Yeovil Town manager Billy Rowley said his side would learn from the experience of losing their unbeaten start to the new season after surrendering a two-goal lead to go down to a 3-2 defeat at Southend United.

The Glovers were leading 2-0 at Root’s Hall with an hour on the clock courtesy of a first-half strike from Archie Davies and then a quick break which led to captain Luke McCormick grabbing his sixth of the season.

But, when hosts’ midfielder Darren Oldaker fired home a stunning free-kick to reduce the deficit, Southend turned the screw and late goals from Leon Chambers-Parillon and substitute Promise Omochere sealed Yeovil’s fate.

Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Mark Stillman after the game, Rowley said: “It is heart-breaking, we did the same to Barrow the other week and this is the league we are in. All these teams have some top players, you only have to look at the free-kick (from Oldaker), not many players in this league are scoring that and their winner (comes from a player who has joined from) the Football League.

“If we zoom out on this game, we were hopeful today of getting a good result and that would’ve looked like us scraping a win maybe, or getting a good draw. In the context of the game you’re 2-0 up and you always expect to get at least a point at that moment – but it wasn’t our day today.

“I just have said to the boys inside, we’re off the back of a really good start to the season, the group’s been really good and I think it’s important that we all stick together in the changing room. We understand one loss isn’t the end of the world. It’s a good chance for us to learn, to review, to improve, and that’s exactly what we’ll do.”

“We’ve got a very young group, some of the boys are not used to playing in this type of environment, even small things like trying to get information onto players to press certain players is really difficult, so you’ve got to rely on some of the senior lads, who are absolutely knackered. So there is loads to learn, loads to improve on, and that’s exactly what we’ll do.”

The boss admitted his side were fortunate to find themselves 2-0 ahead with an hour gone, but admitted that his side could have done better defensively against a Southend side playing with their tails up after Oldaker pulled a goal back with 24 minutes remaining.

Rowley said: “The first goal was a bit of a rash tackle from Jordan (Norville-Williams), who I thought was excellent today. I’ll have to watch back the foul, but maybe he doesn’t need to make it. Oldaker has got a tremendous right foot, one of the best in the league. He’ll do that multiple times this season.

“I think the second goal (from Chambers-Parillon) was poor from us. We managed to regain the ball up high and we just didn’t keep it. We tried to dribble into pressure, turned it over and then they went down the other end and scored.

“For the third goal, we jump out on the press and (defender Joe Gubbins is) left one-on-one in the box. Again, I’ll have to watch that one back, but the lad that scored is an incredible athlete and he’s taken his goal well.

“We probably didn’t deserve to win the game today and a draw would have been fortunate for us. Southend were the better team today for me. They probably deserved to win the game.”

The game was the Glovers’ third in eight days having played two games in three days over the Bank Holiday weekend and on loan defender Ben Radcliffe was missing with a hamstring injury. Rowley admitted he had to take influential midfielders McCormick and Brett McGavin off in the second half at Southend and the changes cost them.

He said: “We had bad news this morning when we woke up at the hotel, (Radcliffe) ruled himself out. He’s had a bit of a niggle all week and didn’t want to risk anything, so he had to drop out of the squad.

“Brett McGavin was actually throwing up during the warm-up and just before he came out to warm up. He’s just told me inside that he’s thrown up five times since we took him off, so he’s obviously got food poisoning. Brett was really good with the ball, but I could tell he lacked energy because of that.

“Then we had to make changes because of bringing Brett off and (McCormick’s) calf has blown up as well, he said he was getting cramp. So all the changes were enforced really.”

The defeat means Yeovil have 11 points from their opening six matches and now have a week to recover before AFC Fylde are the visitors to Huish Park next weekend.

Rowley concluded: “I think two months ago in pre-season, if you’d told me this and shown me the start we’ve had I probably would’ve taken it. Naturally, as probably every single supporter who’s travelled today and anyone associated with the club will be, you’re still disappointed to lose. I hate losing. But what it does is make me hungry to not lose as often, and that’s the message to the boys. We’re going to have to turn up (to training on) Monday, review, recover and keep getting better.“

Yeovil Town’s unbeaten start to the new season came to an end as Southend United grabbed three goals in the second half to take the points at Root’s Hall on Saturday lunchtime.

The Glovers looked to have pulled off a perfect away performance as they led 2-0 in Essex courtesy of a first half goal from Archie Davies and a second on the counter attack from captain Luke McCormick with an hour on the clock.

But, when midfielder Darren Oldaker lifted in a superb free-kick eight minutes later. That upped the volume levels inside Root’s Hall and the home side grabbed the three points through Leon Chambers-Parillon and then substitute Promise Omochere, the striker on loan from Bristol Rovers.

First half

Yeovil boss Billy Rowley brought defenders Jordan Norville-Williams and Archie Davies and midfielders Zain Westbrooke and Ryan Jones were all in to the starting XI, having started the quartet on the bench for the 3-2 home win over Tamworth on Monday. There was no place in the squad for on loan Crawley Town defender Ben Radcliffe, who was taken off early in the second half earlier this week, and defender Jack Kingdon returned to the squad. For the home side, former Glovers’ winger Lewys Twamley started for Southend with on loan Bristol Rovers striker Promise Omochere on the bench.

Yeovil started with what appeared to be a flat back four with Norville-Williams and Davies on the left and right with ex-Southend man Joe Gubbins and Joy Mukena in the middle. The opening 15 minutes lived up to Rowley’s pre-match prediction of “a chess match” of an encounter with Southend enjoying the better of the territory and possession, but neither side doing anything to force either keeper in to action.

The first meaningful chance for either side saw Yeovil take the lead with their first shot on target after 25 minutes. A good run forward from Archie DAVIES saw him run on to a Westbrooke pass, beat Southend defender Harry Taylor and lift the ball over keeper Joe Duncan.

That seemed to spark Southend and Ryan Colclough had the first chance which caused Yeovil keeper Jos Barker to have to make a save. The 20-yarder from the edge of the box was well caught by the visiting stopper.

Leon Chambers-Parillon had a good run and shot which warmed the palms of Barker just after the half-hour mark and the forward had another effort which he hit in to the ground and the keeper had to dive for although the ball went wide without the keeper’s help. Southend are getting in behind Yeovil quite easily wide Colclough down the left and Twamley down the right having some joy.

It’s not been the end-to-end basketball match which we saw against Tamworth in the previous game, but, as predicted by Billy Rowley ahead of the game, this has been a game for admirers of the technique with two sides who want to play the ball around.

Second half

Southend started the second half like they had got a flea in their ear from manager Kieron Dyer and took just three minutes for Colclough to try another effort from the edge of the area which Barker had to turn wide. Moments later there was a huge shout for a penalty as Colclough went down under a tackle from Norville-Williams. Referee Tolu Sangowawa was unmoved, with my green-tinted spectacles on it looked like a good tackle, but fair to say the majority of Root’s Hall disagree with him.

Chambers-Parillon dragged a shot wide from the edge of the box on 54 minutes and there are some loose passes from Yeovil which is giving Southend the opportunity to attack us. A minute before that opportunity Ste Walker replaced Slavi Spasov.

On 57 minutes, the hosts should have levelled, a ball lifted in to the box deflected off Mukena and Chambers-Parillon totally fluffed his header. Yeovil broke and the Ryan Jones picked it up on the right side, skipped in to the box and laid it off to Luke McCORMICK who placed a beautiful effort past the keeper. It has been complete one-way traffic this half with Southend in complete control, but this has been a textbook away performance from Yeovil up until this point.

Twamley had an effort tip over the bar by Barker and that turned out to be the ex-Glover’s last action of the game as Southend made a triple substitution on 63 minutes. On loan Bristol Rovers striker Promise Omochere was one of those arriving as the home side looked to get back in to this game. For Yeovil, James Daly and Hayden Muller replaced Ryan Jones and Brett McGavin.

They did exactly that three minutes later. A free kick just outside the penalty area and Darren OLDAKER did superbly to get it over the defensive wall and in to the far corner. You have to take your hat off to that type of quality. Root’s Hall is awake again.

The wasteful finishing from the home side continued when Harry Cardwell spurned a great opportunity with a header from a cross on 77 minutes, but two minutes later they pulled level. Good play from substitute Omochere saw Southend break in to the box and the ball got laid back to Leon CHAMBERS-PARILLON and he placed an effort through a crowded penalty area and past Barker.

The comeback was completed with five minutes to go. A great ball in to the box found Promise OMOCHERE who rolled Joe Gubbins and absolutely smashed a strike in to the net. It has been all Southend this half and they have pulled it back.

With three minutes to go, Yeovil had a huge shout for a penalty when Johl Powell was caught by a wild kick from Vontae Daley-Campbell inside the area. There will be no sympathy from the home fans given their ire against the referee, but that was a stonewall penalty.

Having been 2-0 up with 30 minutes to go, even against a side who will undoubtedly be pushing for promotion places come the end of the season, will be hugely frustrating for manager Billy Rowley and the travelling supporters.

For probably the first time this season, the second half substitutions seemed to disrupt us more than they helped us and the loss of McGavin and McCormick in midfield in particular had an impact.

On loan defender Ben Radcliffe has ruled himself out of Yeovil Town’s fixture at Southend United after feeling a re-occurrence of a hamstring injury which has troubled him in his career.

The 22-year-old has impressed since signing joining from Crawley Town on a deal until January and was taken off early in the second half of the 3-2 home win over Tamworth on Monday.

Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Mark Stillman ahead of kick-off in Essex on Saturday, Yeovil manager Billy Rowley said: “Sadly Radders pulled up with an injury a couple of days ago. We were unsure if he’d play, and this morning that he’s kind of ruled himself out. He’s had some hamstring issues in the past, so he knows the feeling it gives him and we’ve decided not to take that risk on him.“

The Glovers have brought defenders Archie Davies and Jordan Norville-Williams back in to the starting line-up after they began on the bench on Monday. Defender Jack Kingdon, who has not featured in the squad for the past couple of matches, is named on the bench at Southend.

The lunchtime kick-off sees two sides who have started the season well face off. Southend have lost just one of their opening five fixtures whilst Yeovil have made an unbeaten start to the new campaign with three wins and two draws in their start.

Asked what kind of a game he was expecting, Rowley added: “I think there’s gonna be a lot of good footballers on show, a lot of talent. There are plenty of players that can hit different types of passes – diagonal passes, rapped balls into strikers – so So I think for a supporter that likes the tactical side of the game, I think it’s gonna be a really enjoyable watch. I don’t know if it’s gonna be super end-to-end, I think it’ll be a little bit more, little bit more chess than cat and mouse but with a lot of technique on show. 

“We’re playing against a team that finished in the play-offs last season in front of their home support, but why not come here and try and spoil the party and play our way? We don’t want to come here and just survive and sit in and be boring. We want to try and get after them and upset them.“

Yeovil Town boss Billy Rowley has returned to a more recognised starting XI as his side travel to Southend United in the National League on Saturday (12.30pm kick-off).

The Glovers has brought defender Jordan Norville-Williams and Archie Davies back in from the start along with midfielders Zain Westbrooke and Ryan Jones, the quartet started Monday’s 3-2 home win over Tamworth on the bench. There is no place for defender Ben Radcliffe in the squad after he went off early in the second half in the last game,

Defender Joe Gubbins and striker Slavi Spasov remain in the line-up as they make their first return to Root’s Hall since departing Southend to join the Glovers in the summer. In the hosts line-up, ex-Yeovil winger Lewys Twamley is in the starting XI with striker Promise Omochere, signed on a season-long loan from Bristol Rovers this week, on the bench.

Yeovil Town will travel to Essex on Saturday lunchtime as they take on Southend United in what should be an interesting affair against one of the most highly-fancied sides in the division.

FORM…

YEOVIL TOWN

The Glovers will be hoping to carry on their fine start to the season when they take on one of the division’s pre-season promotion favourites, Southend United, in Saturday’s National League lunchtime kick-off.It’s been an unbeaten start for the Glovers this season with three wins and two draws, the latter more highly-fancied opposition in Scunthorpe United and Carlisle United. It is the best start the club have made since the 1990-1991 season in the GM Vauxhall Conference and they actually went seven games unbeaten that year.

In their most recent fixture, Yeovil showed plenty of the class which has seen them make an impressive start to the season with some scintillating forward play in the 3-2 home win over Tamworth on Bank Holiday Monday.

Luke McCormick once again showed his class when opening the scoring, before Tamworth pegged the home side back through Jacob Hutchinson. It was in the second half when Yeovil really stepped up a gear and got their second through tricky winger Mason Obeng. Ryan Jones then rounded off the Glovers scoring exploits in the 66th minute, only for Kieren Donnelly to halve the deficit two minutes later. However, Yeovil held on to claim another three points.

SOUTHEND UNITED

The Shrimpers have not made a bad start to the new season have just a point fewer than Yeovil after the opening five games of the National League season.

One of the bookies’ favourites for promotion and just one defeat in their opening five means they are living up to this billing. The first three games looked somewhat easy for Southend as they dispatched both Altrincham and Solihull Moors away from home, whilst also beating Scunthorpe 1-0 at Root’s Hall.

It was over the recent August bank holiday weekend though that things got a bit tough for the Shrimpers, first losing 3-1 at home to Kidderminster on Friday night, then drawing 1-1 to Woking most recently. The last two games may have not been what the fans have expected but Kieron Dyer’s side will be looking to get back to winning ways on Saturday.

KEY PLAYERS…

YEOVIL TOWN – LUKE MCCORMICK

We’re five games into the season and I have already picked a player twice, and surprise, surprise it’s Captain McCormick. The midfielder leads by example, controls the game very well and seems to score goals for fun. Don’t get me wrong, without everyone else doing their jobs well, the 27-year-old wouldn’t be able to push forward like he does to grab goals.

Luke McCormick celebrates with Brett McGavin. Picture courtesy of Indy Pitman/Indy’s Visuals.

However, the former Bristol Rovers man is also the captain and that comes with a lot of responsibility. They have to lead the team, and he does that perfectly, he constantly directs the play, is not afraid to the dirty work and bosses people about when needed. That’s what you need in a midfielder in this league and a captain, someone who can grab the match by the scruff of its neck and not settle. One thing I can promise you is I won’t be choosing him next week even if he does score a hat-trick.

SOUTHEND UNITED – OLI COKER

It could be a very interesting battle at lunch time on Saturday in the middle of the park, with captain Oli Coker impressing so far this season for the Shrimpers. The 23-year-old has himself bagged two goals this season with one assist to go with it, but he like McCormick does the defending well too.

We’ll get on to his attacking in a minute, but for Coker he very much likes to sit on the right side of midfield for Southend, controlling the game from there and spreading the play. Looking at his long ball accuracy to date, the youngster has completed 52% he has tried, showing that he’s not worried to go long if needed.

It’s his attacking that needs to be looked at though, as he doesn’t seem to get into the opposition box as much as say McCormick but yet has scored twice already this season. With him focusing play in the right centre midfield channel, the battle between him and McCormick on Yeovil’s left could be where the game is won and lost.

THE GAFFER…

Kieron Dyer is one National League manager who needs little introduction to the average supporter. The former Newcastle United player took on his first frontline coaching role as he replaced Kevin Maher, the boss who was sacked just 48 hours after guiding the club to an FA Trophy win back in May – but crucially failing to win Southend promotion back to the League.

The 47-year-old has had plenty of experience as a coach prior to arriving in Essex having served under Paul Cook at League Two Chesterfield and previously at Ipswich Town, where he began his career as a player.

It is as a player that many will remember Dyer’s name however, first of all coming up through the ranks at Ipswich Town before being sold to Newcastle United for £6 million in 1999. It was during his eight-year spell in the North East that the former England international made a name for himself – and not always in a good way.

In what is now a very famous Premier League moment, Dyer found himself in a punch up with team-mate Lee Bowyer in a match against Aston Villa in 2005. With the two having to be separated by both sets of players, with both men receiving bans from the FA. Hopefully there will be no scraps on the touchline with Billy Rowley on Saturday!

This will be Dyer’s first game in charge against Yeovil.

LAST TIME WE MET…

The two teams last met in March after the fixture was rescheduled for the sides. It was a mild-ish Spring evening at Roots Hall, as the Glovers succumbed to a 2-1 defeat.

Goal-scoring full-back Gus Scott-Morriss, who left the Shrimpers to join Oldham Athletic in the summer, opened the scoring in the fourth minute before former captain Jake Wannell levelled just after an hour with an sumptuous strike. But, it was Southend who took the three points with Keenan Appiah-Forson nicking the winner with six minutes to go.

Jed Ward is helpless to keep out Gus Scott-Morriss’ opener back in March.

DON’T I KNOW YOU?

Remember Lewys Twamley? The Welsh winger signed from Merthyr Town midway through the 2024-25 season and looked half decent when given the chance?
Well, in what seems another Mark Cooper ‘disasterclass’, following his unceremonious release six months after arriving at Huish Park the 23-year-old headed back to Merthyr only to be picked up by Southend a year later having scored 16 goals in 46 appearances in National League North last season.
The 22-year-old made his first start under Kieron Dyer in the 1-1 draw at Woking on Monday having appeared off the substitutes’ bench a further three times.

Yeovil Town Women captain Laura Wensley is looking forward to leading the team out on Sunday at Huish Park, a stadium she has a close connection to.

The Glovers will start life in Tier 5 at home to Portishead Town after earning promotion as champions last season.

Yeovil-born Wensley supported her local team as a youngster, even featuring on the front page of the Western Gazette just before the new stadium opened.

“I’ve been to many games at Yeovil,” the midfielder explained. “I went to the FA Trophy Final at Villa Park. I went to the Play-Off Final at Wembley.

“I was actually on the pitch at Huish Park before it opened. There’s a picture of me on there with some other Yeovil fans when it was first opened. I must have been about six.

Laura can be seen in the middle, with Steven Lindegaard – brother of Andy – on her right

“There’s a big history between me and Yeovil, so it’s going to be good on Sunday. It’s gonna mean a lot, and a few of my family and friends will be there which will be nice. A nice header as well would be good!”

However, Wensley’s memories of Huish Park aren’t all positive, with the midfielder suffering a serious injury while playing there during her first spell as a Glovers player.

Redemption came more than a decade later when she finally got another opportunity to grace the hallowed turf – and the 7-1 demolition of W*ymouth made it well worth the wait.

“It’s not too bad now because I’ve played there since, but in 2013, I think we were playing against Leeds in the Premier League Cup and I broke my leg, tib and fib, in the middle of the game.

More than 600 fans turned up to watch the Glovers take on Leeds

“I was out for probably about a year, maybe. It was a frustrating time because we were doing really well, and then that year they got to the WSL (Women’s Super League) 2, so I missed out a little bit, which was disappointing.

“But we played W*ymouth last year on the pitch and I got through those 90 minutes, so at least this time I can just concentrate on the game rather than the emotions behind it – which will be better, I think. It will be good for me.”

A total of 298 fans witnessed that thumping win over our old rivals, and a big crowd on Sunday will likely be in for another enthralling clash.

“I think Yeovil have always been really good at getting behind the women’s team locally. There’s always been a lot of support for us.

“So it’s just about getting to Huish Park and getting that support in person more than anything else. Bring the kids along – I think it’s going to be an entertaining game!”

Tickets for Sunday’s curtain-raiser are just £5 for adults and £1 for under-16s and are available to buy online, with the ticket office also open on the day.

Yeovil Town striker Slavi Spasov has said his team-mates will not be getting carried away with their unbeaten start to the new National League season.

The Glovers picked up maximum points over the August Bank Holiday win courtesy of a 2-1 win at Barrow last Friday night and a 3-2 home win over Tamworth on Monday and are one of only three sides to not be defeated in their opening five fixtures.

Speaking to BBC Somerset reporter Jack Killah on Thursday, Spasov said: “Performance-wise we maybe could have been better in certain games because the first two games we let a lead slip both times, but we are not getting carried away because we know we are only five games in to the season.

“We know we are due some sort of adversity at some point and it is about how we react when that does come, so we are not getting carried away we are just looking forward to the next game and putting on another good performance.”

The next game takes the 24-year-old to familiar surroundings as he returns to Southend United, the club he joined Yeovil from in the summer. Spasov was not a regular starter for the Shrimpers last season but still managed seven goals in 28 appearances as they reached the division’s play-offs last season.

He said: “Because of what they have been through as a club is what makes it a special club, they are a tight knit group, the fans get right behind them and travel all over the country for away games and the stadium will be rocking when they are at home. I had a great season there last year and enjoyed my time there, but I felt it was the right time to move on. 

“We can expect them to start fast and expect the fans to get on top of you, but the rest of what I have told the boys I will keep quiet for the time being and see how it plays out on Saturday.”

Southend appointed former Newcastle United player Kieron Dyer followed the sacking of Kevin Maher, the boss who guided them to an FA Trophy win last season. Spasov only had a brief amount of time under the new boss before his move to Somerset.

He said: “I only spent a week or ten days with (Dyer) when he joined in the summer, so I am not too familiar with exactly how they will play. But we will do our analysis and see how we can counteract their strengths and impose our style of play.“
