Interim manager Richard Dryden was planning to show his Yeovil Town players a video nasty on their long journey home from the 3-2 defeat at FC Halifax Town.
The Glovers threw away a 2-1 advantage in West Yorkshire, the second time in five days they have given away leads to lose a game, as they began life after former boss Mark Cooper with a defeat.
It was three defensive errors from balls in to their box which cost them all three goals and Dryden told BBC Somerset’s Josh Perkins that defending crosses in to the box would be the focus on training ahead of their next game at Solihull Moors on Tuesday night.
He said: “There are a lot of positives, a few negatives, but probably more positives. The big negative is we have not taken any points. We have had a conversation (in the dressing room) about stopping crosses and defending balls in to the box, but you cannot keep scoring two away from home and coming away with nothing. I said to them before the game that they are not going to be hammered if they give the ball away or do the right things but you will get hammered if you work hard and people will see that they worked hard today. We have got back with nothing but we have created chances and played some really good football.
“It is another ball across the box and we have to defend better. We have not got a lot of time, but you might have a rough idea what (we might be focusing on in training) on Monday morning. Sometimes you get camped in bit and sometimes you do get overloaded and if that happens we have to be better in the box, not just the goalkeeper or the back three, it is everyone who is in there. Everybody has to work hard defensively.
“We will watch the bad bits on the way home massively and some good bits. We need to iron out the bad bits.”
After an even opening 45 minutes where they both threatened to find an opening and were threatened by Halifax, Yeovil fell a goal behind one minute in to first half injury time when Shaymen midfielder Oli Bray fired the home side ahead.
But, the visitors came out for the second half firing and levelled when midfielder Luke McCormick went down in the box to win a penalty which was confidently put away by striker Junior Morias for his second goal in as many games.
Six minutes later Harvey Greenslade headed a Josh Sims cross in to put the side ahead before a second goal from Bray and a winner ten minutes from time from substitute Will Harris sealed the defeat.
On his side’s goals, Dryden said: “Luke has done really well, got himself in to the box, he’s been brave because you know he is going to get hit there and it is a penalty. It is nice to see Junior put it in. The second goal is a really nice goal, we have worked it wide which we did a lot of in the first half and did not get anything out of it, it is a brilliant run by Simsy and is the centre forward is on the near post you have half a chance of scoring.”
There was a worrying moment when on loan Birmingham City wing-back Byron Pendleton went off after a heavy tackle in the 76th minute, but Dryden said he did not know the severity of the injury.
He confirmed that midfielder Charlie Cooper, who has now not featured in the last three matches with an Achilles injury, was still “a couple of weeks” from fitness. Dryden will lead the side in to the match at Solihull Moors where they will face a home side sitting bottom of the division after a 2-1 home defeat to Southend United on Saturday.
Dryden said: “It is another big test. You can’t brush over by saying ‘it was a great performance, but we got beat’, it was an alright performance going forward, but when balls come in to the box we have to be better.“
