Brett McGavin told BBC Somerset he was ‘very disappointed’ to not get anything in the Glovers clash with Scunthorpe this afternoon.
Yeovil dominated the first half and should have gone in ahead at half time, but a Danny Whitehall penalty changed the game and the Glovers never recovered.
The midfielder told Jack Killah: “[I’m] Very disappointed. At halftime we obviously felt comfortable. I thought we played really well, but yeah, to come away with nothing is really poor. It’s a really sloppy penalty to give away, that probably killed our momentum, even though it shouldn’t have.
McGavin added: “I feel like we looked tired, everyone’s had a busy schedule, so no excuses, but I think that’s probably where the game changed today in that second half. Look, everyone’s tired, but it’s not an excuse. It’s a classic case of not taking our chances and getting punished for it, that’s probably why they’re in the playoffs and we are where we are. I hate the fact that we’re that team that plays well but doesn’t come away with any points. But look, [we have a] week off now in terms of no midweek game, so we’ve just got to make sure we’re ready for Saturday.”
It was a familiar tale for Yeovil as Billy Rowley’s side created openings and should have scored and McGavin didn’t want to point the finger.
“It’s probably been a problem all season for us. That’s not a dig at the front players. We probably have the least touches in the final third out of a lot of teams, so it’s all of us. It’s not anyone’s fault, we’ll just have to work as a group to see if we can score goals at Boston and the remaining games.
“We know that it’s tight everywhere, so we’ve got one eye behind us. Hopefully, most of our focus is in front and see how high we can climb. But look, it’s important we get as many points as we can and where we end up is where we end up.”
Despite the result, the Glovers play well in the first half and McGavin, who enjoyed a brilliant evening against Tamworth heaped praise on his midfield partner Dakarai Mafico.
“I’ll give a lot of credit to Dax, because I think he’s brilliant. I love playing with him in there. I think our job is to give us a lot of control and I feel as if we can do that for the team. I know what the gaffer wants from me, he’s made that clear since he came in [and] when I play with Dax in there, I feel as if we can do that.”
