It wasn’t quite a magic night at Huish Park, but there is always something about Yeovil Town in the FA Cup. Here are Ian’s Five Conclusions from the 3-1 defeat.

It was fantastic to see a crowd. Not since Manchester United’s visit in 2018 have we had such a turnout. Despite Bournemouth not being a ‘superclub’, Huish Park was packed and full of anticipation of more FA Cup history. While the result wasn’t what we’d have wanted, seeing supporters in their volume to watch the match was a pleasant remind of what Yeovil Town FC can be on its day. Let’s just hope the mud bath surround the stadium didn’t put people off attending less glamourous matches in the future.

Bournemouth’s quality was clear to see. But for the keeper’s mishap, we didn’t cause them any major issues. Their technical prowess allowed them to totally control the game and keep us at arm’s length. Emiliano Marcondes was everywhere for the Cherries and he earned his hattrick with his clever runs and positioning. Jamal Lowe showed what a talent he is with his dizzying runs and electric pace. We performed admirably, but Bournemouth showed why they are three points clear at the top of the Championship.

Max Evans should have got his chance. Dillon Barnes has had two disappointing performances in his loan spell for us. The corner at Torquay was bad and I felt he had another poor game in the FA Cup. He pushed the ball back into the middle of the goal for Bournemouth’s third goal and he seemed to struggle with crosses and corners again. There’s a lesson to be learned for Grant Smith, don’t mouth off at officials again. He’s missed two big games for Yeovil and we’ve really suffered for it. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I think giving Max Evans an opportunity in these two games would have been a good thing. It couldn’t have gone much worse.

We looked tired. Playing against Bournemouth is totally draining, obviously. But we looked like a side which hadn’t had a proper week of preparation. Tom Knowles and Charlie Wakefield aren’t at the energetic levels they were, Matt Worthington isn’t getting forward like he was and our threat was diminished. I’m not sure having Worthington and Dale Gorman on yellow cards for the majority of the match made it trickier for us to take any risks. On the plus side, we had nine substitutes and seem to have some genuine depth in positions. Without downplaying Needham Market, we could do with playing Needham Market after these last three games. Instead, we’ve got a quick turnaround and a trip to Southend having not left the South West since November.

Scott Priestnall decided to grace us with his presence, albeit under the radar. That there’s even speculation about whether or not the owner of the football club will attend a match is appalling enough in itself. We can only guess as to the reason why this match was worth a visit, perhaps it was to see what a proper occasion at Huish Park can look like. Perhaps it was to sort out some contracts for players and the manager. Maybe we’re days away from seeing his long-term plan. Hopefully he was there to clear out his desk. Plenty on the terraces let him know their feelings last night.

Midfielder Tom Knowles said his Yeovil Town team-mates need to take the positives from their run to the FA Cup third round in to the rest of the season.

The Glovers went out of the competition after a 3-1 defeat at home to Championship leaders AFC Bournemouth and now have just two days until the National League trip to Southend United on Tuesday night and an FA Trophy tie with Needham Market next weekend.

Knowles said: “We’ve come away from Torquay with two disappointing losses and we’ve got to go to Southend and look to pick up a win again and then we’re back in to the FA Trophy. We have to pick up momentum and keep going game by game.”

He praised the support from the home fans in the crowd of 7,818 who turned out for the televised tie, adding: “We play football for the fans, they were class tonight, you saw when we scored that goal and right throughout the evening they were behind us.

“If we can take that in to our league form and see as many (fans) back here again, that will push us on for the season and hopefully we can kick on and do well.”

Knowles said the team was “gutted” to have been put out of the competition courtesy of a hat-trick from Bournemouth midfielder Emiliano Marcondes – but said they were proud of their performance.

The midfielder added: “We felt we gave a good account of ourselves against a good Championship side and we went out there and did Yeovil proud.

“We are gutted to be going out, but it’s been a great journey and we have really enjoyed it.

“We knew they were going to have a lot of the ball, they are a possession-based team, but I thought we frustrated them in the first half.

“We all did our jobs well, we were working our socks off and their quality shone through.”

Darren Sarll said he was pleased his Yeovil Town side did “never backed down” against Championship leaders AFC Bournemouth in the defeat which ended their FA Cup run.

A hat-trick from Cherries’ midfielder Emiliano Marcondes sealed a 3-1 win for the visitors and the manager was keen to praise his side for their willingness to take the fight to this high-flying opponents.

Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Sheridan Robins after the loss, he said: “We had a saying tonight ‘never back down’, we wanted to step in to the battle, we didn’t want to get to half-time and be talking about giving too much respect to the opponent.

“No-one backed down, no-one shied out of a challenge, and we made it messy for them at times which was something we knew we’d have to do.

“We had to try and rough it up a bit to get anything out of them and I thought the second half was an excellent performance.

“The first half I thought was patient, the first goal gives us no pride because we worked on that exact scenario too often this week, but I thought the players showed great character and I am pleased we did that.”

Having had a number of cases of COVID-19 in his already limited squad, the boss said that he was able to count on four substitutes with just under four hours to go until kick-off.

He ended up with a full complement of nine substitutes albeit only four of them – Charlie Wakefield, Sonny Blu Lo-Everton, Adi Yussuf and Reuben Reid – made it on to the pitch.

Sarll added: “Some of them were not in any condition to play, especially with the time they have played up until now, Charlie (Wakefield) being one of them.

“We have so many games coming up and we know what an important player he is for us but the physio and doctor were excellent to get the players in a shape to compete.

“We were pleased at 2pm that we started the day with four on the bench and we managed to get the full complement out, which we have not been able to do much this season.”

Looking ahead of Tuesday night’s trip to Southend United in the National League, the boss said his side needed to get back to the form which had seen them go 13 matches unbeaten before a double defeat to Torquay United over the festive period.

He said: “All the razz, glamour and cameras are over now and it’s important we get back to being gritty and getting draws away from home, three points at home.

“We have to get back to the reality of what the fifth division of the game looks like, and Tuesday will be tough because (Southend is) a well-supported club and it has a bigger resource than us.”

Match Report

A hat-trick from the impressive Emiliano Marcondes was enough to end Yeovil Town‘s run in the FA Cup with a youthful AFC Bournemouth side running out comfortable winners.

The Danish midfielder put away two calm finishes in an opening 45 minutes which was controlled by the visitors who knocked the ball around confidently despite howling wind and rain which lashed Huish Park.

A mistake by Cherries’ keeper Orjan Nyland handed Joe Quigley the opportunity to pull one back for Yeovil just three minutes after the restart, but a mistake by on-loan Glovers’ keeper Dillon Barnes gifted Marcondes a third in the second half.

Ian was there to watch it and – with a couple of additional bits from Dave watching on the telly – here’s how he saw the third round fixture.

 

First half

There was a big match feeling at Huish Park, and plenty of anticipation with a packed crowd of in excess of 7,000 behind the Glovers – well, presumably with the exception of the sold out away end, that is.

Despite the talk of COVID absentees, Darren Sarll welcomed back captain Luke Wilkinson and on-loan full-back Dan Moss, who missed the Torquay defeat through illness and suspension, and brought Joe Quigley up front.

We also managed to name nine substitutes, which is somewhat of a miracle considering he’d only manage four subs at points this season.

The visitors did not play a team packed with first-team regulars from their Championship table-topping side, but there were was plenty of League experience in the side in the form of midfielder Ben Pearson and forwards Jamal Lowe and Jaidon Anthony to name just three.

As the wind and rain on a miserable night battered the travelling Bournemouth supporters on the uncovered away terrace, Yeovil got off to a feisty start.

Dale Gorman picked up a booking after just three minutes for a tackle which, if it had been made at the same point in the second half, could have seen him dismissed by referee Jeremy Simpson. That said, the booking dished out for Matt Worthington four minutes later was as soft as…..Rule 1, must remember Rule 1.

An early free-kick was shot high and wide by Gorman, but Bournemouth’s quality was on show as they controlled the possession without creating much in the way of clear cut chances.

For all the tippy-tappy sideways stuff, it was a simple opener for non-stop Emiliano MARCONDES who opened the scoring. A great ball from defender Chris Mepham, a £12m signing a couple of summers ago, split the defence and Marcondes ran in between Wilkinson and Moss to slot calmly home with 19 minutes gone.

Bournemouth dominated the ball for long spells, leaving the Glovers with a lot of chasing to do and a midfield who had to be cautious given the early yellows. There was a third which looked soft – and even softer on the television replays – for Moss who got the ball. Referees giving decisions to bigger teams, whatever next, eh?

Anthony came close to doubling the Cherries’ lead after 23 minutes when his deep effort beat Barnes all ends up and came off the inside of the post and away.

It was the impressive MARCONDES, doubled his tally just before half-time after patient possession from Bournemouth. The attacking midfielder was played in my Anthony and drove a low powerful shot across Barnes into the far corner.

 Half time: Yeovil Town 0 AFC Bournemouth 2

Second half

The second half couldn’t have started any better for Yeovil.  Cherries’ keeper Orjan Nyland dallied on the ball and was dispossessed by a fine tackle from Tom Knowles and the ball broke to Joe QUIGLEY to put the ball into an empty net and unglue the packed Thatchers’ terrace in the 47th minute.

Yeovil’s quick start seemed to take all Bournemouth’s rhythm and it took them a while find it. When they did find it, they worked a nice opportunity for Jamal Lowe which was saved well by the leg of Barnes.

However, the on-loan keeper didn’t cover himself in glory moments later. Lowe carved himself some space inside the Yeovil 18 yard box and his shot was parried by Barnes to the feet of MARCONDES who could pick his spot to complete his hat trick.

Darren Sarll rolled the dice with ten minutes left on the clock, bringing on Sonny Blu Lo-Everton and Adi Yussuf before he added Reuben Reid. Ultimately, Bournemouth’s quality on the ball saw them through as they controlled proceedings keeping the Glovers at arm’s length.

Reid came close to adding a second with the final kick of the game. Barnett’s ball in saw Moss battle with Nyland and the ball broke to the substitute whose shot was blocked on the line by the body and arms of defender Brennan Camp. Reid grabbed the ball ready for the penalty, but referee Simpson blew the full-time whistle instead.

Yeovil can hold their heads high, Bournemouth are no slouches, and are likely to be playing Premier League football next season.

It was nice to see a good crowd at Huish Park – even the owner turned up!

Dale Gorman scores his penalty vs Weymouth

Yeovil Town midfielder Dale Gorman has been speaking ahead of the Glovers’ FA Cup tie vs Bournemouth and says that a quick start could be a good way to get at their Championship opponents.

“We look to start every game fast, and that’s been key to our success recently.”

Yeovil have scored a divisional best six goals in the National League this season, conceding just one in the league during the opening 15 minutes of games so far, whilst the Cherries are yet to find the net away from home in the first quarter of an hour on in the 2nd tier.

“It might be a bit different (vs Bournemouth) with the way they set up, we don’t know that until we encounter it tomorrow, but look, it’s something that we’ve talked about and something we’ve got into a routine of doing over the past two or three months”

“So, we will be looking to start fast tomorrow and be focused and be ready to do our jobs”

Yeovil have scored a divisional best six goals in the National League this season, conceding just one in the league during the opening 15 minutes of game, 

Gorman said that returning to working under Darren Sarll means he’s now enjoying his football again and is proud to play for a ‘great club‘ like Yeovil.

Manager Darren Sarll has promised “surprises” in the Yeovil Town side he puts out to face AFC Bournemouth in the FA Cup third round on Saturday.

The Glovers’ camp have been struck down by COVID-19 this week which left the boss with just 12 players to choose from on Thursday, but the boss said the situation was changing daily.

He also revealed that former Bournemouth midfielder Matt Worthington and defender Morgan Williams both suffered knocks which saw them go off in the 2-1 defeat against Torquay United last weekend.

Sarll said: “I thought at one stage we may not be able to play the game just because of sheer numbers (of players we had unavailable).

“I’m coming back to a place where COVID has been present and I’m putting myself at risk every day, if I take this home to my two children and my wife, they are at risk.

“That doesn’t seem to be top of anyone’s agenda. I’m not sulking, those are just the facts, we are getting on with it.

“Outside the Premier League, there doesn’t seem to be any process around these decisions – play the game or get out of the competition.”

On Worthington and Williams, he added: “Williams will be touch and go, Worthington is probably stronger in terms of what we has been able to do this week.

“Then without naming individuals, there’s those who have suffered with illness this week, they have to take a different place depending where they are with their recovery.

“There will be surprises in the line up and the surprises will only be because of the illness that has been in the camp this week.”

There was no specific reference to captain Luke Wilkinson who missed the Torquay defeat having returned a positive lateral flow test ahead of the fixture – so it appears we may have to wait and see which Yeovil Town team makes the team-sheet come 4.45pm on Saturday.

In other news from the weekly pre-match press conference, the manager said:

  • It sounds like the boss will not be getting caught up in the romance of the FA Cup saying his side could not afford to be distracted by “all that mumbo-jumbo.”
    He added: “We have to play every kick and every moment being focused and concentrated and we have to see it through until whatever minute it takes.
    “I have been fortunate this is not my first time playing a team from the Championship in round three, and you can get ahead of yourself and thinking about the potential outcomes of the game.
    “We have just got to get to minute one and try to get through to minute two with a focus which is unparalleled to what we normally do because we are playing such a great side.” 
  • It seems unlikely there will be any further loan signings at coming in with the saying the only additions he would require need finances he does not have access too.
    He said: “The best loans we have had here are Remeao Hutton who was 100% supported by Birmingham, and Jimmy Smith, who we paid our way for because he was that good.
    “So if you want those players who will make an immediate impact like Jimmy did you have to have the resources available and at the moment I don’t think they are available.”
    The club currently has its full quota of loanees in goalkeeper Dillon Barnes, defenders Dan Moss (Millwall), Jack Robinson (Middlesbrough) and Jaheim Headley (Huddersfield Town) and forward Sonny Blu Lo-Everton.
    Sarll reiterated that he would be “delighted” to keep two out of the three of Moss, Robinson and Lo-Everton.
  • There was praise for Jaheim Headley who the manager said only missed out on the defeat to Torquay due to the late absence of Luke Wilkinson.
    Sarll said: “Jaheim Headley has been brilliant since he joined us. He was very unfortunate to miss out on the squad (against Torquay) which was only because Wilkinson’s situation.
    “His attitude has been fabulous and he’s a real credit to Huddersfield, I don’t see too many young men behaving in the way he has this week.”

COVID-19 has swept through AFC Bournemouth over the last couple of weeks leaving manager Scott Parker with limited options for the trip to Huish Park – albeit probably not as limited as his opposite number, Darren Sarll.

The bout of the virus saw the Cherries’ opening Championship fixture of 2022 postponed on January 3 meaning they have not played since the 3-0 home win over Cardiff City on December 30.

Speaking before the weekend, Parker said he expects to use the depth of his squad: “I want to stay in this competition, get through to the next round and win this game, but with the climate of where we are (with COVID) there’s no doubt we will be using the squad.

“That is because those players deserve an opportunity and because of where we are in terms of COVID cases and injuries as well.

“We are going to need to be sensible and use the squad sensibly.”

Highly-rated defender Lloyd Kelly and young keeper Will Dennis were the players first diagnosed with the virus and both have now served their isolation periods.

Defender Jordan Zemura had been due to link up with the Zimbabwe squad for their African Cup of Nations campaign, but media reports suggest he did not make the trip as he was isolating.

The main aim to win promotion back to the Premier League seems likely to have a greater say over the strength of the Cherries’ side on display and it seems unlikely their bigger names will feature in the FA Cup.

The smart money is on the likes of striker Dominic Solanke, the £17m signing from Liverpool, highly-rated midfielder Philip Billing or Jeff Lerma will feature – but don’t rule out them being on the bench.

However, Parker has placed faith in products of the club’s prolific academy this season and the likes of Jaidon Anthony, who Yeovil fans will remember impressing in a pre-season friendly at Huish Park in September 2020, Irish midfielder Gavin Kilkenny and defender Zeno Ibsen-Rossi all featuring this season.

It seems more likely that some of these young talents will be among those on show for the Red Button cameras this weekend.

There’s probably not a huge amount we can tell from the appearance of a side made up of the club’s under-18s and development squad members in the Hampshire Senior Cup in midweek.

They lost 1-0 at Southern League side Farnborough Town with defender Ibsen-Rossi and Gloverscast legend (well, to Ben at least) striker Euan Pollock all in action.

If you haven’t listened to it yet, catch our chat with Cherries YouTuber Craig on the latest edition of the podcast – listen here.

FROM THE MANAGER

Bournemouth manager Scott Parker has told his players they need to arrive at Huish Park ready to put in a performance or risk becoming another victim of the Yeovil Town’s FA Cup giant-killing record books:

He told the club’s official website: “If there’s one thing the FA Cup does bring, no matter how many teams are in between you and the opposition, it’s all irrelevant.

“This is what makes this Cup special, it brings really strange results and sometimes well deserved results, so the one thing we need to understand is we have to go there with the right attitude.

“We need to understand what this competition can bring and put in a performance, if we don’t, it will be a tough day for us.”

TEAM NEWS

Even if some of the Bournemouth bigger names seem likely to be rested, there are a number of players returning from injury who will be familiar faces from the Cherries’ Premier League era who could well feature at Huish Park.

Striker Junior Stanislas is a doubt with a shoulder injury and was subbed on and off again after just 14 minutes on the pitch in the win at Cardiff in the last outing.

Manager Scott Parker said he was seeing a specialist about the injury this week, so his presence will depend on the outcome of that appointment.

The boss also said Republic of Ireland winger Robbie Brady winger was back in training this week, adding: “We’ll have to assess whether this weekend is too soon for Robbie or not.”

Midfielder Ben Pearson (ankle) was an unused substitute in South Wales and has not featured since the start of December, while Lewis Cook is expected to continue his comeback after a rupturing knee ligaments last season, so both could get minutes at the weekend.

Goalkeeper Orjan Nyland, who joined on a free from Norwich City in the summer, could get a start in goal, but it seems likely that the match will have a youthful feel.

Unlikely to appear are new signings defenders Ethan Laird, who has signed on loan from Manchester United, and James Hill, a £1m addition from League One Fleetwood Town, who both arrived this week.

Parker said: “We need to work out where they both are physically, we need to tread carefully around that.

“There’s going to be some work with them around the way we play, the boys we have with us now have worked tirelessly over the last six months and they’re well drilled to understand the game model.

“So, these two new lads are going to need a speedy lesson.”

 

FOOT IN BOTH CAMPS

In the Yeovil Town camp, midfielder Matt Worthington and striker Joe Quigley are both products of the Dean Court academy.

Quigley, who was born in the New Forest, spent eight years on the South Coast having started in the academy as an 11-year-old before going on to make eight separate loan spells before being released in 2018.

Worthington joined Bournemouth in 2011 having been in the youth team set-up at both Portsmouth and Southampton and made a Premier League appearance on the final day of the 2016-17 season.
