Captain Josh Staunton admitted his Yeovil Town team-mates had only themselves to blame after a 2-1 home defeat to Barnet on Tuesday night.

The central defender described the two the Glovers gifted to striker Nicke Kabamba as “sloppy” and admitted their failure to finish off a host of first half chances cost them.

Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Sheridan Robins after the game, he said: “We’ve only got ourselves to blame, we need to be more clinical in their box and more ruthless and better positioning or decision making in our third and then we won’t concede two sloppy goals.

“That has been the story of the first two-and-a-half games we’ve had this season because the first half (of the opening day defeat) against Scunthorpe was a different matter.

“It is disappointing that we only have one point to show from it because you know how you are playing and we are playing some nice football and you can feel that energy from the fans.

“We have the basis of a very good team and I have to not let the results affect these young lads because we are doing the right things and hopefully when we start putting our opportunities away, we will be fine.”

With three games played, Yeovil are second-from-bottom of the National League table with just a single point with goal difference of minus two – however, Staunton is not planning on hitting the panic button just yet.

He added: “It is three games in and it would be nice to have points on board, but it’s not the end of the season. When those vital moments start going our way, I think the points will reflect our performances.

“I don’t think there is anything to worry about, it’s not the first time I have been in this situation but the signs are there but if we tighten up at the back and get a few more goals, we will be okay.“

Yeovil Town boss Chris Hargreaves said he was “angry” and “frustrated” after seeing his side concede two soft goals to go down to a 2-1 defeat at home to Barnet.

The Glovers conceded twice to visiting striker Nicke Kambamba in just nine second half minutes having missed a host of first half chances to pull ahead.

Chris Hargreaves talks to BBC Somerset’s Sheridan Robins ahead of the 2-1 defeat at Scunthorpe United.

However, the boss was quick to back the team for their “application and effort” despite the loss and vowed to put it right on the training field ahead of Saturday’s trip to Altrincham.

Speaking to the Gloverscast’s own Ben Barrett, the boss said: “My frustrations lie with us conceding. We haven’t been carved open, it’s just one or two lapses of concentration when you are so on top that suddenly one long ball can undo you and sadly that is the case tonight.

“That will be addressed very quickly on the training ground because it is vitally important.”

He added: “Had one of the chances gone in, the first goal is critical, but they score it with an easy goal and then the second goal gives us a mountain to climb and it’s not something which has taken too much to create which is why I am angry tonight.

“But, the application and effort and desire to play was very good and the creating of chances, we’ve just got to eradicate these errors.”

The first half saw visiting goalkeeper Laurie Walker pull off three impressive stops to twice deny striker Malachi Linton and wing back Jamie Reckord, who pulled a late consolation goal back for Yeovil,

Hargreaves added: “The keeper did well, but we can’t keep saying that. We have to have that ruthlessness to put people to the sword because we could have done certainly in the second half (in the opening day defeat) at Scunthorpe, for most of the game (in last weekend’s 1-1 draw) against Wrexham and tonight it was chance after chance.

“But players don’t intend to miss chances, we work hard in training every day to try and score goals and we are trying to deliver it, so we are back on the training ground on Thursday and we’ll work our socks off to make sure we do make the most of our play.”

The manager gave an update on loan winger Sam Pearson, who went off after 72 minutes with a back injury, saying: “Sam had a bit of a back problem and in the second half he could not accelerate and we might have to. We’ll assess it tomorrow and hopefully he’ll be back for Altrincham at the weekend.”

However, he did say the knee injury to central defender Ben Richards-Everton was “not as serious as it first looked” following a scan. The former Barnet man missed the chance to face his old side having also missed out against Wrexham, although Hargreaves did not offer any indication of when he might be back.

Lawson D’Ath and new signing Gime Toure both came off the bench in the second half, but neither appear quite ready for a start yet.

The manager told Ben: “Lawson is getting closer, I don’t think he’s quite there yet and with Gime, he’s done almost nothing for so long and even after five minutes tonight he was a little tight in his chest.

“He’ll be working hard for sure because there’s a good player in there and we need options. Alex (Fisher) and Mal (Linton) ran their socks off (against Wrexham), it’s difficult to do that every game so it’s our job to get Gime as fit as possible.”

Match Report

A second half brace from Barnet striker Nicke Kabamba earned them a smash-and-grab win on a damp Tuesday night at Huish Park.

After a first half which saw visiting keeper Laurie Walker pull off three fantastic saves to twice deny Yeovil striker Malachi Linton and Jamie Reckord, it took until 72 minutes for the visitors to make their hosts pay for not taking their chances and then doubled it after an error from goalkeeper Grant Smith.

Jamie Reckord pulled one back after 82 minutes which sparked a late flurry of attacks which could not find a breakthrough.

In the words of our own Ben Barrett co-commentating for BBC Somerset, “skullduggery has prevailed” and you’ll not be surprised to hear that former Glover Dale Gorman was at the heart of the dark arts.

Here’s how it went down…..

First half

Chris Hargreaves named an unchanged squad from the 1-1 draw against Wrexham at the weekend with Malachi Linton and Alex Fisher paired up front, whilst Gime Toure and Lawson D’Ath, who both impressed whilst coming off the bench three days earlier, both remained among the substitutes.

The opening 20 minutes were all about Barnet goalkeeper Laurie Walker who made three fantastic saves to deny the Glovers.

After just four minutes, strong play by Fisher saw him win the ball well and then unselfishly play the ball to Jamie Reckord whose shot was superbly stopped by the big keeper, who was at it again four minutes later when good play by Sam Pearson set up Linton whose effort was kept out.

Linton was denied again on 18 minutes when his free header was denied by probably the best of the keeper’s three saves with the ball almost behind the keeper.

That saw Barnet begin to enjoy a bit of possession without doing much to carve out any meaningful opportunities as the game ticked past the half-hour mark. One thing is for sure, former Glover Dale Gorman is likely to spend much of his game in the ear of referee, Gary Parsons.

Walker was at it again on 38 minutes when Charlie Wakefield, who was having a quiet game up to that point, got involved and fed the ball on to Pearson who turned on the edge of the box and fired in a shot which the former Stevenage keeper did superbly to deny going in the wrong direction.

Moments later, Gorman fulfilled his role as the pantomime villain when he made the most of a tackle from Fisher earning the striker a yellow card. The home crowd let him know what they thought of him and the Northern Irishman loved it – as you’d expect.

The half ended goalless and Barnet no doubt went in thanking the efforts of their keeper for keeping them in the game.

 Half time: Yeovil Town 0 Barnet 0

Second half

With just five minutes of the second half played, Sam Pearson burst through and lifted the ball over the keeper but fluffed his lines from a glorious opportunity. Fisher kept the ball in play but his effort was cleared off the line. Great opportunity – again.

Fisher brought the ball down well moments later, but his effort was tame and easily held by Walker.

Just before the hour mark, Yeovil introduced Gime Toure in place of Fisher, who was on a booking.

It took until the 65th minute for the visitors to put pressure on Grant Smith as referee Gary Parsons failed (a sentence quite often uttered….Rule 1, I know, I know) to give a free-kick in their favour in the middle of the park. Mason Ephron-Clarke got away and put in a shot which Smith had to deal with.

However, with the chances missed at the other end, you just knew the sucker punch was coming and it came on 72 minutes. Ephron-Clarke was at the heart of it again, firing a low cross in to the box and Nicke KABAMBA was there to steer home to opener.

Ex-Glover Dale Gorman is finally booked by referee Gary Parsons. Picture courtesy of Mike Kunz.

Lawson D’Ath was introduced in place of Pearson straight after the goal before Gorman finally found his way in to the referee’s book and was shortly substituted for his own safety.

But, with 11 minutes remaining, the visitors got their second A mistake by Max Hunt led to Smith came for a ball that was not his to come for and he found himself in No Man’s Land allowing KABAMBA to lift the ball over him and his second of the night.

Moments later, Chiori Johnson replaced Linton with Charlie Wakefield moving up front and the substitute soon found Lawson D’Ath whose cross came in from the right and found Jamie RECKORD at the far post and he fired home his second goal for the the club. Lifeline?

Sam Beard sent a free-kick just over the box which had Smith scrambling soon after and the keeper will have been relieved to see the effort go wide.

Toure almost turned an injury time corner home when he smashed an effort in which was blocked by a Barnet player on the line.

The pressure was all from Yeovil in injury time with a penalty shout for a shove on Morgan Williams before Toure and Sam Perry both had chances. However, it was too little, too late for the home side.

Full time: Yeovil Town 1 Barnet 2

In what will be a shock to absolutely nobody, Malachi Linton made this week’s Non League Paper’s ‘team of the day’ following his wonderstrike earned the Glovers a 1-1 with Wrexham.

Linton joins three ex-YTFC names on the list with Tristan Abrahams and Rohan Ince both in the mythical side managed by Darren Sarll.

The full team is below.

In: Gloversblog, Five Conclusions, Latest Yeovil Town News

The first match under Chris Hargreaves at Huish Park ended with a 1-1 draw with the National League favourites Wrexham. Here are Ian’s Five Conclusions (although it could have been more) from a scorching afternoon of football.

Let’s not write off the 3-5-2 just yet. I wondered if we’d see a back four against Wrexham after the terrible first half against Scunthorpe. What do I know though? It was significantly more effective against Wrexham and we we’re on the front-foot with it too. Charlie Wakefield and Jamie Reckord were wingers more often than they were at full-back. Matt Worthington and Sam Perry got early touches on the ball and we used them in the midfield far better than last week. But for the sloppy opener, it felt like things started to click yesterday.

Josh Staunton was imperious in the second half. In the first 45 minutes, Wrexham got a lot of joy. It felt like Ollie Palmer and Paul Mullin were given a bit too much license to dictate. After the half time break, there were a couple of moments where Palmer dropped deep to pick up the ball and Staunton was on top of him immediately to prevent it. He won duels with Mullin in the second half and showed why he’s pivotal in that back three. Based on yesterday, I’d have Staunton at the heart of the defence moving forward.

Matt Worthington. Picture courtesy of Mike Kunz.

Because Matt Worthington stepped up and took charge in midfield. It feels like we say every season is a big season for Worthy, but yesterday was one of the best games I can remember him having in green and white. In a trio of Perry and Sam Pearson, Worthington is the experience. He’s always had experience around him, whether it was Charlie Lee, Jimmy Smith, Staunton or Gorman, Worthington has always been the ‘young’ one. But, yesterday he showed what he can be about. He never stopped running, he never stopped challenging for headers that he was never going to win, he put himself about and (just about) managed to stay out of trouble. Towards the end of the game, he went shoulder to shoulder with Paul Mullin and came out on top with the ball and got a move going nicely, which typified his performance.

Gime Toure could be a fans’ favourite. His first touches of the ball saw him wriggle through three Wrexham players and earn a free kick. His second touches of the ball saw

him drive at the right back and flash a wicked ball across the face of goal that was screaming to be tapped in. He showed moments of skill and a real intention to drive forward. He’s a different type of attacker to anyone else we’ve got at the club and hopefully he’ll build off of that cameo and produce even more.

Malachi Linton can be the star of this team. His first game in front of the Huish Park faithful will be one to remember. A goal as good as any you’ll see at Huish Park, smashed home with frustration after missing a guilt-edged chance moments earlier says a lot about the character of Malachi. Like his teammates, he never stopped chasing, he fought for the team and that effort led to the chance that Howard saved. Last weekend he showed enough to make me optimistic and yesterday I thought the same. He’s off the mark now, let’s see where he goes!

Sam Pearson

Chris Hargreaves had special praise for loan duo Sam Perry and Sam Pearson following the Glovers’ 1-1 draw with Wrexham.

Perry, on loan from Walsall, impressed after a difficult debut and speaking exclusively to the Gloverscast’s Ian Perkins the gaffer said how pleased he was with the young midfielders showing.

“As a midfielder especially – I was a midfielder, so I’m probably harder on midfielders, once you get into the game and into a passing rhythm you become a different player”.

“When that first couple of passes comes off you work your way into the game, I said the same to Worthy (Matt Worthington) at half time.

I thought both midfielders were outstanding, they worked their socks off, very pleased with that but would like them to chip in with goals.”

Pearson & Matty Grivosti

As for Pearson, on loan from Bristol City, Hargreaves was pleased with his ability to step up to this level.

“It’s a big jump for Sam to come into such a big environment and such a big game. He’s been playing (Under) 23s football at a very good club in Bristol City but its very different.

He was excellent, he was bright, his legs had given up on him so we had to give him a rest, but he showed enough to show he’s a very talented footballer with a bright future”

Ollie Haste at Truro ? Truro City YouTube

Two of Yeovil Town’s loan players clocked up more valuable minutes for their temporary clubs on Saturday.

Defender Ollie Haste played the full 90 minutes for Truro City in a convincing 4-0 home win over Dorchester Town.

Whilst goalkeeper Max Evans was once again in action for Larkhall Athletic.

The Larks went down 1-0 at home against Tavistock AFC with the Larkhall social media team praising Evans for his performance between the sticks.

Toby Stephens remains yet to play a competitive game for Truro, he joined at the same time as Ollie Haste, played as a trialist against Torquay, but has not figured since.

Next up, Evans’ Larks travel to Bishop’s Cleeve in the Southern League Division One South on Tuesday night, whilst Truro face Poole Town on Wednesday.
