There’s a name we’ve had before in the middle on Tuesday night when Tamworth visit Huish Park.

Oliver Mackey was the referee when the Glovers got trounced 4-0 at York City last season. Mackey sent Finn Cousin-Dawson off after 10 minutes and Dom Bernard late on as Ollie Pearce had a tap in master class.

He also took charge of the 1-0 win over Bath City in the National League South… **drifts off to dream of a Morgan Williams late winner**

No fewer than 106 yellow cards have been drawn from his pocket this season, from only 27 games too, just the three red ones though. He’s pointed to the spot on five occasions – he’s actually spent far more time in the EFL than in the National League system this season.

As far as his record with Tamworth goes, one game, a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Forest Green Rovers is all that appears.

Assisting Mackey are Grzegorz Kornasiewicz, Justin Amey and the fourth official is Stuart Kane.

The Rowley-coaster took another sharp dip as Yeovil Town’s FA Trophy dream died at the hands of lower league Southport. Dave was among the away supporters in Merseyside yesterday and here are his thoughts.

The dream is over and we only have ourselves to blame: Penalties are a lottery, but we picked all the wrong numbers in that second half. We were the better side in the first half but missed too many chances to put ourselves further in front at half-time and with the scoreline at 1-0, and that meant Southport always had a chance. They came out for the second half with that knowledge firmly in their minds and our substitutions assisted, we just got deeper and deeper as the second half progressed and Southport took full advantage. The miss from Chris Sze about 20 minutes before their equaliser should have been a wake up call, but we just did not wake up.

We lost the penalty lottery: After Brett McGavin had shown the way with the first penalty in the shoot-out, the choice of Aaron Jarvis for the next one was bizarre. In his pre-match comments, Billy Rowley had said Jarvis had travelled separately having been suffering with food poisoning and it showed, he offered nothing for the entire second half and to not even get his penalty on target spoke of someone who was either ill or has given up – or both. Jed Ward’s heroics in shoot-outs has got us this far in the competition, but there’s only so much he can do when two of his team-mates can’t even hit the target.

The sun sets on our dreams of a Wembley final.

Is there any point mentioning the need for a striker?: It feels like we say it in every one of these Conclusions articles, but when you look at the chances we spurned before James Daly pounced on a mistake, it seems so blindingly obvious. I get the difficulties with finding someone at this stage of the season, but when you see other clubs in our division signing strikers, is it really that hard? Really?! Campbell did alright when he was on in the first half, but the fact he can’t complete more than 45 minutes speaks volumes. Less said about Jarvis the better.

Credit to Southport: You have to tip your hat to Southport, they never gave up and the 3,000-odd fans inside Haig Avenue created a fantastic atmosphere. The fans I met before the game had much more of a sense of humour of the ribbing about being Scousers than the more sensitive ones on social media, and they thoroughly deserve their place in the semi-final. I hope they get a Merseyside derby against Marine in the FA Trophy this time around.

James Daly in happier times. Even this was more paper over the cracks.

This has to be a wake-up call: The progress in the FA Trophy has papered over some cracks in our squad, but now they have to be laid bare. There is no point in glossing over it, with the exception of a very select few, this squad is simply not up to it. There are 13 more league games left to play and we have to hope that there’s enough desire and quality in this side to get us over that line. If anyone in a position of control at the club thinks there is going to be the type of success which will bring in the crowds without major investment in the playing squad, they need to think again. If you ever thought this wasn’t a roller-coaster, the thrilling high of late win against Sutton on Wednesday and the devastating drop at Southport tells you differently.

Manager Billy Rowley described his side’s second half performance in their FA Trophy quarter-final exit to lower league Southport as “unbelievably poor.”

The Glovers started the second half with a 1-0 advantage after James Daly’s strike three minutes before the break, but spurned opportunities to add to their advantage.

A late strike from the hosts’ Ted Lavelle following intense pressure from the National League North side sent the game to a penalty shoot-out which Yeovil lost 4-2 with striker Aaron Jarvis and captain Jake Wannell missing from the spot.

Speaking after the match in Merseyside, Rowley said: “Credit to Southport. The crowd played a part today, I thought the pitch was difficult to play on, but it’s no excuse for how bad we were in the second half. We were unbelievably poor.

“The idea when you’re 1-0 up is to  make runs at the right time in behind, play in behind with a bit of quality, when they go long, try and smooth out the second balls and show some ability in tight spaces.

“We did nothing, we were just waiting to die, sinking deeper and then when we got the ball back, we’d turn it over in two passes. We got what we deserved and sadly Jed (Ward) couldn’t save the day in another penalty shootout. In the first half we were the better team, second half they were miles, miles better.”

James Daly celebrates his opening goal at Southport.

The Glovers’ boss brought on Jarvis, who had made the journey separately having suffered with food poisoning, at the start of the second half and introduced forward Harvey Greenslade, loan midfielder Troy Perrett and defender Dan Ellison, recalled from Weston-super-Mare to boost the squad missing several cup-tied players who featured in Wednesday’s 3-2 league win over Sutton United.

Rowley said: “Some of the boys  are tired, they’ve had to go for another 90 minutes and I felt like the subs today didn’t necessarily help us. It’s basic principles oof putting pressure on the ball is like understanding that there’s support around you and you can’t go, so stay in your slot. We looked really bad in the second half, really bad. We can come up with excuses of the pitch and we’re tired, but bottom line is we did not show enough quality, not enough to get on the ball. We got what we deserved.”

With the dream of a Wembley final now extinguished, the Glovers have just the National League Premier Division to focus on and a 3-2 win for Braintree Town, the team occupying the top of the division’s relegation places, at fellow strugglers Truro City means the gap to the dotted line has shrunk to five points.

Yeovil do have games in hand over all the teams below them, except Gateshead who have also played 33 times, and host Tamworth at Huish Park on Tuesday night looking for league points to extend that gap.

Rowley said: “In these times you look across the team and it’s never really one or two people’s fault in a in a loss, it’s usually multiple people, including myself. The worst thing we can do in this moment is like point fingers we need to stick together, we need to recover and we need to go and play Tuesday and and run our socks off.“

Yeovil Town’s FA Trophy dreams ended with a penalty shoot-out defeat at the hands of National League North side Southport.

The Glovers took the lead just before the half-time break when James Daly pounced on a mistake by the hosts’ defence to fire home his third goal in two matches, but after the interval the Glovers were battered by wave after wave of attacks from the Sandgrounders.

In front of vociferous home crowd of more than 3,000, it always seemed like an equaliser was coming and it arrived with just two minutes remaining when Ted Lavelle lashed home a thunderous strike.

That left the result down to the lottery of penalties and after Brett McGavin confidently thundered home the opening spot kick, Aaron Jarvis and captain Jake Wannell failed to even hit the target with their efforts.

Jed Ward’s save from Lavelle with Southport’s fourth penalty only delayed the inevitable and Danny Lloyd booked the Merseyside outfit in to the competition’s semi-finals when he fired home the winner.

First half

Following his two goals against Sutton United on Wednesday night, James Daly was in the Yeovil forward line alongside Tahvon Campbell, and it was the Glovers who had the better of the opening exchanges with a couple of dangerous attacks in the opening five minutes.

In the ninth minute, Dakari Mafico played in Alex Whittle whose looping ball in to the box found the head of Daly, hosts’ keeper George Pickford seemed to lose the ball in the bright sunshine and only got a fingertip on it, it hit Campbell but the contact was not enough to force it over the line.

Five minutes later there was an even better opportunity when Finn Cousin-Dawson swung in an inviting cross towards Daly, but his header was straight at the keeper. Great chance to turn the early pressure in to a lead.

Mafico playing further forward is looking for opportunities to get on the ball and when he does he looks capable to creating something.

The home side had their first effort on goal just before the half-hour mark when a free-kick was cleared as far as Jordan Slew whose low effort was dived on by Jed Ward this near post.

Campbell created another opening after 40 minutes after a neat interchange with Mafico and stumbled his way over a few challenges but couldn’t get his shot away.

But with three minutes of the first half remaining, Yeovil took the lead. James DALY seized on a loose back pass from Burgess rounded the keeper and fired home.

Half time: Southport 0 Yeovil Town 1

Second half

Striker Aaron Jarvis, who travelled up separately after suffering with food poisoning, replaced Campbell at the start of the second half.

Southport suffered a blow after 52 minutes when goalkeeper Pickford, on loan from Premier League Everton, was forced to go off with injury replaced by Chris Renshaw.

The hosts created an opening on 54 minutes when a long ball forward found Sze in a tussle with Mafico, but his shot was over. Moments later he smashed on straight at Ward.

You get the feeling it is going to take more than one goal to settle this and Mafico tried to find one but fired his effort in to the side netting.

Southport had another opening when Ward raced to the edge of his box and Sze got round him but Mukena was back to clear the danger. The home side are putting some pressure on here and the big crowd inside Haig Avenue feels like it is ready to explode in to life.

On 64 minutes, Harvey Greenslade and Troy Perrett replaced Whittle and Mafico, and then the lesser spotted Dan Ellison came on in place of Mukena nine minutes later.

Soon after his arrival Greenslade was released down the right but fires high and wide. We have struggled to keep possession when we had it and are dropping deeper and deeper as Southport press forward in search of an equaliser.

The home side had a golden opportunity to level with six minutes later. Ward pushed a shot out as far as Eze who had only keeper to beat and lifted it over the bar. We are hanging on here.

Exactly what looked like it was going to happen happened two minutes from time. An 88th minute clearance landed to Ted LAVELLE who smashed a beautiful shot in to the top corner. You can’t say they don’t deserve it and Haigh Avenue is rocking.

We have looked like a different team since the substitutes. Sat too deep, let them play and invited the pressure and, to their credit, Southport have taken it with both hands and deserve their chance to progress to the semi-finals in a penalty shoot-out.

How’s your heart rate today? Ian’s is still pretty high after another Rowley Rollercoaster. Here are his Five Conclusions from Huish Park…

That was a bonkers finish. When the seven minutes of additional time went up there was a roar of hope rather than expectation but what unfolded in that stoppage time was unlike anything I can remember at Huish Park. Jack Sims in the Sutton United goal had barely been tested in open play all evening and somehow we managed to find the reserves to not only equalise, but go on and win it. No doubt there are early leavers who woke up this morning knowing they could have witnessed a remarkable finish.

Brett McGavin celebrates a late, late winner in front of the Thatcher’s Stand.

James Daly was the fox in the box. It was a bit Dryden Experimental Experience seeing Daly through the middle but when it mattered most he was there. He was the sharpest to react to Sims’ spillage of Luke McCormick’s penalty spill and when Ryan Jones (who I thought worked tremendously hard all night) whipped a teasing cross in, Daly was there to lift the roof off Huish Park. The winger (…striker?) has boundless energy and may not score two more important goals this season.

It wasn’t a vintage performance. Plenty left Huish Park before 90 minutes last night and who could blame them? I thought struggled to create, looked like a team that hadn’t played a lot of football together and – in the second half in particular – were largely second best to Sutton. Passes were loose, Sutton disrupted us when they had to, and when they came down our left hand side it felt like there was something on every time.

But, a win is a win. You cant understate the importance of that result, no matter how it came about. Everything that needed to happen around us did, Braintree lost, Morecambe and Gateshead expended everything to draw 4-4 and we are now sitting pretty eight points clear of the bottom four, but who’s counting? It was not pretty by any stretch of the imagination but in terms of Huish Park moments, Brett McGavin’s penalty is up there. The relief, the joy, the trauma, all of it exploded in that moment and it was an unbelievable feeling. Who’d be a football fan eh?

I think it will be this way for the rest of the season. I’m not sure we’re going to see much identity shine through as the season draws to a close. As cliched as it is, each game will be it’s own cup final with varying levels of severity as we muddle through until the May. Until Billy Rowley has exactly what he needs to implement his vision of the team, In my opinion, we’re just seeing a patched up squad to get us through. This has undoubtedly been a baptism of fire for Rowley, and as he admitted last night he’s learnt a lot in his short time at the helm.
