Yeovil Town goal scorer Luke McCormick has said that the Glovers are ‘heading in the right direction’ after securing a point against Eastleigh.
Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Mark Stillman he said;
“Obviously, it stops the little rut we were on, and yeah, we would have liked to get three points, I thought we probably deserved it, I thought for the first 20-25 minutes we were brilliant and that’s when you’ve got to put teams to the sword – and we didn’t.”
“We conceded a sloppy penalty and then I thought second half there was only one team that were going on to score, they had a few corners but I felt we dealt with them really well, on another day we score two or three, listen we’re still a work in progress, but to show the resilience to take a point today, move on to the new year and hopefully three points against Braintree”
The former Bristol Rovers man appreciates that results might not have been going the way anyone would have liked, but wanted to stress the bigger picture about a team working with their fourth manager of the season, he stressed that he feels like the club is heading in the right direction.
“[The goal] is your bread and butter as a box-to-box midfielder, getting the timing right and finding the corners, I thought Simsy did really well, it’s nice to have him back and hopefully we can create more chances, I think that’s what we’ve struggled [with] in recent weeks, it’s difficult when the staff come in, there’s a lot of things they want to implement and obviously games come thick and fast in this division, we’re moving in the right direction slowly by surely.”
“We’ve been trying to take on what the manager wants from you, because he’s the boss, his enthusiasm for the game and Dazza (Assistant Darren Simpson), all the boys are buying in but these things take time.”
McCormick’s seventh goal of the season earned him another sponsors’ Player of the Match, which he says his partner will be delighted about to have another trophy for the mantlepiece, but that focusing on earning the points is more important than the prizes.
“It’s all about the team, it’s all about the three points… we just want to keep moving in the right direction and hopefully, by 5:30pm against Braintree we can get three points. There was good elements in the Truro game, emotions are always high after games, so when you pick the bones out of things, there’s always bits that we’re working on behind closed doors, but obviously the result is the main thing and that’s what we’re tying to do… we’ll get there!”
