Yeovil Town’s Jordan Barnett was on media duty ahead of the game against Dover and said that the team spirit and bond with the supporters was the key to this recent run of good form.

“It’s been really, really good, it’s been a great experience for me being in the team, going unbeaten in seven game, it’s really good”

“Every single man in the team has done absolutely brilliantly and we can’t fault any single player”

The former Oldham and Notts County full back said that he was probably in the best form of his own career and was enjoying playing either as a left-back or further forward.

When asked what he put that run down to, he kept it simple – by announcing his love for all thing YTFC!

“I’m really loving Yeovil, it’s a club that should be in the Championship, the fans are absolutely unbelievable, they travel everywhere. I remember Stockport, that was a brilliant game they travelled five hours, and on Tuesday night (at Bromley) that was unbelievable, I’m loving every single minute of it.”

“We’ve got a great spirit in the changing room, on and off the pitch, it’s absolutely brilliant, all the lads love each other and work hard for each other.”

“Even the finishers who come on the pitch for the last 15 minutes, every single player, they’re all for the club”

Barnett promised there would be no complacency in the build up to the Dover game despite their lowly position with him promising the side are taking things one game at a time – but admitted there was a goal in mind for the end of the season.

“The Play-Offs is what we should be aiming for, I think we can achieve that if we carry on as we are, I think it’ll definitely (!!) happen if every single player is fit. I think we will end up reaching the play offs, but we need to keep working hard”

The National League Play-Off Final is currently scheduled for Sunday 5th June 2022… in case you wanted to book the day off work.

Yeovil Town manager Darren Sarll talks to BBC Radio Somerset

Yeovil Town manager Darren Sarll, spoke to the media ahead of the Glovers’ home game vs Dover and talked of the ‘respect’ he has for his opposite number, and that despite the difference in form, Yeovil wont be caught lacking.

“No ,these won’t be complacent, my group won’t be complacent, we know exactly where we are and what we have to do, we know exactly what we’re good at and what we need to get better at… we need to ensure we prepare as we have done all the time, with diligence, with professionalism, with respect”

 

Dover are currently winless in the league this season and crashed out of the FA Cup to Yate Town following a replay.

They remain on -9 points having only picked up three draws all season. Despite the ten places and 33-point gap in the table, Sarll will be making sure his side are ready for the challenge.

“I have massive respect for (Dover Manager) Andy Hessenthaler, a brilliant, brilliant player, we shared a mentor type figure in the brilliant Glenn Roeder, you can never take anything easy against an Andy Hennenthaler team, it’s not in his charachter.

We need to be fully prepared, highly motivated, we’re obviously in good form, there’s no denying that and we need to make sure our form stretches at least one more game”
