Well, that’s that. The 2025/26 season is done and dusted and how fitting that it ended with a bit of a bonkers scoreline as the Glovers conceded four first half goals (and scored one) in a 4-1 defeat against Solihull Moors. Here are Ian’s five conclusions from Huish Park…

It was a ridiculous start to the match. Ryan Jones forced the Moors keeper into a great save in the first minute, giving us a taster of some good green and white intent, but a minute later Solihull took the lead from a sumptuous strike that even Jed Ward couldn’t get to. Traffic meant some people were still arriving with Yeovil already 1-0 down and it only got worse. Every time the visitors got a shot at goal (except once) they found the back of the net. Oh to have some of that clinical finishing…

We had our moments. We weren’t without opportunities despite the scoreline. Terrell Works showed perseverance to claw one back and was bright in the final third. Will Merry constantly showed intent, driving forward and getting shots away. For me, if the opportunity to sign Merry is there in the summer I would try and take it. Harvey Greenslade got into good positions but the finish was lacking again. Once again, for all our possession we fluffed our lines in the final third.

Jed Ward deserved his ovation. Ward has been ever present this season playing every minute of every match (bar the last six minutes of this one) and he has been exceptional. Some of the saves he made this season were unbelievable and the standing ovation he received at Huish Park yesterday was well earned. We’ve loaned in some brilliant goalkeepers over the years and he’s certainly one to add to the ‘we had him at Yeovil’ when we see him in the television in a few years.

We were so patched up. When the team news came in with only two recognised defenders I was wondering (praying) if we were going for a makeshift back four. Alas, it was a three with Brett McGavin in the middle. That’s where we were as a squad, that our only ball playing midfielder who has been key to getting us play had to do a job in defence.

Thank god it’s over. In all honesty did we ever expect a lot this season? We started it with a manager that the majority of supporters weren’t behind who oversaw a pretty poor pre season which really didn’t set us up for success. After a month long recruitment process that took less than 10 days to unravel with Danny Webb’s departure, the wind was well and truly taken from our sails. It was less of a punch to the gut and more of a punch to the balls. Billy Rowley has done well with what he’s had to get us to safety in really difficult circumstances. The slate is clean and work starts now. Let’s see about the competitive c eh?

Yeovil Town manager Billy Rowley has said he’s already looking to the future after the Glovers finished off their 2025/26 season with a 4-1 defeat at home to Solihull.

Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Mark Stillman, the gaffer wasn’t overly worried about the scoreline and instead wanted to look foward.

“It is a really disappointing [result]. I think we just spent 45 minutes with the supporters there and walking around and talking to so many. I just want to massively thank them again.
It’s been what, four or so months that Darren and I came in and yeah, the first day or so I felt a real, you get a real buzz when you come into Huish Park, it’s obviously a special place and and the supporters matched that. I’m massively thankful and grateful for what they’ve given us in terms of their support this season.

“But today, we’ll we’ll try and try and erase that from our memory really. We actually didn’t play as badly as the scoreline suggests, I don’t think.
Sam the analyst told me that they had five shots in the first half and scored four, which is a bit of a rare thing in football and then at the end of the game, I think we almost doubled their shot count and we’ve scored one, so, sometimes these results happen.

“A few weeks ago, I saw Hartlepool losing 7-0 to Wealdstone and you know, these freak games do happen. It’s just a real shame that we’ve received our one on the last game of the season in front of our supporters. So, it is what it is, we’ll try and erase that from our memory and just look into the future now.”

Speaking on the support from Yeovil’s supporters, Billy Rowley said thanks…about a million times!

​“It really means a lot to me. It’s so easy as a supporter, I’ve been there, where it’s easy now losing a game 4-1, you could stand there and maybe boo and and say some some bad things to players and and management and nobody did.

“They were clapping, they were beating the drum, they were asking for the lads’ autographs and it’s a very special special feeling to be appreciated, even though after such a bad loss.

“So I cannot commend them enough, you know, I’m giving them all a massive massive round of applause again and, just massively appreciate that.”

Rowley confirmed that discussions had already taken place with those who will be departing Huish Park this summer, but wanted to pay tribute to their efforts in a season of ups and downs.

“All of the lads that will be leaving us know now. I said pre-game to all of them and this will go on record, I have got nothing but positive things to say about all of the lads that I’ve worked with this season. I still have to take into account quite often that I’m the fourth manager that’s stood in front of them this year and and given them a different message and a different shape and a different this and a different that.

“I said it in front of the supporters a minute ago, what we’ve achieved here, getting 51 points is no mean feat. It’s not special, it’s nothing that we should be like hanging up on our trophy cabinet, but it gives us a chance to to go again.

“So I massively thank everybody that’s put on a on a shirt this year and given their all. And we’ve got to a stage now where, I think part of my job is to realise that I need to maybe rebuild and and introduce some new ideas and fresh faces. But that’s football, that’s nothing personal. That’s just part of my job and I need to do what I see fit. But again, I can’t speak highly enough of those boys that have that have run around this season and got us 51 points.”

Of course, thoughts turned to Jed Ward to cleaned up in the end of season awards, when asked if there was a chance we could see him back next year… it’s Huish Park or the Bernabeu!

​“Well it’s either us or Real Madrid I think, so hopefully it’s us. Jed is – I’m trying to think of a of a description for him really. He’s like the perfect model professional. The way he trains, he’s out early, he stays late, he eats right, he gets in early, he talks to everybody, he supports players, he gives great information, he’s intelligent and he’s an unbelievable goalie, so that tops it off really. I don’t know where Jed will end up in his career but I envision it will be very high.”

When asked to reflect on his time as Yeovil boss, Billy Rowley said that he was proud to be given the chance to lead this club into the future.

“I said this the other day. I’m very proud and honoured to work for this club, I appreciate Prahbu, Sahil, and Bhavna for giving me this opportunity.

And all I want to do for the supporters is give a display every Saturday here which which makes people proud. That’s going to be the aim. We’re going to be looking for players that fit our criteria and our and how we want to play and how we want to look on the pitch.

But most importantly, I want them to be, you know, proper good human beings and and all our supporters to be proud to be associated with these lads.

That sums it up, a whirlwind. I’ve gone from obviously winning most weeks to like struggling to score goals, in the same season.

I think it’s always difficult as well when you come into a team in the winter period, it’s something that I’ve heard on multiple podcasts and I’ve heard, top managers talk about this, world-class managers, when you come in November, December, January it’s it’s arguably the hardest time because you don’t get as much time to train as you want.

The pitches aren’t great. Probably the buzz to be out on the training pitch because of the weather is maybe slightly less than it would be in pre-season. You get less time with the boys. It was really hard to kind of effect as much as I wanted to from a playing perspective.

This gives us a real clean slate now. We’re safe, we’re up. We can now start really building a team and hand-pick players that we think suit our style and how we want to look on the pitch and then we’re going to have a good chunk of pre-season to really embed some of those ideas. And from experience, you can get decent work done in the first few months, but it will always probably kick in around November-December time. So, you know, that’s that’s going to be the plan. We’re going to try and build a squad and a team that can compete at the at the top end of this league.

We’re going to try and play a style of football which excites our supporters and players want to be a part of and by the new year we want to be we want to be in a good place and I think we will be.

​I’m going to put some put some music on now and have a beer with with some of the staff and and, just relax.

Yeovil Town’s Jed Ward has thanked his team mates and fans after sweeping the vast majority of the end of season awards following the final game of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking to Mark Stillman after the game he said the result of the game could be forgiven, given the overall nature of the campaign.

“[It was a] terrible start, we weren’t at it, but again, we’ve had such a long season, such a draining season that I think the fans wouldn’t be too disappointed that it went like that.

We’ve had some tough times this season, but also some very good times, so I think we look at the season as a whole to be back in this division next season is massive for this club and I definitely think that things are definitely going to turn next year and going to be even more exciting.
​You’ve got lads out of position and all that sort of stuff, hot day. They’re all excuses. I still think we should have started better but again, like I said, tough season, worked hard for a long long periods of this season and to finish it today, um, still in the league is a big achievement.”

The Bristol Rovers loanee was subbed off with a minute or two to go to a standing ovation, with over half a century of appearances to his name this season, he then took home FOUR end of season awards after the game.

“​To to come off as I did with the the applause that I got, it was such a surreal feeling. We’ve been through the trenches like I said and to come off today in the sun in front of all of them it’s a nice feeling. They were immense throughout the game and and if you keep that up next season it’s just going to help the lads massively.
​
​We joked about it throughout the week but, I didn’t think I would and then I saw Gouldie getting ready so, yeah that’s when I found out!
I think it’s 50 starts in all comps which is amazing for me, great achievement, so yeah I’m really happy with that.

It’s such a like I said surreal feeling to be recognised by this football club, by the fans, by my own players, it’s such a nice feeling and yeah I could have given it to every single one of those players, player’s player. I think they’ve been amazing with me and amazing throughout the season.
I think the cup run that we run on was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the Hartlepool game away. I thought that that summed us up as a team and when we went and fought for each other. Most of the wins have been been amazing this season.”

The awards aren’t done yet, the Glovies are yet to be crowed and surely the ‘keeper will be front and centre for those gongs too…

Yeovil Town lost their final game of the season in a frantic opening 45 minutes, with Solihull Moors winning 4-1 at Huish Park. A brace from Jacob Wakeling, Scott High and Joe Sbarra were punctuated by a consolation from Terrell Works, leaving the Glovers shell-shocked going into half-time.

Yeovil came out in the second half and huffed and puffed, but the visitors sat deep and held firm, leaving the half-time decimation as the full-time result.

First half

Both sides came flying out the blocks from kickoff, as Ryan Jones drove centrally from the right hand side, firing off a shot in space from outside the box that stung the palms of Laurie Walker. The resulting corner didn’t come to much, and from the counter-attack, Solihull Moors took the lead just 90 seconds courtesy of Jacob WAKELING striking from outside the box.

Solihull almost made it two following the goal, forcing a good stop down low from Jed Ward just six minutes into the game, before Yeovil started to settle into the game after a frantic opening 10 minutes.

13 minutes in, and it was two, as Scott HIGH burst through the defensive line to strike from the right hand side – despite the best efforts of Jed Ward, who got a hand to the shot, it left Yeovil with a mountain to climb.

Three minutes later, it was three. Solihull carved through the makeshift Yeovil defence with ease, as Jacob WAKELING bagged his second, and Solihull’s third of the game, with a low strike into the bottom right hand corner.

Finally, Yeovil managed to make themselves a couple of chances, with shots from Will Merry and Terrell Works being saved and blocked respectively.

25 minutes in, and Yeovil forced another corner out of Laurie Walker, as Will Merry drove inside from the left hand side and fired a shot towards the bottom left hand corner. Page and Works almost linked up following the corner being cleared, but a foul was called and a drink’s break took place.

Following the break, Yeovil got one back, as a long ball down the right hand side found Terrell WORKS – he cut past two Solihull defenders and stuck the ball in the left side of the goal to pick up his fourth goal in green and white.

Solihull almost restored their three goal lead soon after kickoff, as a brilliant cross from Oscar Rutherford found the head of a Solihull man, but their header went just wide of the post.

36 minutes in, and it was four – a ball over the top of the Yeovil defence allowed Joe SBARRA through on goal in a one-on-one with Jonathon Page, his shot was well-taken, finding the bottom right corner to reset the lead to three.

Dakarai Mafico was then forced off with an injury, being replaced by Harvey Greenslade, marking the end of his loan spell with Yeovil – best of luck with whatever you do next Dakarai!

Just after the six additional minutes had been announced, Ryan Jones hit another fierce shot from the edge of the box, but the knuckle on the ball caused it to lift and whizz over the bar. Half-time finally arrived, with a smattering of boos met the players as they left the field.

Half time: Yeovil Town 1 Solihull Moors 4

Second half

Right from kickoff, Yeovil looked to press high, and were almost rewarded for doing so as Terrell Works closed down a clearance from Cox; he got the ball to James Daly who got the ball to Page. Nobody looked willing to take the shot but Perrett let fly from the edge of the box, being blocked.
Moments later, Solihull Moors made a triple substitution, including an unforced goalkeeper swap. Will Merry then drove hard from the left hand side shortly after, his shot being closed down and put behind for a corner.
Around the hour mark, both Terrell Works and Dan Ellison found their way into the referee’s book for preventing counter-attacks for Solihull, as well as Brett McGavin unleashing a shot from distance; however it landed comfortably at the feet of sub ‘keeper Will O’Sullivan.
Harvey Greenslade had the next chance for Yeovil, as a good high ball found him on the edge of the box, but his shot blazed over the Thatchers Terrace – not one for the highlight reel.
A couple of minutes later, and it was Terrell Works once more on the run, dancing through the defence and firing from the left side of the six yard box, but O’Sullivan got down well and saved with his legs. Yeovil’s momentum was disrupted soon after, as Scott High limped off with injury, being replaced by Solihull stalwart Jamey Osborne.
Another shot for Greenslade was closer, but still high over the bar from the left side of the box, as Yeovil were unable to get that extra yard of space they needed to shoot centrally.
Further chances came for Yeovil, as Solihull were quite happy to sit deep and let the Glovers attack. Harvey Greenslade cut inside with a nice heel chop, leaving Oli Tipton in a heap on the floor but his shot was blocked for a corner, and Will Merry drove into the box soon after, but his shot trickled just wide of the right post.
The end-of-school feeling was in true force at Huish Park, as Matt Gould made his league debut for Yeovil as the 90 minute mark hit; Alex Whittle also made a late appearance from the bench.

It’s the final game of the season this weekend as Yeovil Town take on Solihull Moors, with kick-off at Huish Park 12:30pm.

FORM…

YEOVIL TOWN

It’s the end of the season, and even I’m bored of saying it but the Glovers have been inconsistent at best throughout the campaign. The most consistent they have been is when losing three in a row back in August. Thankfully though with the end of the season comes the end of the Jekyll and Hyde form (fingers crossed).

Last time out form had to be chucked out the window as Yeovil took on a formidable York City side. In what was always going to be a difficult away trip, the Glovers succumbed to a 3-0 defeat, although playing some decent football, the quality in sides was easy to see. An opener from league top scorer Ollie Pearce set the Minstermen on the their way to three points, before their other star man, Josh Stones doubled the lead three minutes from half time. With the game all but wrapped up, Joe Grey added a third in the second minute of added time at the end of the match.

SOLIHULL MOORS

The Moors sit one spot above Yeovil going into this game, and have been very similar to the Glovers when it comes to recent form. From the last five fixtures, they have two losses, two draws and a win to their name. That sole victory was two and a bit weeks ago, when they defeated Boreham Wood 4-1 at home.

If we look at their most recent game, the Midlands side lost 3-0 at home to Boston United. That game saw Solihull drop to 15th in the table and replaced by Boston. The game was in the balance until the 66th minute when striker Conor Wilkinson was sent off for allegedly making a discriminatory remark to referee Sunny Singh. The official took both sides off the pitch for 20 minutes and The Moors never recovered, Boston scored three times in the final 23 minutes to win comfortably.

KEY PLAYERS…

YEOVIL TOWN – THE TEAM

With it being the last game of the season I thought I’d bring some positivity to end the season. In what has been a very turbulent campaign for the Glovers, with it being the first year of the new ownership, having four managers and ultimately a high turnover in players.

So for the last game of the season, the whole team is important. From Player of the Season contender goalkeeper Jed Ward to the fellow loanees of Terrell Works, Dak Mafico and Troy Perrett and everyone in between. Vote for your Player of the Season – HERE. It may not have been pretty at times but this team has seen us to a solid mid table position even if it looked scary at times. For many it’s the last time they will play in front of the Huish Park faithful and let’s hope they can put in a performance that we as fans can be proud of as we stroll off into the early summer sun.

SOLIHULL MOORS – LAURIE WALKER

It’s not just the Glovers who have their own star keeper, with the Midlanders’ number one being their main man. Walker, has been solid this season, keeping key clean sheets and being, like Jed Ward, a solid base at the spine of the team. It was a tough time out last time for the shot stopper as he conceded three but he was a strong presence before his side went down to 10 men.

Before that game however he had been in what can only be described as great form, with only two goals conceded in the five games leading up to the Boston game. Clean sheets are what makes a keeper valuable and for Solihull Moors they have a very valuable asset in Walker.

THE GAFFER…

The final gaffer to sit in the away dugout at Huish Park this season is Chris Millington. The 50-year-old has had very solid first season in charge at the ARMCO Arena. Millington took over the job at the start of October after Matthew Taylor’s dismissal.

The former Man City academy player never made an appearance in professional football as he became a coach of the Altrincham under 18’s at an early age. Millington first foray into professional football as a manager was as the assistant to Pete Wild, when he was caretaker boss at Oldham. In 2019, Wild was announced as Halifax Town manager taking his assistant with him. After a successful three seasons in Yorkshire, Wild moved on to pastures new at League Two side Barrow. Millington however stayed and became the first team boss a day later. After another three years at Halifax, Millington resigned.

LAST TIME WE MET…

It was way back on September 2nd the two sides last met, which was at the ARMCO Arena. Yeovil took the three points that day with a smash and grab 0-1 win. The only goal of the game was scored by Junior Morias at the end of the first half.

Junior Morias opens the scoring.

The last game played at Huish Park between the two, was in September 2024, with Solihull taking the spoils. A Conor Wilkinson goal in the third minute that day secured the three points for the Moors.

DON’T I KNOW YOU…

Just one former Glover making his way back to Huish Park on the Solihull bus this Saturday. That sole player is Emmanuel Sonupe, and you will be forgiven for not remembering the winger. The 30-year-old joined Yeovil in November of 2020 and would go onto make 15 appearances for the Glover until he left in the following September. Sonupe scored twice during his time in Somerset.
Emmanuel Sonupe, remember him now? Still no? Okay.

THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE…

Andrew Humphries will be the man with the whistle on Saturday, for more on him and his team read Ben’s article here.

Yeovil Town manager Billy Rowley is predicting a busy summer at Huish Park after seeing his playing budget increased by the club’s owners.

The Glovers’ owner Prabhu Srinivasan revealed this week that the club had also appointed a Sporting Director who is yet to be identified and, spoiler alert, his manager’s comments brought us no closer to finding it out.

Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Jack Killah about his plans for the summer ahead of the final fixture of the National League Premier Division against Solihull Moors in a lunchtime kick off​ on Saturday, Rowley said: “In the last month or so, there has been the discussions with the owners. We weren’t fully sure we’d be safe (from relegation), so there was no point in planning for the long-term and medium-term, but now we’ve been given the all clear we can start really looking into the next sort of six to nine months and what that looks like. It’s busy time for us, I’ve got multiple Zoom calls this week with potential new signings and and players that I want to learn more about. I think the aim for us is to bring in some players have got a lot of ability, but just the right character and, and the right personalities to try and have a much better season than we did this season.

On the increase in his playing budget, he added: “When I stepped into this brilliant club, I was always aware of Prabhu’s ambitions and aspirations for this club. Sadly he’s not able to come over here too much because of where he lives in Dubai and issues with his visa and stuff, but whenever he is here, he fills me with a lot of confidence. I love sitting down with him and hearing about what he wants and what he wants from us as a management team and a staff. I’m very much looking forward to these next few months and if we get the right people in, the right players in, then we can stand here this time next year and have some, some really positive conversations.

“I had exactly the same experience two years ago (as manager at Walton & Hersham). I had three lads returning to my previous club and, and sat down with (assistant manager Darren Simpson) in multiple cafes in Surrey and planned a team. We built a team that finished in the play-offs the first season and have just won the league this season. So it’s something that I am passionate about, I would say it’s definitely one of my strengths and together with Darren we look forward to getting to work.”

Rowley will be without midfielder Delano McCoy-Splatt for the final fixture at the weekend after the AFC Wimbledon loanee dislocated is shoulder in last weekend’s 3-0 defeat at title-chasing York City, but he is expecting to have captain Jake Wannell and full-back Alex Whittle available to be named on the substitutes’ bench against Solihull.

The two sides are separated by just two points in the middle of the table with the visitors in 15th place having accrued 53 points from their 45 fixtures and the Glovers’ one place lower.

The Yeovil manager said: “I was thinking this the other day, it’s going to be our last game at Huish for the season on Saturday and every time I go there I genuinely love bumping into supporters. They’re there as early as three hours before the game, I love speaking to old supporters, new supporters about the present and the future and I always get a really good feeling from them. We’ve had a lot of ups and downs, we’ve had some decent results, some poor ones, some okay performances, some bad ones. It’s been a learning experience for me, something that I’m very grateful for and I am pocketing every experience I’ve had and learning opportunity I’ve had. I know I am going to be better next season.

“I’m really glad that the game’s at Huish Park though because I feel like the energy from the crowd and it’s such a fantastic stadium. I was there two days ago just having some meetings and stuff and and every time you walk in there and you see the pitch in good condition, it gives you a buzz. So hopefully we can use some of that as motivation.”
