Charlie Lee talks to the BBC ? YTFC YouTube

Yeovil Town caretaker manager Charlie Lee has said he was “gutted” his side couldn’t earn a derby win over them lot from down by the seaside.

A fourth draw against W*ymouth this season, this time 0-0 and Lee was trying to see the positives when speaking to BBC Somerset’s Sheridan Robins.

“I think it was a nervy affair from both teams, we set up to be a bit more solid, but I expected us to produce more in the final third, it was a bit of a non-affair in the first half.

“I was delighted in the second half, I just can’t believe we didnt manage to get the ball in the back of the net.”

The Glovers drew a blank, much like on Good Friday, despite having more possession, corners and shots on goal and Lee thinks that it may have come down to the composure when it mattered most.

“We rushed ourselves in the final third, we played some great football to get it there, we made more passes today than any other day, I think we need to slow ourselves down in the final third, we rushed everything, we had them on the back foot the whole second half.

“To be honest, I thought it was coming, I’m really gutted it didnt.”

The boss was pleased with the clean sheet despite the odd scare or two and had a special mention for the travelling supporters.

“We were desperate to win for the fans, that’s what we spoke about before the game, this one was for them, we were desperate to score.

“They were brilliant, they have been brilliant, they’ve been brilliant since I’ve been here, that was great support, even in the first half, there wasn’t much going on apart from them!”

The manager said he would patch up his “walking wounded” ahead of the game against Stockport next week, with Ben Barclay set to miss out against his parent club.

Match Report

1300 Yeovil Fans at Weymouth

The fourth meeting of the season with the old enemy in W*ymouth ended in yet another draw – and a pretty turgid one at that.

For most part of it, the game lacked the blood and thunder which is supposed to come from a derby with the home side, desperately in need of points in an increasingly futile battle against the drop, the more committed to the cause.

Yeovil looked like a team with nothing left to play for despite a travelling support which outnumbered their hosts.

But, the draw means the last time W*ymouth won a competitive derby against us is still Boxing Day 1988. Well, you have to take the positives when you can find them.

First half

The first effort of the match fell to the visitors when Charlie Wakefield’s ball in to the box found Morgan Williams rising highest, but the effort was blocked by the Terras’ defence.

But, after that scare, it was the home side who looked the more of a threat going forward. On eight minutes, Ben Thomson had the ball in Grant Smith’s net soon after the Yeovil defence had been caught napping. Luckily the linesman’s flag was up.
Tom Bearwish had the ball in the net again on 13 minutes, heading home after good interplay by Ben Thomson and captain Josh McQuoid. The linesman’s flag sparing the blushes again.

Mark Little put a weak header in to the hands of W*ymouth keeper Ross Fitzsimmons soon after, but that was about all there was for any threats on goal.

Passes were not finding players and it was difficult to see where an attacking threat was coming from whilst, in fairness to them (is that allowed), W*ymouth were looking more threatening every time they came forward in the first half-an-hour.
There was more to fight for from the home side than those in white; every tackle, every pass was played with greater urgency. In terms of league position (if not supporters in the ground) the Terras clearly had more to play for.
Indeed, the highlight of the final 15 minutes of the first half was Luke Wilkinson’s altercation with a home fan who appeared to throw some kind of beverage at him as he prepared to return to the action after an injury. The ‘gentleman’ in question was removed from the stadium, much to the enjoyment of the away fans.

In terms of things to shout about, that was probably we good as it got. Goalless at half-time.

Half time: W*ymouth 0 Yeovil Town 0

Second Half

The opening attack of the second half offered more than the entire 45 minutes the preceded it. Tom Knowles broke forward down the right and his shot was smothered by Fitzsimmons.

But, as happened in the first half, the home were quicker to everything. On 52 minutes, the Yeovil defence tried to play offside and let Bearwish get a shot away which was stopped by a smart save from Smith.
Six minutes later, Ash shrugged off a timid challenge from Wilkinson forced Smith in to action again.
That did seem to spark a bit more of an energy from Yeovil, with the ball played on the floor seeming to reap more rewards – who’d have thought it?!
Josh Neufville was introduced for Wakefield on 71 minutes and his presence seemed to spark some greater urgency.
Jordan Barnett. Picture courtesy of Mike Kunz.

On 74 minutes, Reuben Reid did everything right after picking the ball up on the right of the box, lofted a ball over to Barnett arriving at the far post, but he headed it in to the ground and over.

Three minutes later, a Gorman free-kick led to a melee in the box during which Morgan Williams went down under pressure. Big penalty appeals, but probably not for me.
At the other end, Bearwish was involved again lashing a shot across goal but no-one was on hand to turn it in.
There were driving runs down both sides from Knowles and Neufville but nothing which threatened to create more than a half chance.
In fact, it was another substitute, Adi Yussuf, who almost created something when he broke down the right but could not pick out anyone in the middle.
The games final chance came when Knowles was fouled on the edge of the box. The final chance of the game and Wilkinson’s effort came back off the wall.
There were some plenty of moments for heroes, just not enough heroes.

Full time: W*ymouth 0 Yeovil Town 0

The statistics make grim reading for W*ymouth going in to the Easter Monday visit from their old rivals across the border.

The Good Friday defeat at Maidenhead United stretched the Terras’ winless run to eight games and means boss David Oldfield has just one win from 16 games.

They have also not scored in seven of their last eight matches with their only goals coming in 3-2 defeat at Wealdstone.

Only already relegated Dover Athletic have scored fewer fewer goals (32 to their 31) while their have conceded the fourth most goals with the two they let in against Maidenhead taking them to 71 conceded. Only Dover (85), Barnet (76) and King’s Lynn (72) have let in more.

Oldfield said “In my mind, it’s the next game so it looms right into focus in terms of the importance.

“Obviously, for everybody involved it’s a derby game which is fantastic and we need to make sure we’re looking forward to that.

“But in terms of the reality of the situation it is our next game. We need to get ourselves ready to fight as much as we can.

“We’re aware how big the game is and we need to make sure we look after our supporters as much as we can with a performance that does ourselves justice.”

 

FROM THE MANAGER

Following the defeat at Maidenhead United on Good Friday, Terras’ boss David Oldfield admitted his side were now facing an uphill battle to survive, he told the Dorset Echo: “We knew how difficult the task was when I first came in to the group. I haven’t managed to affect the results enough, that’s absolutely plain and clear.

“Whatever happens now is a moot point, we can’t control anything but ourselves. For us to perform as we did is another missed opportunity and a reality check about exactly where we are.

“I can’t comment on other teams, we have to take responsibility, keep working and fighting until the very last kick of the season.”

 

TEAM NEWS

W*ymouth captain and striker Josh McQuoid is back after serving a two-match suspension.

But winger Tom Blair, who had a trial with Yeovil in the summer of 2021, will miss out serving the final match of a four-game suspension.

Midfielders Ollie Harfield and Omar Mussa are both doubts through injury.

Both Andreas Robinson returned after a foot injury on Good Friday and Xander McBurnie played the full 90 minutes against Maidenhead.

Josh Leslie-Smith (head) and striker Martell Taylor-Crossdale (knee) continue to be assessed.

FOOT IN BOTH CAMPS

With the geographical location of both teams, there are a lot of players who have seen service with both these clubs.

However, the only one who is likely to feature in the latest meeting of Somerset-verus-Dorset is Brandon Goodship.

The striker played eight times for Darren Way’s Yeovil in 2017, scoring a crucial goal in a 1-0 win at Dagenham & Redbridge which helped keep us in the League.

He was released at the end of that campaign and dropped down to the Wessex Stadium where he scored 38 goals in his first season and 39 in his second campaign in the Southern League Premier earning him a move in to the Football League at Southend United.

Despite making more than 50 appearances for the Shrimpers, he was released following their relegation to non-League and returned to W*ymouth last summer.

Goodship has been a regular starter for the Terras in recent weeks and would be expected to feature against one of his former clubs.

Charlie Wakefield is looking forward to experiencing the atmosphere of a derby day at old rivals W*ymouth on Easter Monday.

The forward scored when the two sides met for the first competitive fixture in front of fans for 25 years in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round back in October, played 83 minutes of the replay that followed and the full 90 minutes in another 1-1 draw at Huish Park in league action in February.

Speaking ahead of the derby, he asked with a grin whether Yeovil could send their seagull bothering neighbours down with a victory in Dorset. When he was told they couldn’t, he replied: “That’s a shame, that would have been good.”

He added: “I saw our fans sold out the away end and they will be thinking they have to turn up in big numbers, but those are the games you look forward to, the derby games with big atmospheres.

“They are fighting and derby always adds that bit more, as you can tell in the games we played them earlier in the season.”

When he was speaking on Thursday ahead of the Good Friday defeat at home to Aldershot Town, Glovers’ fans had only sold out their initial allocation of seated tickets – but in the days that have followed, we have also sold our standing allocation and almost all of an additional allocation of seats for the Bob Lucas Stadium.

Yeovil Town have launched an internal investigation after Aldershot Town players accused “a member of the coaching staff” of discrimination.

Shots’ skipper Lewis Kinsella posted on his Twitter account on Sunday morning saying that the staff member has been “discriminative towards two of our players and one of their own” before his side’s 2-0 win at Huish Park on Good Friday.

He tagged in the Kick It Out anti-racism campaign’s account to his post.

In a statement, Aldershot confirmed the incident had been included in the report of match referee Steven Copeland.

https://twitter.com/lewis_kinsella/status/1515614024377016331?s=21

That post was soon followed by one from Shots’ striker Mo Bettamer, an unused substitute in the match, who added: “After a few days to reflect and initial shock to my system, before the game on Friday a member of the Yeovil Town coaching staff thought it was okay to directly discriminate me and my fellow colleagues.

”To think it is 2022 and this is something we still have to deal with is disappointing but not surprising.”

In response, Yeovil Town posted a statement saying: “Yeovil Town are aware of allegations made by Aldershot Town players following Friday’s National League fixture.

“We take accusations of any form of discrimination extremely seriously and the club can confirm it has begun its own internal investigation.

“We will discuss our findings with Aldershot Town over the coming days in order to deal with this situation correctly.”

Later on Sunday, Aldershot confirmed it was aware of the allegations, adding: “Accusations of any form of discrimination will always be received by Aldershot Town with the upmost importance and seriousness.

“We can also confirm the incident has been included in the referee’s report.

“We will not be making any further comment until the FA have concluded their findings.

“Separately to the above, we would also like to place on record that we as a football club are also fully supportive of the personnels involved in the incident too.”

A large number of players, including Yeovil striker Adi Yussuf, have responded to the posts by both Bettamer and Kinsella with likes and messages of support.

Toby Stephens claps the Yeovil fans

On loan Yeovil Town midfielder, Toby Stephens played 90 minutes for Barnstaple Town on Saturday in a 2-1 win.

Stephens helped see his side to just a 7th win of the season as his temporary club came from behind to win against Melksham.

Ollie Haste who has represented the Glovers in the Somerset Premier Cup this season as part of the Yeovil College/Under 18s programme came off the bench in the same game.

Barnstaple remain bottom of the table and have two games left to play.

Charlie Lee’s debut in front of the Huish Park crowd ended in defeat as Yeovil Town failed to take their opportunities and gifted an Aldershot Town side battling against the drop two goals on a sunny Good Friday afternoon.

Coatesie travelled down from his northern home for the match between his hometown team and his adopted hometown team (no, he wasn’t the away fan who needed medical treatment), and here are his conclusions….

Even the glorious sunshine could not hide the cracks at Huish Park. I’m not just talking about on the pitch – although there were some of those, which I’ll come too – but this was my first home game in well over two years and it’s sad to see the state of the place. Even if you can look past the unloved, run down infrastructure, I heard at least half-a-dozen people complain at the lack of a printed programme (not a problem for me, but it clearly it is for some supporters), the tea bars were shut for away fans meaning big queues in the Screwfix Family Stand. Yet again, it’s the same relentlessly cheery volunteers and underappreciated staff who are fronting up, whilst the only sign of our absent owner, Scott Priestnall, were the chants calling for him to go. If I were him, I wouldn’t want to face up to what my lack of interest and investment was doing to more than 125 years of history either……but I’m not the one who bought a football club less than three years ago.

On the pitch, it wasn’t a great day either. We seemed to forget how to score goals again. The freedom we

been playing with in recent weeks deserted us and we were unable to find our way through an Aldershot team who had absolutely no reason to do anything more than keep it tight and hit us on the break. Josh Neufville was paired alongside Reuben Reid in a front two and ran tirelessly but too often in the first half there were aimless balls played up to him. At the start of the second half we got it down better and laid siege to the visitors’ goal but just could not find a way through, and when we gifted Giles Phillips the freedom of the area to head home the opener, it felt like game over. I think we could have stayed out there all Easter and not scored.

Our full-backs didn’t not look comfortable. When I saw Mark Little and Jordan Barnett on either side of defence, I was pleased that we had a recognised right and left back on the pitch. However, from the start, Mark Little did not seem to be running comfortably and had problems containing Aldershot down his side. Barnett looked rusty in his first start in almost a month and, although he can still put in a fantastic sliding tackle when he needs too, does seem more effective further up the pitch. I’d put Morgan Williams back in for W*ymouth on Easter Monday.

Dale Gorman. Picture courtesy of Mike Kunz.

Please can we get Dale Gorman off free-kicks with a shot on goal? I know he scored that one at Dover, but surely we have other players who have the potential to get a more meaningful effort on goal. There was one in the first half of this match about 25 yards out which I thought was crying out for a Luke Wilkinson pile driver to test the keeper, but no. Or, to quote my Thatcher’s Stand companion, Chris Fox: “Oh, f*** off, Gorman!” It was funny to start with (tequila and all that) but I’m now starting to see what the Glentoran supporters were telling us when we signed him – he shoots from literally everywhere.

Tom Knowles was a bright spot – again. I feel like I have done nothing but complain in my previous four conclusions….so let me end of at least one positive. There were some bright spots and, as is often the case, Tom Knowles was one of them with his relentless desire to attack. When we got the ball to him, Aldershot didn’t know what to do and when we repeated that with other players (especially early in the second half) the same occurred. You know what you need to do on Monday, boys.
