Defender Finn Cousin-Dawson has accepted responsibility for the winning goal which saw Yeovil Town fall to a 2-1 defeat at home to struggling Wealdstone today.

The former Bradford City man had pulled the Glovers back level with a thunderous header from a Brett McGavin free-kick on the stroke of half-time, but was beaten by former Huish Park loanee Josh Grant who headed what proved to be the winner after 54 minutes.

Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Mark Stillman after the game, the 22-year-old said: “I don’t think you can doubt the effort from the boys, but we gave two really poor goals away. I take responsibility for the second (goal scored by Josh Grant) and I don’t think (goalkeeper Aidan Stone) had too much to do, but it is tough to win games when you concede goals like that.

It is just concentration and defending the box better, but we have really gone for it (to get a second equaliser) and kept pressing and trying to put balls in to the box, the quality just was not there. But we should not have been chasing the game at that point.

The defeat extended Yeovil’s run without a win to more than two months – with the last win coming on 14th December against Braintree Town – but they have a chance to put it right with the visit of Tamworth to Huish Park on Tuesday night.

The Lambs scored two minutes from the end at Woking this weekend to earn a 1-1 draw.

FC-D added: “Tamworth is going to be a tough game, they will work hard but we have to come together as a group with a good attitude and enthusiasm and try and get a result.”
