Yeovil Town’s interim head coach, Richard Dryden will take charge of his final game as caretaker as the Glovers host Woking on Saturday,
With a new manager on the horizon for the Glovers, he told BBC Somerset’s Jack Killah that it’s been a tough couple of weeks, but he and his back room staff have the group as well prepared for Woking as is possible.
“Like the Solihull game before it’s a different style than York. We’ve had a good look at them over this week. We have a game plan what we want to do. We’re going to get the little 11 v 11 against some of young boys from Bristol today. So we can get on pitch and work for 20 minutes, 30 minutes to get our plans sort out.
Everybody is capable of winning and everybody is capable of losing heavily by the looks of it, when you looked at it [Woking’s defeat to Gateshead] you think 5-0, what a great result, you then watch the game and Woking played really well, they do some good things really, really well, so, like I say we have got to try and nullify that threat going forward and cause them a few problems going the other way.”
Dryden spoke of the togetherness of the off-field team, with everyone from Chris Todd to Sam the analyst getting a shout out as the side prepare not just for this game, but for the days and weeks ahead.
“We have got a good analysis lad here in Sam, he does well. He does a lot of work as soon one game is finished he’s on to the next. So it gives us lots of information.
It’s great, it’s a club with massive history, fantastic walking out and leading the club, again, I will say it is not by one person in the club, we have Chris Todd here we’ve got Ian Weston here, we’ve got Gouldy here. Everybody is doing their [bit], putting their work in, so you know we come out as a team.”
Dryden spoke of the desire to give the fans something to shout about, and what lies ahead once a new Head Coach is appointed.
“We need the support of the crowd but we have to give them something to shout about. So, it’s got to work both ways, if we can start the game well on front foot, create a few chances, maybe score a few goals, let’s all go as one big unit.
It’s hard, because, you know, your hands are tied a little bit because you’re waiting for the new person come in, but like I say, I have had alot of backing from the rest of staff and players have add right go for us, Yeah, you know, the manager is coming he will have his ideas and we’re here to help him.”
