Darren Sarll says he believes his Yeovil Town side are getting back on a run of form having gone three matches unbeaten with a goalless draw against  Solihull Moors today.

The point against the visitors, who moved in to sixth in the National League table with the result means, the Glovers have now won one and drawn two of their last three matches, having lost their previous six in all competitions.

Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Ian Randall after the game at Huish Park, the manager said he was pleased to have another match coming up on Tuesday night at Wealdstone to try and keep the momentum going.

Sarll said: “I feel we are back on a mini run now. We go (to Wealdstone) with a lot of confidence.

“We have conceded one goal in three games, I know we have only scored one (well, W*ymouth scored the other for us – sorry Adi) but defensively we have given ourselves a really strong foundation to move forward from again.

“The players will come out from seven days with belief they can defend and keep clean sheets and that gives us confidence throughout the team.

“The team knows they only need one or two chances to win a game and that is probably the team we are, and we either make the most of those chances and take the three points or don’t and settle for one – but at least we are settling for points.”

He described his back four of Mark Little, Ben Barclay, Luke Wilkinson and Morgan Williams as “a different class” as they kept out a Solihull side which had scored 15 times in their previous four matches

But, for all their defensive qualities, the lack of a goal-scorer was painfully apparent as the Glovers drew a blank in front of goal.

Sarll said he believed Joe Quigley, who was departed for Chesterfield last month with chairman Scott Priestnall blaming falling attendances for the sale, would have “thrived” on the chances created today.

He said: “We obviously need a centre forward of a Rhys Murphy-type, who is going to concentrate on goals.

“We have Adi Yussuf who is a wonderful foil and Reuben Reid who is excellent with his back to go, but we could do with another.

“But, we are working with what we have, I don’t see any cavalry coming to support, so we have go to keep improving them as players.

“The more they get in there, the more they will have seen it and the more they will go through the process of what is right and wrong.”

Sarll said agreed with the interviewer that the best chance of game fell to Charlie Wakefield as the first half drew to a close.

The former Chelsea youngster burst clear of the Solihull defence, but his effort was saved by the foot of Moors’ keeper Ryan Boot.

The manager said: “(Charlie) is re-training because he’s been a wide player all his life, but, because of his pace, he creates a different type of chance than those we have been creating.

“So we have to allow him the experience of getting in to those positions and having time to think about it before he makes the next step of being a potent goal-scorer. I think Charlie can get there.”

Jordan Barnett, who limped off after 22 minutes this afternoon with an ankle injury, is “one of two or three” injuries which the boss will be taking in to the midweek trip to Wealdstone.

But, the manager praised Barnett’s replacement, Lawson D’Ath, who played the rest of the match despite it being only his second appearance after a nine-month lay-off through injury.

Sarll said: “I asked (Lawson) if he could achieve 70 minutes and he said ‘of course’, like they always do, but at the end there he had a little stretch off where cramp was starting to seep in.

“Straight away when he came on he turned the momentum of the game because he’s such an intelligent footballer.

“He takes up the right positions with no preparation in that role and he handles the ball beautifully, so to get him through 70 was great which will hopefully stand him in good stead for next Saturday (at Eastleigh).

“I’m not sure his body will allow him to go again on Tuesday, but maybe.”

Yeovil Town midfielder Dale Gorman says the 0-0 result against Solihull Moors was a fair result after two solid defensive sides kept each other at arms length.

Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Ian Randall he said that the Glovers knew what was coming and dealt with it well.

He said: “It was a tough battle out there, to be fair, we knew what they would bring today and we matched it throughout”

“I thought we were very accountable today, each and every one of us.”

“These games are going to be tight games and one goal could win them, Charlie (Wakefield) has had that chance in the first half, we’ve had a few sniffs and on the other side we’ve made some terrific blocks and I think a 0-0 is a fair outcome of the game”

The Northern Irishman was asked about the performance of the returning Lawson D’Ath who played over an hour replacing the injured Jordan Barnett and was confident that with a little extra quality that draws will turn into wins soon.

He said: “I thought we did well, that’s three game where we are unbeaten and that’s a clean sheet against a side that’s up there and that’s something you can’t throw away easy”

“At this stage of the season, when you’re playing teams above you, you can’t lose to them or the gap gets too big, we took a point, we move on to Tuesday.”

“Them 0-0’s will hopefully turn into 1-0’s, 2-0’s hopefully, it’s important we didn’t lose today… we’ve got our game in hand on Tuesday, away at Wealdstone, we need to back up today with a win there to put some pressure on the teams above us.”

The Glovers travel to Wealdstone this Tuesday, with the hosts 20th in the table having not played since the 29th January and with only two wins over bottom side Dover in the last 10 league games.

Match Report

Yeovil Town made it five points for the week with a goalless draw at home to in-form Solihull Moors at a windy Huish Park.

Once again, it was a solid defensive performance from the Glovers who kept out the visitors’ forward line who had scored 15 times in their previous four games, but going forward was (yet again) the struggle.

The best chance for the home side came right at the end of the first half when Charlie Wakefield broke clear but his shot was saved by visiting keeper Ryan Boot.

Having been dominated in the opening period, the Glovers upped the tempo after the break but for all their resoluteness at the back, could not find a breakthrough.

The result sees us drop one place to 12th in the National League table, leap-frogged by Torquay United who have played a game more, ten points off the play-offs and 19 off W*ymouth who occupy top spot in the division’s relegation zone.

First half

For the first 30 minutes of the half, there was very little to make any of the missing home fans who decided against returning after the midweek draw against W*ymouth to question their decision.

Solihull certainly looked the more confident and controlled on the ball, perhaps unsurprising given they had won their last four matches, scoring 15 times and conceding none in the process, whereas Yeovil looked more than a little disjointed.

The first chance of the game fell to Moors’ midfielder Callum Maycock who was found by Andrew Dallas‘ ball in from the right after six minutes, but Grant Smith in the Yeovil goal was equal to the effort.

The visitors stranglehold on the game continued with full-back Jordan Cranston, who saw red in the reverse fixture in the Midlands at the end of October, found defensive colleague James Clarke who was unable to get a shot on target.

On 22 minutes, Jordan Barnett limped off with what looked to be an injury to his foot and he was replaced by Lawson D’Ath, who had played 23 minutes in the past nine months. The took up Barnett’s position on the right side of midfield.

To say his manager was less than impressed with Barnett’s decision to come off would be an understatement.

Solihull forward Joe Sbarra, who has eleven goals to his name this season, had a great opportunity on 36 minutes when Maycock found him inside the box, but his header went wide.

As we crept in to the final five minutes of the half, the hosts were still looking for their first shot of the match.

It came in the 42nd minute when Charlie Wakefield broke clear of the defence, but seemed to have too much time to think on it as he journeyed from the edge of the centre circle, and Ryan Boot in the visitors’ goal saved with his feet.

Three minutes later, Knowles tried an audacious chip over Boot from almost on the halfway line which went off target.

Having weathered a storm for the majority of the half, those opportunities towards the end of the half gave the performance a bit more of a balanced feel. Goalless at the interval.

Half time: Yeovil Town 0 Solihull Moors 0

Second half

There was a swirling wind blowing around Huish Park which seemed to be favouring the team shooting towards the Thatcher’s End, and that was Yeovil Town.

It was certainly a brighter start for the Glovers with the quality of D’Ath shining through whenever he had the ball on the left side of midfield.

On the 56th minute, Matt Worthington found Knowles who broke in to the box, beating two visiting defenders and poked a shot in and his effort was deflected away for a corner.

Just after the hour mark, Danny Newton fashioned the visitors’ first opportunity of the second half when he got clear of Luke Wilkinson, rounded Smith but fired his shot in to the side-netting.

With Solihull starting to carve out more opportunities and the shot-shy Yeovil forward line starting to quieten down, Sarll brought on striker Reuben Reid in place of Worthington after 72 minutes.

As the game entered the final ten minutes, Maynard had another good opportunity blocked at one end before Wakefield went forward at the other and his ball found Knowles whose shot went for the near post, but only found the side netting.

Five minutes from time, good forward play by Dallas saw him clipped, the referee played the advantage and Cranston fired wide.

That was the final chance of the game, but there was still time for Cranston to get his second red card of the season against Yeovil, picking up his second booking for a cynical foul on Tom Knowles.

Full-back Mark Little and forward Tom Knowles both returned having missed the midweek derby draw with W*ymouth through suspension, and there was a return for Josh Staunton, who had missed the past two matches through injury.

Jack Robinson, Adi Yussuf and Sonny Blu Lo-Everton all dropped to the substitutes’ bench, where there was no sign of stand-in goalkeeper Max Evans, the versatile Alex Bradley and young midfielder Toby Stephens, who have all featured recent weeks.

For the visitors, who occupied the National League’s final play-off spot, full-back Jordan Cranston, who was sent off in the reverse fixture at the end of October, returned in place of on-loan Harry Boyes.

Glovers’ ‘keeper Grant Smith

Yeovil Town Goalkeeper, Grant Smith has praised the defensive unit that has proved so strong this season.

The Glovers have conceded just 25 goals during the league season, one of the best defensive records in the division.

speaking ahead of the Solihull game, the a Number 1 was proud of the team’s efforts.

“We don’t concede many chances, a lot of the games where we’ve kept clean sheets, I’ve barely had a save to make, we work very hard on that.”

‘Shakira Hips’ Smith said that whilst he used to set himself targets for clean sheets that was no longer the case as he preferred to keep his focus elsewhere it did admit to the Gloverscast, he’s been known to celebrate a save like a goal and enjoys a scrappy 1-0 win more than most.

“For a goalkeeper, nothing beats a 1-0 win, everyone would love to win four or five-nil and have an easy win, but when you walk off the pitch at the end of the game having dug in for that last 30 minutes, they’ve been throwing absolutely everything at you and you’ve kept a clean sheet, it makes you feel like you’ve done a god job”

“That one on one save in the Stevenage game, I did celebrate it like a goal, I think it comes down to an important save at an important time, it wasn’t necessarily an unbelievable save, it was just an important moment in that game.”

Smith praised Luke Wilkinson for his consistency, Morgan Williams for his flexibility in different roles and Ben Barclay for the way he’s settled into the side but finished by saying that the side were up for the challenge of keeping Solihull’s front men out.

“It’s a good challenge, everyone wants to challenge themselves against the best in the league… But we take it for face value and give them all the respect”

Yeovil Town released a statement this evening condemning the behaviour of a minority of supporters at recent matches.

There have been several incidents involving pyrotechnics at Huish Park and at away matches this season as well as inappropriate chants, some of which are rife across football stadia at the moment.

The statement reads:

In recent weeks, the Club have become aware of an increase in anti-social behaviour by a small minority Yeovil Town supporters at home and away fixtures.

There has been an increase in wholly unacceptable language and chanting by this minority of supporters, something the football club strongly condemns. In recent months, there has also been an increase in pyrotechnics which we remind supporters are banned from all football stadia.   

As a football club, we want Huish Park to be a welcoming environment for all and will work hard to ensure incidents like this do not happen again. 

We would also like to thank the vast majority of fans who continue to showcase the football club in a positive light, both at Huish Park and when travelling to away grounds.”

It won’t be an instant fix, but fair play to the club for condemning behaviour which we’ve talked about on the podcast more than once this season. 

Do better, we’re a better club than that.

Adi Yussuf rises highest to head a ninth-minute winner against Barnet.
Picture courtesy of Mike Kunz.

In his pre-match press conference held on Friday morning, Darren Sarll spoke about the need for strikers Adi Yussuf and Reuben Reid to get more goals, but was full of praise for both players.

Yussuf has seven goals this season (sorry, we can’t give him the equaliser against W*ymouth on Tuesday) whilst Reid only has his injury time consolation goal in the defeat at Southend.

Sarll said the different style of his forwards meant he was “trying to use them to best effect.”

On Yussuf: he said: “He works harder for this club than I have seen him work for any club, the only problem I have is finding the balance with Adi and the other forwards. Adi has played more goals for me this season than he did for both his clubs last season combined, so he’s done brilliantly.

“I thought he was right to be used on Tuesday because we needed an awkward, bustling centre forward – but he missed two absolute, glorious chances, and that’s his job.”

Reuben Reid. Picture courtesy of Mike Kunz.

On Reid: The manager also spoke about how he saw signs in midweek of Reid being ready for a starting place against Solihull.

He said he felt the development and subsequent success of his forward line during the 33-year-old’s absence through injury had worked against him.

Sarll said: “Reuben’s been a victim of our form in that moment and I don’t think he suits the way the team has learnt to play because that dynamic changed. He’s a very frustrated individual, he does not want to see out his career, we have had some open and honest conversations and I thought he was the best I have seen him in terms of threat when he came on in Tuesday night.

“We can’t pigeon hole him as this link up man because a link up man without a goal threat is a defensive midfield player. He still has to bring elements of forward play whilst doing that link up. He needs to retain a goal threat, but he’s getting closer.“

Yeovil Town manager Darren Sarll said that the uncertainty around the ownership of the club is “unsettling” for both him and his players.

The boss and all his squad – with the exception of defender Morgan Williams – are out of contract come the end of the season and yet (it appears) no discussions are happening with any of them about their futures.

But, with Saturday marking two full months since chairman Scott Priestnall set a seven-day deadline to conclude a deal, it appears no employees at the club have been given any kind of update.

Yeovil Town manager Darren Sarll.

Asked about his the ongoing situation, the manager said: “It’s unsettling for me, definitely. As a father, as a husband, and all the other fathers and husbands in our squad, not having an idea of where you are going to be working in five months time can be unsettling and it can be beneficial to know.

“That’s completely out of our hands. The players are the employees of this organisation and I am their line manager, so when the line manager doesn’t have too much of an idea it’s hard to filter that down.

“I’ve had some conversations with some of (the players) and our viewpoint and our situation is quite similar.”

On January 18, Julian Jenkins, the former Cardiff City director behind talks to buy the club, said his Simul Sports Group was “in the final stages of due diligence“ around buying the club – but since then there has been no further communication.

Asked whether he thought a deal was imminent, Sarll said that the focus of his players and him was purely on the field.

He added: “I have known nothing from the start. It’s Scott’s business, not Darren Sarll’s. If I decide to keep my house, I have every right too, if I decide to sell it, it’s mine and I will do what I like about it.

“I am a professional football coach and working with 25-30 employees that report in to me and they need to focus on their job and we have to block out any noise.”

Former Glovers’ winger Nick Crittenden is “a great example” for the young players in the Yeovil Town squad, manager Darren Sarll believes.

The former Chelsea youngster, who made more than 150 times in four years at the club, was involved in the pre-match preparations ahead of last Tuesday’s derby with W*ymouth.

Having finished his playing career on the coaching staff at Dorchester Town, Crittenden has carved out a new career in accountancy and had a period looking after the books at Huish Park.

Of his role ahead of the derby, Sarll said: “I wanted someone there who’d played in those games (against W*ymouth).

“Nick is a great example as an ex-footballer who has rebuilt his trade (as an accountant), I think that is a wonderful example for young people.

“I wanted them to know he came on for Zola for his Chelsea debut and what a wonderful player he was for this club.

“When someone has lived and breathed that connection to the club for so long and it was great having him there.”

Whilst the boss said he expected Crittenden to “come in and out” of the backroom set up, there’s no progress on a longer term replacement for Terry Skiverton.

Josh Staunton could be back in contention for tomorrow’s National League fixture with Solihull Moors at Huish Park, according to manager Darren Sarll.

The midfielder missed the last two games after through injury fortnight ago and had been expected to miss three matches, which would put him out until the visit to Wealdstone on Tuesday night.

But, Sarll said he was expecting Staunton to be putting him “in a position” to consider him for selection in the Glovers’ training session on Friday.

Speaking ahead of that match, the manager said: “Josh is going to train today (Friday), so I think there is going to be a very difficult conversation today at 2pm between our physio.

Josh Staunton, who has missed the past two matches through injury.
Picture courtesy of Mike Kunz.

“Josh is a very demanding patient, he wants to get to the next bit yesterday and knowing him he will train this morning, get through it and then he’ll knock on my door and saying ‘I’m ready to go.’

“There should be more of a scientific process of coming back to play, but when you have got players like Josh Staunton who are ready to play with pain.

“I’m going to hold on to see how he does in training, knowing Josh he’ll be smashing in to things before the session has even started and he might put me in to a position (where I have to consider him) for tomorrow.”

He also revealed that midfielder Matt Worthington was “feeling tight” after coming off in the 67th minute of Tuesday night’s 1-1 derby draw with W*ymouth and would need to be reviewed ahead of the visit by Solihull.

 

Midfielder Lawson D’Ath can help to create more chances to get our strikers firing, the boss said.

The 29-year-old made his first appearance after nine months out through injury as a 67th-minute substitute against W*ymouth having re-signed until the end of the season.

Sarll said: “If you look at the creation of chances, we have tried to add to that by bringing Lawson in and even on Tuesday night, his passing, the way the ball arrives in front of the player just right. So many opportunities this season have been passed up because we have not got that creative timing right, so I am hoping as Lawson gets fitter and accustomed to game time, he will give us that.”

He quickly added that he believed the former Reading youngster was “nowhere near fit enough to start a game” yet.

Solihull Moors strikers Danny Newton and Andrew Dallas were both players that Darren Sarll spoke with about coming to Yeovil in the summer.

Newton played for the manager at Stevenage and joined this weekend’s opponents instead, whilst Dallas was also someone who the boss looked at.

He said: “I know Danny very well, I brought him to Stevenage from Telford, and he was a player we spoke with and we would have liked him with us. Andrew Dallas was someone they acquired from Cambridge for a fee which was out of our capabilities. I don’t know Andrew, but I know Danny, he did really well for me at Stevenage coming out of National League North and in to the League. They are in good form and Neal (Ardley) is a very experienced coach and a good guy, so these are tough games but they are the ones we have applied ourselves well in the past. I am looking forward to this one more than I was on Tuesday, it’s a good game for us.”

If W*ymouth – who picked up a winning draw at Huish Park in the week if their fans’ reaction is anything to go by – were bang out of form facing Yeovil Town, this weekend’s opponents, Solihull Moors, are bang in form.

In their last four matches, they have P4 W4 D0 L0 and scored 15 goals without reply.

Now, for context, those wins came against National League North side Southport in the FA Trophy and then bottom club Dover Athletic, two late goals at Torquay United and then Altrincham who were down to ten men after 22 minutes, but Neal Ardley’s men arrive in Somerset on the crest of a wave.

A striker who knows a lot about this part of the South West – see below for his manager’s review of the Westcountry – is Andrew Dallas, another player in form.

The former W*ymouth loanee has got 11 goals in his last four games, including all five in the 5-0 win over Dover and a hat-trick against Southport, and alongside him is an experienced head in Danny Newton, a player Glovers’ boss Darren Sarll will know from their time together at Stevenage.

The visitors will be without midfielder Jimmy Ball who made the move in to the Football League with Rochdale on transfer deadline day last week.

Anyone who attended the away game at Damson Parkway may remember him being a booking – it was an ‘orange card’ – for retribution against Tom Knowles, who he presumably blamed for his team-mate Jordan Cranston being unable to keep his hands to himself.

The fact Ardley was substituted Ball minutes after the booking tells you the boss thought his man got away with one there.

FROM THE MANAGER

It would seem that Solihull manager Neal Ardley has no plans to take his summer holidays in the Westcountry given his review of his side’s last visit to this part of the world – a 2-0 midweek win at Torquay – and his thoughts on a return visit down the M5 on Saturday.

Speaking after his side made it two wins in two for the week against Altrincham last Saturday, Ardley said: “We don’t mind Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, but when you do that for two weeks running it’s quite tough physically and mentally.

“We’ll have a breather now and then we’ll start preparing for Yeovil because Yeovil away and Torquay away they are horrible, horrible places to go.”

Well, not sure we think an awful lot of the Jaguar Land Rover plant around your place either, Neal, but anyway!

However, the Moors’ boss made the point that his side need to pick up wins against the teams below them which they have done in their last three league games – Dover, Torquay and Altrincham – have lost to Stockport and Bromley, who were above them in the table, in the two before that run.

Ardley added: “If you can win the games that you are expected to win like these last two at home, and you’ve got to grind out the ones that are tough like Torquay away and Yeovil away and try and pick up points.

“Everyone has to play each other, teams like Notts County, Wrexham, Chesterfield and Stockport, everyone has to play everyone.

“In some we have come up short and in others, Boreham Wood and Halifax, we have won them, but you have to win these games to stay in there.”

TEAM NEWS

Two players who will certainly not be around to trouble Yeovil Town this weekend are striker Justin Donawa and defender Callum Howe, who are both long-term injury victims.

Donawa broke his leg just before Christmas and has undergone surgery whilst Howe  has not featured since the start of December as he makes his way back from a long-term lay off.

Other than that, it’s a fairly clean bill of health available to Moors’ boss Neal Ardley going in to the weekend.

FOOT IN BOTH CAMPS

A striker either side will be hoping to rediscover their scoring touch against their old employers this weekend.

Adi Yussuf.
Picture courtesy of Mike Kunz.

In the green-and-white corner, Glovers’ striker Adi Yussuf has not found the net since his brace in an FA Trophy win over Woking in mid-December – sorry, Adi, we can’t give you the own goal against W*ymouth on Tuesday.

His record as a Solihull player is pretty similar to that for Yeovil – either excellent or average. In the 2018-19 season he scored 17 times as Moors reached the National League play-offs, earning him a move back in to the Football League at Blackpool where he failed to hit it off.

So much so, he was loaned back to Moors in September 2019, making his debut in a 1-0 defeat to Yeovil – the Luke Wilkinson 7/7 performance, yes – and managed just one goal in 11 appearances.

Equally, Adam Rooney‘s three-game loan spell at Huish Park in 2007 was equally anonymous.

He failed to pull up many trees in League One whilst on loan from Stoke City, but when on to be prolific north of the border with Inverness and then Aberdeen before repeating that form with Salford City.

He’s made 18 appearances this season, scoring three times, but his last goal was back at the start of December.

Other players with a foot in both camps include:

  • Josh Neufville (Solihull – September 2019-January 2020; Yeovil – December 2020-June 2021)
  • Wes McDonald (Solihull – 2018, Yeovil – 2018-2019)
  • Jack Storer (Yeovil – 2017, Solihull 2017-18)
  • Jake Edwards (Yeovil – 2003-04, Solihull – 2008-10)
  • Lee Morris (Yeovil 2006-08, Solihull – 2011-2012)
