substitute Harvey Greenslade saw Yeovil Town survive a scare from Ebbsfleet United and pick up their first home win of the season.

The Glovers were in cruise control in the first half and deservedly led 2-0 at half-time with goals from Brett McGavin and Michael Smith, but a flurry of substitutions saw the visitors score twice in the space of five minutes.

An error from goalkeeper Ollie Wright saw him spill the ball to the feet of Lewis Page on 64 minutes before Dominic Samuel bent one in from the edge of the box three minutes later to leave Huish Park stunned.

At that point, it would have taken a brave person to call which way this encounter was going to go, but it was Greenslade who struck with nine minutes of normal time remaining to seal the three points for Yeovil.

First half

There was a slightly worrying moment after eight minutes when Michael Smith went down awkwardly having vaulted over the visitors’ Lewis Page. The experienced defender went down looking to be in some discomfort, but returned to the fray soon after.

The opening 15 minutes saw Ebbsfleet willing to work hard to close down Yeovil who typically tried to keep the ball on the floor and pass their way through their opponents. It meant the visitors pressured the Glovers’ backline without creating anything to threaten Ollie Wright, whereas the home side kept patient.

Winger Josh Sims, making his first start for his hometown team, was involved in our best forward play missing out to Ebbsfleet keeper Mark Cousins on 18 minutes, before he linked up with Frank Nouble three minutes later to break in to the box but his effort was blocked.

But with 25 minutes the breakthrough came. Alex Whittle got away down the left and got a ball in to the box, Sam Pearson swung a boot at it in the middle of the box but only hit fresh air and Brett McGAVIN was there to fire an unstoppable strike in to the net. The first real opportunity for either side in the game and we’re in front.

The persistence of hard-running striker Aaron Jarvis almost paid dividends just after the half-hour mark when he snuck up on visiting defender Louis John and almost left the Ebbsfleet made red-faced.

There was a bizarre moment on 34 minutes when Cousins came charging out of his area to meet Nouble charging down the right side, he managed to see the ball out for a corner and Matt Worthington’s ball in was flicked on by Morgan Williams, who got a head to it but it was never threatening the visitors’ net.

The visitors lost striker Kwame Thomas to injury with seven minutes of the first half remaining and two minutes later the Glovers doubled their advantage.

A beautiful bit of interplay between Sims and Pearson down the right caused chaos in the Ebbsfleet defence, Jarvis tried to bundle it home but it was Michael SMITH who was there to smash home from close range.

There was a glorious opportunity to make it 3-0 soon after. McGavin’s corner found Nouble at the near post and he tried to flick it goalwards but broke to Worthington who was denied by a last-ditch challenge and the grateful Cousins dropped on the ball.

Sims came close with a minute of normal time to go, cutting in from the left and curling an effort not far over the angle of post and bar. This lad has some quality, I’m telling you.

After a slow opening 20 minutes, Yeovil have done exactly what we always talk about needing to do – taken their opportunities. But, the two goals they scored both came from fantastic moves.

Second half

There were changes for both sides at half-time with Sims going off as advertised by manager Mark Cooper in his pre-match interview along with Whittle with Charlie Cooper and on-loan Bristol City defender Raphael Araoye coming on to replace them.  The change for Yeovil saw Cooper sitting in midfield giving Worthington and McGavin more licence to push forward, whilst Araoye slotted in at left-back.

For the visitors, striker Dominic Poleon, who had scored in their opening two matches of the season, also came on.

The Yeovil pressure  – not dissimilar to the job Hartlepool United did on them back on the opening day of the season continued after the break. Pearson was in the middle of the early opportunities, first setting up Nouble whose effort was blocked and then almost finding Williams, who could not get enough on it.

Nouble put an effort high, wide and not so handsome soon after, but if anyone thought the half-time changes were Mark Cooper shutting up shop, the opening ten minutes proved otherwise.

With ten minutes of the second half gone, Ebbsfleet manager Danny Searle decided he saw enough and made two other substitutes. They are yet to lay a glove on the Glovers yet, but the changes brought a bit of impetus and the Kent side pulled a goal back on 64 minutes.

A ball in from the right from one of the new arrivals, Dominic Samuel, was not dealt with by Ollie Wright who spilt it to the feet of Lewis PAGE who steered it home.

That seemed to rock Yeovil who allowed themselves to get penned in by their visitors who found an equaliser three minutes after reducing the deficit. Worthington went in for a tackle just inside the penalty area, but he could not clear the ball and it broke to Dominic SAMUEL who fired in from the edge of the box.

With an hour gone it would have taken a very brave person to have suggested Ebbsfleet had any chance of finding their way back in to the goal. 

Mark Cooper responded with changes with three changes inside five minutes with Harvey Greenslade replacing Aaron Jarvis, Sonny Blu Lo-Everton coming on for McGavin and then Jordan Young coming on for Pearson.

Nouble was inches from getting on the end of a Pearson ball in moments before the Welshman’s departure, but the attacking verve of before that quickfire double from the visitors was sorely lacking.

Greenslade could not control a header after a lovely forward run and chipped ball in to the box from Smith found him unmarked with 77 minutes gone.

But it was the substitute who both created and finished the goal which restore the Yeovil lead  on 81 minutes. The ex-Bristol Rovers man won the ball in midfield and fed Nouble who had two efforts at goal, including one off the post, before GREENSLADE was on hand to sweep the ball home.

Harvey Greenslade fires Yeovil back in to the lead.

Soon after Jordan Young drifted in from the right side and curled an effort just the wrong side of the post and despite pressure from the away side, Yeovil were able to hold out to take the win.

No-one saw that coming after the first half, but three points on the board nevertheless.

A second half Morgan Williams goal was enough to seal Yeovil Town’s first three points since returning to the National League Premier at Braintree Town on Saturday.

The centre-half was in the right place to  convert a ball in from Frank Nouble with an hour gone of a hard-fought encounter against the home side who came up from National League South alongside the Glovers last season.

The second half also saw the appearance of new signing Josh Sims, the winger who joined last week having played for Ross County in the Scottish Premiership last season. He showed some good moments of class to suggest he could be a useful addition.

But, getting the first win, first goal and first clean sheet of the new campaign cannot be underestimated.

Here is how Dave saw it from the away end in Essex…..

First half

On a bone dry pitch on a scorching August afternoon, manager Mark Cooper made one change to his starting XI from the opening day defeat against Hartlepool United with Harvey Greenslade coming in for Dylan Morgan, who was not in the matchday squad still suffering from a knee injury sustained in pre-season.

For much of the opening exchanges it was a carbon copy of the frustrating moments of seven days ago with the visitors enjoying the majority of the ball, but unable to do much to threaten the Braintree goal. There were a few nice link-ups between Aaron Jarvis and Frank Nouble, but nothing even close to a meaningful effort on goal.

At the other end Matt Robinson had an effort blocked by Jarvis early on before Inih Effiong picked up the ball on the Braintree left and made a powerful run past Morgan Williams on 25 minutes. Eventually a combination of Williams and defensive partner Jake Wannell saw the ball out of play, but evidence of the threat of the big frontman.

From the resulting corner, Wannell blocked a shot from Robinson. The visitors dominating possession in this first half, but it is the home side who are having the better efforts on goal.

On the half-hour mark, Effiong had a shot blocked before the ball dropped to Callum Powell who fired over the bar. Probably the closest either side had come to a meaningful effort on goal – not that it was on target.

Matt Robinson strikes at goal for Braintree.

It was clear from the start that the pitch at Cressing Road had not seen water in a long time. The amount of parched turf  was not something you would expect to see in the second game of the season.

The best moment of attacking play from Yeovil came just before the break, some neat play on the edge of the Braintree box worked its way out to Michael Smith who broke down the right and put a quality ball in to the box. No-one there to take advantage.

More of that, that’s what we need.

Half time: Braintree Town 0 Yeovil Town 0

Second half

Just two minutes after the restart, neat footwork from Nouble saw him beat two players before finding Jarvis on the edge of the six-yard box, he turned and got his shot away but his effort was blocked on the line by Joe Grimwood. Once again, quick movement was the key to creating an opportunity.

On 55 minutes, Sam Pearson replaced Jordan Young and on the half-hour mark and he played a part in Yeovil opening the scoring five minutes after his arrival.

The Welshman’s quick corner found Nouble on the edge of the area and he played a sumptuous ball in to the box where Morgan WILLIAMS was in the right place at the right time to neatly turn the ball past Jacob Knightsbridge in the Braintree goal.

The home side made two substitutions with Effiong fading and Powell unable to get in to the game, Kyrell Libsie and the towering John Akinde replacing Chay Cooper and Jamie Vennings, but it was Yeovil who were in charge.

Williams almost doubled the advantage when he got his head on the end of a pin-point Brett McGavin corner but it was parried by Knightsbridge, Pearson turned home the rebound but referee Carl Walchester had blown up for a foul by Jarvis.

On 76 minutes, new signing Josh Sims made his first appearance in green-and-white as he replaced Greenslade and took up a position on the left side of the box. It was almost a dream start for the Yeovil-born winger as he combined with Alex Whittle and McGavin to find space on the edge of the box to flash an effort wide of Knightsbridge’s right-hand post.

The new boy was again in the middle of the action with five minutes remaining. He turned neatly inside the box to pick out Whittle in an advanced position, but the full-back’s effort crept wide of goal.

Williams’ goal proved enough to wrap up a 1-0 win in Essex for the second time in five months and seal the first win of the season.

Yeovil Town began their return to the National League Premier Division with a defeat at the hands of Hartlepool United at Huish Park.

The visitors, managed by ex-Glovers’ boss Darren Sarll, struck on 65 minutes when Jack Hunter found space on the edge of the box to fire home.

It was a performance from the away side which was in the image of their manager – direct,  organised and with all the ‘dark arts’ Glovers fans will remember from Sarll’s time in charge. 

But, with the final chance of the game, there was a glorious opportunity for an equaliser as a mistake from Pools’ keeper Joel Dixon fell to substitute Harvey Greenslade, who lifted his effort over an unguarded net. 

It was Yeovil’s lack of potency in the final third and a piece of quality from Hunter that settled it and it was a harsh reminder of how fine the margins are at the highest level of non-League football.

Here’s how Dave saw it from his spot on the Thatcher’s End…..

First half

Within 30 seconds of the kick-off, midfielder Brett McGavin needed to make a superb interception to deny Sheron a shooting opportunity.

There were attacking moments (probably not bordering on opportunities) from both sides in the opening exchanges and then on seven minutes Hartlepool centre-half Tom Parkes put in a crunching tackle on Jordan Young. He earned himself a yellow card and, had it been later in the game, could well have seen that turn to a red.

There was a bit more ‘rough justice’ handed out by Pools’ striker Emmanuel Dieseruvwe on Brett McGavin. The big frontman was exactly the kind of handful you would imagine him to be and the visitors were showing they are built in the image of their manager, Darren Sarll. That said, Aaron Jarvis was giving as he got from the robust Luke Waterfall and Parkes in the centre of the visitors’ defence.

On 15 minutes, Morgan Williams had to be inch perfect to clear a dangerous ball from the right side with Dieseruvwe arriving at the far post.

On 27 minutes, the visitors’ Joe Grey was the next in to the referee’s book after a foul on Dylan Morgan. The resulting did not muster a meaningful effort on goal, but Yeovil definitely look a threat from wide positions. Unsurprisingly, the press was the Sarll style adopted by Hartlepool.

Without ever carving out a meaningful chance to test Joel Dixon in the visitors’ goal, Yeovil seemed controlled and looked like they could cause problems from wide positions. Hartlepool were typically direct and certainly had the better chances but at no point in the first half was goalkeeper Ollie Wright extended.

A ‘1-0 scrapper’ was how the game was predicted to go on Friday’s podcast and there was nothing in the opening 45 minutes to suggest that was not going to be the case.

Half time: Yeovil Town 0 Hartlepool United 0

Second half

It was another direct attack from Hartlepool which created the first opening of the second half. Adam Campbell, who turned down the opportunity to join Crawley Town in League One to return to his native North East in the summer, found himself in space in the middle and played it out wide to Grey whose shot was blocked by a fine block from Alex Whittle.

Yeovil boss Mark Cooper had spoken pre-match about how substitutions would be crucial this season. With seven players on the bench, he made the game’s first change  came after 56 minutes with Harvey Greenslade replacing Morgan, who never really got to show what he was capable of.

Wright had to be alert a minute later, a high ball in to the box to Dieseruvwe saw him hold off/manhandle Whittle and nod it down to Sheron whose header was in to the hands of the keeper, who two minutes later had to get down to keep out a stinging effort from Campbell.

It was Hartlepool who were looking the more dangerous and on 65 minutes they opened the scoring. Campbell once again involved rolling the ball to Jack HUNTER himself in space on the edge of the box and curled home a tidy finish. It had been coming.

Jordan Thomas replaced Michael Smith and the goal seemed to spark greater attacking intent from home side. Probably the best effort came on 75 minutes when Jordan Young cut in from the right and his effort was deflected wide for a corner.

With time running out the Sarll gamesmanship we know and (used to) love came in to play. Keeper Dixon going down ‘injured’ and whilst Dieseruvwe was off the pitch changing his boots. 

Meanwhile Sonny Blu Lo-Everton and Sam Pearson both arrived off the bench, and five minutes from but inside the box Yeovil’s attacking intent was not being rewarded with any luck in front of goal. The visitors were quite happy to stay solid and organised let their hosts and try their luck.

On 86 minutes, hosts’ captain Matt Worthington tried a shot from distance which was comfortably held by Dixon. By my count that is our first shot on target.

Moments later came arguably our best chance. Determined play by Young kept the ball alive on the left side of the box and he found Pearson who clipped a ball in to Greenslade by Dixon was there to deny him.

The sight of seven minutes of injury time seemed to lift the Huish Park crowd as Yeovil continued to try to find a way through a wall of light blue shirts.

Then, literally with the last effort of the match, Lo-Everton’s ball in to the saw Dixon collide with his own player and spill the which dropped to Greenslade who lifted it over an unguarded net. Agonising, we have been well and truly Sarll’d.

Not far off, but those are the fine margins at this level.

Former Gloverscast Quiz Champion Rob Manley made his way to the seaside for Yeovil’s final friendly of preseason. He scribble some notes down for us (and you!)

The Glovers started out in a 4-2-3-1 and as both teams sparred early one, the Glovers were on top in terms of possession.

Aaron Jarvis was the first to have an effort at goal with a shot inside the box. That man, Brett McGavin lined up a  free kick not too long after which took a nick on the way through and was saved by keepers legs.

The Glovers remained on top and had a couple of opportunities to get behind the Weston defence, with Sam Pearson latching onto Jarvis’s flick on to test the keeper.

Sam Pearson nearly capitalised from a corner which fell to him at the back post but he could only fire over the bar.

Following a 25th minute water break, the hosts had their first effort at goal but the strike wasn’t great and flew wide.

Jarvis looked isolated as the half wore on, but the Glovers forced a late chance with Matt Worthington drawing a save from the keeper after a good cut back from Michael Smith.

Rob’s half time view: Not much in the game, a lot of possession in our back third and the middle, with half chances in front of their goal.

Half Time: Weston-super-Mare  0 Yeovil Town 0

It didnt take long for the Glovers to fashion a chance in the first half. Jarvis held the ball up well before giving it to Frank Nouble but no one could get on the end of his cross.

Jordan Young had a chance soon after, following a neat one-two with Pearson, Young struck a tame effort at goal.

It wasn’t all friendly by the seaside, Jake Wannell and former Yeovil striker Reuben Reid had a little flare up that saw them both receive yellow cards.

Jarvis showed good strength to hold off a Weston defender before trying to execute a lob that went straight at the keeper.

Reid had decent strike that was parried away by Ollie Wright and then cleared away by the Glovers defence.

In the 60th minute, Harvey Greenslade replaced Sam Pearson and soon after Yeovil found the breakthrough.

Michael Smith’s ball over the top was controlled by Jarvis who get his head up to put a lovely finish into the bottom corner. 1-0

There was a nice passage of play from Yeovil with lots of one-touch passing which finished up with Jordan Young striking wide.

The entrance of Greenslade saw Yeovil go more direct and look more threatening, creating a couple of chances for Jarvis. 

Sonny Blu Lo-Everton entered the fray and made an impact grabbing Yeovil’s second. Young’s great ball into box found Lo-Everton who took one touch before picking out the top corner. 2-0

Rob’s Full Time View: Decent run out against a physical, well-drilled Weston side. Our direct play made the difference, balls over the top, crosses into the box and getting the ball forward quickly was the key to the performance and result.

A first half double from Harvey Greenslade saw Yeovil Town cruise to a comfortable victory at Western League Premier Division side Buckland Athletic in their penultimate pre-season friendly on Tuesday night.

The former Bristol Rovers’ youngster, signed in the summer following his release from the Memorial Ground, struck either side of a Jordan Young goal in Devon with the visitors in cruise control in the opening 45 minutes.

To their credit, Buckland improved after the break and made it a closer contest but substitutes Michael Smith and Frank Nouble both found the net in the final 15 minutes to make it a comprehensive win for Mark Cooper’s side.

They travel to Weston-super-Mare on Saturday for their final warm-up match ahead of the start of the National League Premier Division season against Darren Sarll’s Hartlepool United on August 10th.

First half

If any fans at Homers’ Heath were at Farnborough to see a slow start against a higher division outfit at the weekend, they were treated to a rapid start from the Glovers.

Jordan Young had a shot blocked inside the box after just two minutes and two minutes after that Sam Pearson had the ball in the net, only for him to be denied by the offside flag.

But, after five minutes the visitors took the lead through Harvey GREENSLADE. The former Bristol Rovers man collected a through ball through the centre of the pitch and slotted it under the oncoming Adam Seedhouse-Evans in the Buckland goal.

A minute later it was Yeovil goalkeeper/coach Matt Gould who was in action, parrying away an effort from striker Ryan Bush, before midfielder Ryan Smith put one just the wrong side of the post on 13 minutes.

On 16 minutes, the Glovers doubled their advantage. A great move involving many sharp intricate passes set Dylan Morgan away to have a shot which was saved by Seedhouse-Evans, but Jordan YOUNG was there to fire home the rebound. Young had been absolutely everywhere in these opening exchanges.

Greenslade fired just wide of goal on 21 minutes and then Finn Cousin-Dawson headed wide before GREENSLADE made it 3-0 on 32 minutes. He won the ball back, powered through the Buckland midfield and fired past the keeper. Great attitude, great work-rate, great finish.

Morgan drags a slightly scuffed shot on 37 minutes and it was his loose pass which gave substitute Will Hall the opportunity to flash one just wide of Gould’s post seconds later.

Young had the final effort when his free-kick cannoned in to the wall, but it was a job well done for the the visitors.

Half time: Buckland Athletic 0 Yeovil Town 3

 

Second half

No changes for either side at half-time with manager Mark Cooper giving many players who only got half-an-hour at Farnborough three days before some additional minutes to impress.

Five minutes in to the second half, Pearson pulled a shot wide and then on 50 minutes the substitutes came with five changes off the bench. Michael Smith, Alex Whittle, youngster Josh Ansell and trialist Max Tisdale, the teenage son of ex-Glovers’ midfielder and former Exeter City manager, Paul, and Frank Nouble arrived on the pitch.

Buckland have changed their formation in the second half and are definitely making it more of a contest. They are closing down the Yeovil players better and dictating the play even if they have not done much to test Gould in the visitors’ goal.

With 75 minutes gone, Nouble should have made it 4-0 after Smith got down the right side, fired it in from the byline and put the big striker got the ball caught under his feet and could not turn it in to an unguarded net.

But, minutes later the same two were involved which was the fourth, Pearson fed Nouble whose effort was well saved by Seedhouse-Evans who could only push it out as far as SMITH who smashed home an unstoppable shot.

Under-18s player Krystian Woods replaced Sonny Blu Lo-Everton straight after the fourth goal and the next effort fell to Buckland with nine minutes remaining. A good cross in to the box found substitute Jared Lewington and Gould did superbly to deny him at the near post.

On 83 minutes, another bit of attractive football saw Morgan get the ball in the net after great play involving Pearson, but the linesman’s flag was up to deny him. A minute later Pearson flashed one wide soon after.

With five minutes to go, NOUBLE added a fifth. The big frontman ran on to a pass from Pearson and ran through to hammer home.

There was an opportunity for Morgan to add a sixth soon after, but it was another good performance from the visitors. Two very different 45 minutes with a dominant display in the first half, followed by a closer contest in the second but one they came out comfortably on top of.

A late Jordan Thomas goal secured Yeovil Town’s first piece of silverware of the season as they lifted the Ted Pearce Memorial Trophy with victory at Farnborough Town.

The full-back, who made his first appearance since arriving from Hampton & Richmond in the summer as a second half substitute, clipped a neat past keeper Jack Turner with three minutes remaining to seal the win.

The performance could not be described as a polished one from the visitors who found themselves a goal behind when a trialist gave Farnborough the lead on 67 minutes.

That sparked Yeovil in to life with substitute Dylan Morgan pulling them level again following a lovely run and finish after 75 minutes before Thomas sealed the win late on.

Up until Thomas’ goal, the game had been set to go to a penalty shoot-out to decide the winners of the trophy, named after a former Farnborough manager.

First half

It was Farnborough who asked a lot of early questions with a couple of long throws in to the box causing problems. The first meaningful effort of the game came after eight minutes when on loan Wycombe Wanderers’ midfielder Taylor Clark met a long throw and Glovers’ keeper Ollie Wright had to have his wits about him to keep the effort out.

Two minutes later a loose pass from Charlie Cooper on the edge of the hosts’ box was intercepted Ricky Holmes who broke away before being brought down by Frank Nouble, who got a booking for his troubles. The resulting free-kick from Olly Pendlebury forced another save from Wright.

Having chased shadows for much of the opening 15 minutes, the Glovers had a five-minute period of good possession before a 20th minute drinks’ break. Whilst looking more in control just before the break, there was not much going forward for travelling fans to get excited about with Aaron Jarvis looking isolated as the lone frontman.

Following the restart, neat flick from Sonny Blu Lo-Everton following a forward pass from Finn Cousin-Dawson set Michael Smith up to swing a boot on the edge of the box, but his effort was blocked. That is as good as it has got so far.

Smith was at the heart of another good move just after the half-hour mark, putting a ball up to the back post where Alex Whittle was arriving but the left-back could not get ahead of his marker to trouble Jack Turner in the Farnborough goal.

With a minute of the first half remaining, Holmes forced another smart stop from Wright before strike partner Mason Bloomfield put a close range header wide a minute later.

Aaron Jarvis spent much of the first half isolated.

Yeovil’s best chance of the first half came a minute in to injury time. A neat through ball by Jarvis set Nouble bearing down on goal, he went round the keeper but could not steer his effort in from a tight angle.

A better end to the half than the start, but still nothing to get too excited about.

Half time: Farnborough Town 0 Yeovil Town 0

 

Second half

Jordan Thomas warming up at half-time.

Three minutes in to the second half, Charlie Cooper went down and had to be replaced by Brett McGavin.

A nice move involving Smith and Young just evaded the head of Jarvis before Pendlebury fizzed a 60th minute free-kick just wide of Ollie Wright’s left-hand post.

Following a drinks’ break, Farnborough took the lead on 67 minutes. A clipped ball to the back post found  TRIALIST C at the back post and he headed past the despairing grasp of Wright.

Just before going behind, there were five changes for Yeovil. They included a first appearance for Jordan Thomas, who replaced Michael Smith at right-back, alongside trialist Brandon Haunstrup, Sam Pearson, Dylan Morgan and Harvey Greenslade also coming on. They replaced Whittle, Jarvis, Nouble and Lo-Everton.

On 75 minutes, the Glovers levelled courtesy of a virtuoso goal from Dylan MORGAN. He broke down the left side and into the box before coolly slotting home the equaliser. Well ignore what looked like a shove in the back from Matt Worthington at the start purely because of what a great run and finish it is from Morgan.

That seemed to liven the game up and on 80 minutes Pearson broke away on the counter attack before laying it off to Greenslade who scuffed his effort.

But with three minutes remaining, Jordan THOMAS was found by a near through ball from Harvey Greenslade nearly dinked it Farnborough keeper Jack Turner.

The trophy lift was not quite on a par with the end of last season (!) with travelling supporters at Cherrywood Road understandably doing it with a little more emotion. Champions again, right!?

For the second time in just a few days, Yeovil Town fell short against EFL opposition as the Glovers lost 3-1 to Exeter City at Huish Park in front of a cracking crowd of over 2,500 – it wasn’t that long ago that would have been an impressive league attendance!

The Glovers found themselves 1-0 down at half time, thanks to a goal from former Huish Park loanee, Sonny Cox.

The second half was more of a goal fest, with Santino Ohanaka and Kieran Wilson notching for the Grecians, Frank Nouble did pull a goal back and Dylan Morgan saw a late penalty saved by the Exeter ‘Keeper Joe Whitworth.

Both Charlie Cooper and Frank Nouble picked up the lesser-spotted pre-season booking (it’s only a friendly, ref, chill out) and both ‘keepers were forced into more than a couple of good saves.

Gloverscast Ian was there at Huish Park, but was trying to keep a small child entertained so a full match report might not have been possible, but I’m sure we’ll chat about the game in full on the next podcast.

The general consensus from Gloverscast sources was that the second half was better than the first, Brett McGavin and Dylan Morgan both impressed from the bench and there more minutes for young Glovers Corey Koerner and Krystian Woods.

Here are a couple of headlines:

We have a new trialist, Brandon Haunstrup. Haunstrup, 27, was introduced in the 70th minute, predominantly a left back with SPL experience and played for Cambridge and Gateshead (loan) last season, his time with the U’s came to an end at the end of last season. 

We won a penalty (yay!). We missed a penalty (boo). Dylan Morgan missed the chance to get the Glovers back in the game with a spot kick, his effort was saved by the Exeter ‘keeper.

 

That’s Huish Park done until Hartlepool. Just the two friendlies were scheduled in for Huish Park this summer, with Farnborough (Sat 27th), Buckland (Tues 30th) and Weston super-Mare (Sat 3rd) all away from Somerset’s Premier football venue.

Yeovil Team:

Wright (Gould ’70), Smith (Williams ’45), Wannell (Stevens ’45), Cousin-Dawson, Whittle (Haunstrup ’70), Cooper (McGavin ’62), Lo-Everton, Worthington (Koerner ’70), Pearson (Morgan ’70), Nouble (Woods ’85), Jarvis (Greenslade ’70)

Yeovil Town fell to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of  League One side Bristol Rovers in their first pre-season friendly at Huish Park in front of a crowd of 1,715 on Tuesday evening.

The visitors took the lead through an impressive finish from veteran Scott Sinclair before defensive sloppiness and some friendly refereeing from W*ymouth resident James Durkin gifted substitute Kofi Shaw a second right before half-time.

Another defensive mistake – a rare one from Morgan Williams – allowed Luke McCormick in to make it 3-0 just before the hour mark and that signalled the traditional flurry of substitutions we expect from pre-season, including the arrival of trialist Jacob Roddy and another appearance of Jordan Stevens.

One of the changes, last season’s top-scorer Jordan Young, put in a lively performance in his 30-minute run-out but in fairness Rovers looked every inch their status two divisions above Yeovil.

 

First half

The opening 15 minutes was a fairly tame affair with some good spells of possession from Yeovil and Dylan Morgan looking to be creative from his wide position.

The first shooting opportunity fell to Glovers’ captain Matt Worthington who dragged shot wide after 20 minutes. That was probably about it for somewhere near the goal mouth action in the opening exchanges.

But, it was the visitors who took the lead on 28 minutes through a moment of magic from Scott SINCLAIR, whose CV includes Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester City. A good move down the right involving Joel Senior saw him lay a ball back to the 35-year-old who put his shot in to the top corner in front of the Thatcher’s Gold Stand. 

Immediately after taking the lead, Rovers made a change with experienced striker Chris Martin replaced by youngster Kofi Shaw.

On 32 minutes, a loose bit of play by Jake Wannell gifted the ball to Issac Hutchinson and good defending by Morgan Williams who did well to see it out for a corner. The resulting flag-kick from Hutchinson was fizzed in with venom but no-one in a grey shirt (yes, Rovers are in grey) could get a touch.

The goal saw the visitors step up a gear and with ten minutes of the half remaining Bilongo released Luke McCormick whose impressive ball was aimed at Senior but was just too high.

Aaron Jarvis had a header in to the hands of Rovers’ keeper Griffiths on 38 minutes, but a minute before half-time Rovers doubled their advantage. Following sloppy defending from the Yeovil defence, Michael Smith got caught on the ball but appeared to be fouled before substitute Kofi SHAW broke away and fired home from a tight angle.

Ever been to a pre-season friendly where the referee is booed off at half-time? If you were at Huish Park tonight, you have. Referee is James Durkin…….from Portland…….that’s near W*ymouth, by the way. Just putting that out there.

Even the Bristol Live reporter thought it was a bit suspect…..

Half time: Yeovil Town 0 Bristol Rovers 2

 

Second half

There were no changes at the break and it was the visitors who had the first opportunity as Senior got his head on to a Bilongo cross, but it was straight at Ollie Wright.

Shaw fired one over on 57 minutes and then Yeovil proved the architects of their own downfall, Morgan Williams gave possession away cheaply to Luke McCORMICK and he fired in a third.

The first meaningful action from Rovers’ keeper Griffiths came on the hour mark. Smith and Jarvis linked up to play the ball through to Worthington whose effort was saved by the boot of the visiting stopper.

That led to a flurry of changes for both sides with the Yeovil changes being the departures of Alex Whittle, Morgan Williams, Matt Worthington, Aaron Jarvis, Dylan Morgan and Charlie Cooper, who were replaced by Finn Cousin-Dawson, Sam Pearson (who was ‘welcomed’ as an ex-Bristol City player by the visiting fans), Frank Nouble, Jordan Young, Jordan Stevens, Sonny Blu Lo-Everton and trialist Jacob Roddy.

There were changes for Rovers as well. Lots of them.

There’s the Bristol Rovers changes, if you care.

The changes had an immediate impact with Young and Nouble combining, but the big striker’s ball in to the box was easily cleared after 64 minutes before Wright did well to get down to well to pull off a smart save from one of the visitors’ substitutes Ollie Dewsbury.

Five minutes later good harrying from Young, who has looked lively since coming on, who then picked out Greenslade who was fouled. Set piece specialists Young and Brett McGavin stood over it, but it was Young who took it straight in to the defensive wall.

Jordan Stevens showed some of the blistering pace we know he has shortly after and, whilst his efforts did not lead to anything meaningful, it showed what we all know he is capable of.

With ten minutes later, Under-18s full-back Corey Koerner replaced Brett McGavin.

With a minute of normal time remaining, Rovers had a good opportunity to make it four. Finn Cousin-Dawson gave away possession to Dewsbury  and Lo-Everton busted a lung to get back and help out Wright to get it away for a corner. Sloppy again from Yeovil at the back and they have been punished by a side two divisions higher than them.

Next up it is more League One opposition in the form of Exeter City who visit Huish Park on Friday night.

Yeovil Town picked up another comfortable victory as an impressive first half display saw them sweep aside Frome Town in their second pre-season friendly at Badgers’ Hill on Saturday.

Winger Dylan Morgan was the star of the show for the Glovers in the opening 45 minutes and he opened the scoring direct from a corner on 15 minutes before Sam Pearson, Harvey Greenslade and then Morgan again capped a convincing display with a 4-0 scoreline at half-time.

The start second half saw eight changes made by manager Mark Cooper, who introduced youngsters Corey Koerner and Josh Ansell later in the half, and was a more even affair.

Ross Staley reduced the arrears from the penalty spot after a foul from Finn Cousin-Dawson on 77 minutes before a late header from Aaron Jarvis completed the second 5-1 win over Yeovil after winning by the same scoreline at Melksham Town on Tuesday night.

Cooper replaced his entire starting XI over the course of the game with trialist Jacob Roddy substituted at half-time before returning to the fray on 70 minutes. Only new signing full-back Jordan Thomas, who did not feature in midweek, was not used off the bench.

First half

The early chances fell to the visitors with Dylan Morgan at the heart of everything shooting over the bar after six minutes and then seeing his corner headed over by Morgan Williams soon after.

Frome’s first chance fell to midfielder Sam Teale who headed over from a corner on ten minutes, but it was Yeovil who took the lead on 15 minutes when a corner from MORGAN went straight in perhaps with a bit of help from Robins’ keeper Kyle Phillips.

Morgan was in the thick of it again soon after when his free-kick was punched by Phillips as far as Matt Worthington whose shot was easily dealt with by the keeper, and he continued a virtuous start to the game by setting up the Glovers’ second. A superb pass picked out Sam PEARSON after 20 minutes and the young Welshman burst forward to fire home the second.

On 38 minutes, Jayden Nielsen beats Roddy down the right and drilled a low effort towards the near post that was turned aside for a corner, and five minutes later Harvey GREENSLADE made it 3-0. The summer signing pounced on a mistake from Frome, moved forward and rolled it in to the net.

Then, with a minute of the first half remaining, Morgan tried his luck from a corner again, but this time Phillips was able to push it out as far as Worthington whose shot was blocked. But, a minute later, a beautifully worked move involving Greenslade and MORGAN saw the latter collect a pass and roll the curl in a sumptuous effort.

Half time: Frome Town 0 Yeovil Town 4

 

Second half

Manager Mark Cooper made eight changes at half-time with goalkeeper coach Matt Gould replacing Ollie Wright between the posts. The other arrivals were Alex Whittle, Finn Cousin-Dawson, Aaron Jarvis, Jordan Young, Brett McGavin, Jordan Stevens and Charlie Cooper, replacing Jake Wannell, Worthington, Frank Nouble, Sonny Blu Lo-Everton, trialist Jacob Roddy, Michael Smith and Harvey Greenslade.

Within four minutes of his arrival, Young had an effort saved by Phillips before Pearson came close to adding in a fifth only to see it blocked on the line. The Frome keeper was in action again on 59 minutes as Pearson found Jarvis who made contact with the ball but Phillips did well to deny him, taking a knock in the process.

On 70 minutes, Pearson and Morgan were replaced by Roddy, who manager Cooper presumably wanted to see more from, and Under-18s full-back Corey Koerner.

Phillips denied Jarvis on 72 minutes and then denied Young moments later. The keeper is definitely playing his part in keeping the scoreline respectable and when Cousin-Dawson swept the legs out from under a Frome attacker, the home side were awarded a penalty. Former Bristol Rovers’ youngster Ross STALEY converted it nicely past Gould, who guessed the right way but could not quite get it.

That was unfortunate for Cousin-Dawson who otherwise turned in a solid performance, in particular looking comfortable on the ball.

Jarvis and Whittle were the next to have a go at the Frome goal without any joy for Yeovil, who were kept quieter by their hosts who improved considerably in the second half.

With 79 minutes gone, Under-18s central defender Josh Ansell replaced Morgan Williams in the heart of defence before Charlie Cooper tried an audacious effort from the halfway line which went well wide of goal.

It was left to Aaron JARVIS to complete the scoring with just two minutes of the match remaining when great play from Alex Whittle gave the striker the chance to  challenge Phillips and he headed home his second of pre-season

It was a job was done in the first half with a great performance, before a more even second half capped by the late fifth goal.

Next up will be a sterner test for the Glovers in the former of League One Bristol Rovers who travel to Huish Park on Tuesday night.

Two goals from new signing striker Harvey Greenslade and another from fellow frontman Aaron Jarvis saw Yeovil Town get their pre-season campaign underway with a comfortable victory at Southern League Division One South side Melksham Town on Tuesday night.

Manager Mark Cooper fielded two different XIs in each half which included trialist left-back Jacob Roddy and the son of former Exeter City manager and Glovers’ midfielder, Paul Tisdale, Sam. Pre-season is all about a bit of guess work on who some of these players are, isn’t it?

It was last season’s top-scorer Jordan Young who gave the visitors the lead after six minutes before Jarvis added a second just before the half-hour mark. Melksham pulled one back after new signing goalkeeper/goalkeeper coach Matt Gould parried an effort to their striker, before a double from Greenslade sandwiched a great effort from Dylan Morgan.
 

First half

The starting XI included first outings in green-and-white for on-loan Southampton goalkeeper Ollie Wright, defender Finn Cousin-Dawson and striker Aaron Jarvis, who were all additions to the summer. There was also an appearance for trialist defender Jacob Roddy, who was released by Charlton Athletic’s academy in the summer after a spell on loan at Oxford City in the National League Premier last season, starts at left wing-back.

Under-18s’ defender Jacob Shore was also in the starting line-up as part of a three-man defence alongside Cousin-Dawson and Alex Whittle, playing as a left-sided central defender. Michael Smith was the wing-back on the right side with Roddy on the left. Defender Jordan Thomas, signed from Hampton & Richmond in the summer, was a notable absentee in the squad, but he was at the game.

It was a bright start from the Glovers with Charlie Cooper fizzing an effort wide after just four minutes before Jordan YOUNG put them ahead on six minutes. He beat his defender with a burst of pace and fired an effort which went under the Melksham keeper and in to the bottom corner.

Shore was forced off after just 13 minutes following a collision and was replaced by a trialist Tisdale.

There was no team-sheet available from the home side, so best we can say is one of the Melksham players dragged an effort wide on 19 minutes before Young had an effort turned around the post by the keeper following good work from Alex Whittle, player as a left-sided central defender alongside Cousin-Dawson and then Shore/Tisdale.

On 27 minutes, Jarvis worked the keeper with an effort before JARVIS got his first goal in green-and-white when he was on the end of a stinging shot from Michael Smith which snuck past two Melksham defenders.

There was an effort for the home side which Wright comfortably dealt with before Charlie Cooper whipped in a corner which became more like a shot.

Second half

The only survivor of the XI which started the first half was Tisdale, with goalkeeper/goalkeeper coach Matt Gould taking over in goal, Koerner coming in as left-back, Brett McGavin made his first outing in midfield and Harvey Greenslade came in up front. There was also a place for Jordan Stevens.

Greenslade, the Glovers’ first summer signing following his release by League One Bristol Rovers, made an immediate impression after cutting in from the right side and forcing a smart stop out of the Melksham keeper after 50 minutes.

Dylan Morgan was the next to test the keeper two minutes later and the home side pulled a goal back on 57 minutes. Gould parried an effort straight back to the Melksham NUMBER NINE (still no name) and he turned home the rebound.

But, just after the hour mark, Greenslade restored the two-goal advantage for the visitors. Sam Pearson broke away rapidly following a Melksham corner before picking out GREENSLADE who made a great finish.

Stevens showed his pace on 63 minutes charging down the right before picking out Frank Nouble whose effort went just wide. On 71 minutes, Jacob Roddy replaced Tisdale Junior going to left centre-back, before Dylan MORGAN made it 4-1 with a great bit of skill to beat his defender and then fired home.

On 80 minutes, it was 5-1 when McGavin’s free-kick cannoned back off the bar (we knew he can hit them!) and GREENSLADE was on the spot to fire home the rebound.

A good run-out for the majority of the first-team squad along with a couple of trialists and a couple of Under-18s players. Mark Cooper takes his side to Frome Town for their second pre-season friendly on Saturday.
