Yeovil Town have announced midfielder Charlie Cooper‘s loan spell at Hereford has ended, but his loan spell at Kidderminster Harriers has begun.

The midfielder hasn’t played for the Glovers since the 20th August, when he played the full 90 minutes in the 2-1 home win over against Brackley Town.

He was an unused substitute against Gateshead, the final match of his father Mark’s reign as manager, but hasn’t even made a squad since then. He played five times for the Bulls but was an unused sub in their 1-1 draw against Chester in midweek.

The Rowley revolution gets underway at Huish Park this weekend as Yeovil Town begin life under new manager Billy Rowley with a home match against Boston United.

FORM…

Yeovil Town

Yeovil ended their three game run of defeats and extended their run without a win to eight matches with an uninspiring goalless draw at Morecambe last weekend. The result proved to be manager (or was he interim manager afterall?) Richard Dryden’s final one in the dug-out as new manager Billy Rowley was appointed as the new boss on Tuesday.

One statistic which the new manager will be looking to change quickly is the Glovers’ run of four matches without a goal with their last coming with Tahvon Campbell’s 15th minute opener in the 1-1 draw at home to Carlisle United more than a month ago.

The clean sheet at Morecambe last weekend was also the first clean sheet since the 1-0 home win over Altrincham almost two months ago.

Boston United

Boston United arrive in Somerset with the same number of points from the same number of National League Premier Division games as their hosts albeit one place above them in the table virtue of a one-goal superior goal difference.

It’s not been a vintage season for the Pilgrims under the guidance of ex-Bristol Rovers’ boss Graham Coughlan and they come in to this fixture without a win in their last four league matches having been heartbroken by a 90th minute winner from Carlisle United in last weekend’s televised late kick-off.

Away form has been kinder to Boston than at home with three wins and four draws in their ten games on the road this season and they will be looking to keep that up at Huish Park.

KEY PLAYERS…

Yeovil Town – Jed Ward

It probably underlines Yeovil Town’s current form, when an on loan goalkeeper who has conceded 13 goals in his last eight matches is your star man, but there is no question that number would have been higher if it was not for the form of the Bristol Rovers player.

Ward kept his first clean sheet in nearly two months in the stalemate at Morecambe last weekend and had to have his wits about him to ensure the Glovers came out with a point.

Boston United – Lennell John-Lewis

The veteran striker made the move to Boston following his departure from York City in the summer and is the club’s top scorer with five goals this season. His fifth game with an equaliser in what turned out to be a 2-1 home defeat to Carlisle United last weekend.

The 36-year-old brings raw power, experience and an eye for goal, but he has not been a guaranteed starter with six appearances off the bench and 13 starts since arriving in Lincolnshire. Ex-Yeovil loanee Jordy Hiwula, signed follow his departure from Morecambe in the summer, has been playing up front as well.

John-Lewis scored from the penalty spot when York ran out 1-0 winners at Huish Park in September 2022 and has four goals in his seven appearances against the Glovers. 

THE GAFFER…

Graham Coughlan will be a familiar face to Westcountry football fans from his time in charge at Bristol Rovers. The Irishman spent a year in charge at the Memorial Ground before moving to League Two Mansfield Town in December 2019 where he lasted less than 12 months.

He arrived at Boston in November 2024 following the decision to sack Ian Culverhouse and inspired the Pilgrims to a great escape having been 12 points adrift of safety in the National League Premier Division at one point last season. The boss described the performance of his team who put together a run of 11 wins in their final 18 matches  as “nothing short of a miracle.”

Boston fought to keep hold of him when they rejected an approach from National League rivals Hartlepool United in the summer.

LAST TIME WE MET…

Not many Yeovil fans will want to remember the last time Boston United visit Somerset as the Pilgrims ran out 3-0 winners in a miserable midweek match for the Glovers. Jimmy Knowles, Jacob Hazel and captain Zak Mills were on target for the visitors that night as they turned in a fine display on their way to a great escape from victory.

Boston celebrate their third at Huish Park last March.

The reverse fixture at the end of August 2024 was a completely different affair with Yeovil running out 3-1 winners courtesy of a brace from Brett McGavin, including a masterful free-kick, and a third from Jordan Young before Jake Wannell was sent off late in the game.

DON’T I KNOW YOU…

There are a few former Glovers in the visitors’ squad this weekend. Right back Marcel Lavinier arrived at Boston in October originally on a non-contract basis before impressing enough to earn a permanent deal, the ex-Forest Green Rovers’ man made eight appearances for Yeovil towards the end of last season.

You have to go back a little further in green-and-white history for the other names in the Pilgrims’ squad. Michael Kelly was on loan at Huish Park during the 2020-21 campaign whilst striker Jordy Hiwula promised much but delivered little when he spent time on loan from Manchester City back at the start of the 2014-15 campaign.

THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE…

Yeovil Town’s home game against Braintree on January 3rd 2026 will now kick off at 5:30pm.

League broadcast partners, DAZN, announced the move along with a wide range of fixtures throughout the new year period. 

The move allows the game to be broadcast to a UK audience as it brings it outside of the usual 3pm ‘blackout’ rules.

Bristol Rovers loanee Jed Ward has picked his NINTH Man of the Match award – as chosen by Gloverscast voters.

Ward picked up almost half of the votes following the 0-0 draw with Morecambe, the clean sheet enough to keep everyone on his side!

Harvey Greenslade continues to pick up votes, a 25 minute cameo from him injected a bit of energy into an otherwise flat showing and a shout out for FCD who makes our mythical podium for the first time this season.

This Saturday’s home game against Boston will be the last game for votes to count towards November’s player of the month totals, although (spoilers…) the maths says that Ward looks to have that nailed down too!

Tickets for the Glovers’ Boxing Day trip to Truro are now on sale.

Yeovil Town fans will have fond memories of games against Truro from a couple of seasons ago, but famously the Green and Whites won the National League South in the National League North with a win over Truro… at Gloucester.

No such geographical conundrums to solve, to play against Truro, we’re going to Truro.

Right, this isn’t the easiest process we’ll talk you through all season long, but let’s get into it.

Firstly, tickets are only available to logged in users…. so click Sign In to the right of screen and log in or create an account.

Next, you cannot select the away section directly, Yeovil fans are going to be situated behind one of the goals, as you can see on the image below to the left, select ‘Other Categories’

In the ‘Other Categories’ tab, you’d be presented with some home and away options, be sure to select the Away ones (obviously) and proceed through the options

These are all listed as Standing only with seemingly no options to buy seated places – more on that in a bit.

The Billy Rowley era begins at Huish Park with Boston Utd coming to town this Saturday, the game will be officiated by Harry Wager.

We’ve seen Mr Wager already this season, he took charge of the… urm… Gateshead game, which I think was largely forgettable, right? Nothing happened in that one did it? I don’t remember… anyway… he booked Frank Nouble and a couple of his team mates and Kyle Ferguson as well as then Glovers’ boss Mark Cooper.

In total, across 5 National League games, he’s taken charge of this season – he’s brandished 18 yellows, 2 reds and pointed at the spot just the twice.

In total, this will be the fifth time he as officiated a Glovers game, the only time anyone has ticked him off to the point where he sent anyone off, was when Otis Khan did something silly against Eastleigh last season.

As far as I can tell, he’s never taken charge of a Boston United fixture.

Mr Wager will be assisted by James Hooper and Adam Ricketts whilst Harry Warner has the honour of being the first person asked politely by Billy Rowley “how long left please fourth?” in his new role.

Harry Wager sends off Otis Khan

The appointment of manager Billy Rowley as Yeovil Town manager on Tuesday morning probably took a lot of fans not plugged in to the Huish Park rumour mill by surprise. Dave gives his thoughts on what at least appears to be a man with a plan.

What a difference 24 hours makes. On Monday morning we were all feeling down in the dumps after a drab goalless draw at Morecambe last weekend stretched our winless run to eight matches in all competitions.

Fast forward to Tuesday morning and the appointment of Billy Rowley as manager has lifted the mood at Huish Park. In a way he didn’t have to do anything except be himself – energetic, excited about the challenge he’s taken on, and with a clear vision for what he wants to do.

The echoes of Danny Webb’s first interviews as manager are unmistakable. The face may be different, but the vibes are undeniable and you only have to look through fans’ comments on social media or even this website to see it’s changed perceptions in a stroke.

Let’s give it 11 days though just because……well, you know? But seriously, if vibes are the only difference between Tuesday morning (before 10.25am) and now, that feels a darn sight better!

What do we know about the new man? Honestly, unless you have been paying close attention to the Southern League, not much. But, from what I can see, Rowley has built a reputation of practicing what he preaches – he’s built a good, young squad there and they are playing good, attacking, winning football. He leaves them two points clear at the top of the Southern League South with 40 goals in their opening 16 matches of the season.

The Rowley revolution begins this Saturday.

Yes, it is two steps below the National League Premier Division and, as he says himself in his first interview, he is “going to have to learn this league” and there’s no doubt he will make mistakes. But, this feels like a direction of travel which simply has not been there – except for maybe 11 days in September – for a long time. 

I hope he is given time – by supporters (yes, the Gloverscast included), by the ownership and by his players – because if it comes off, it could be exceptional. A gamble, undoubtedly, but it feels a lot better than it did 24 hours ago – and vibes will have to do for now.

The video update from the owner Prabhu Srinivasan posted just half-an-hour before the announcement of Rowley’s arrival was made was interesting as well. He spoke about how his family had been reactive rather than proactive since taking over in May, something he says they are not used to being. This does feel like a proactive move rather than a reactive one. 

One of Walton & Hersham’s co-owners posted about Rowley’s departure on social media

In their short time in charge, the owners have made mistakes as much as they have been hit by bad luck, but credit where it is due for a thoroughly ballsy move. The future of Richard Dryden, who I still believe to be a thoroughly decent bloke put in an unenviable situation, and Jerry Gill remains to be ironed out following the arrival of Darren Simpson, Rowley’s assistant as Walton & Hersham.

For us as supporters, we need to carry the optimism we are feeling in to this weekend’s home game with Boston United, a team who are level on points with us in the table. Every minute, hour and day between now and then will be learning curve for the new manager as he meets his players, and this Saturday will tell him even more about the group he’s taken charge of and the club he’s at – let’s do our part to make it as positive an experience as we can.

Welcome to Huish Park, Billy, give us a reason to dream and we’ll be with you every step of the way. Up the Glovers!

Former Yeovil captain Josh Staunton posted about the arrival of Billy Rowley on social media on Tuesday.
