New signing Michael Smith is handed his debut for the Glovers starting at Right Back in the FA Cup 2nd Qualifying Round Tie against AFC Stoneham.

Jordan Stevens also makes his first competitive start of the campaign, alongside in form Frank Nouble and Jordan Young in attack.

With seven Subs available to be named in this competition, the bench is made up of everyone who is left, really!

The only two absentees are Jamie Sendles-White and Morgan Williams, both with slight injuries.

 

Yeovil Town make two changes from the midweek win at Weston-super-Mare as they look to maintain their unbeaten home start to the season against Eastbourne Borough at Huish Park (3pm kick-off).

Sonny Blu Lo-Everton, who was not involved on Tuesday night, comes in for striker Rhys Murphy whilst on-loan Bristol City full-back Zac Bell comes in for Jamie Sendles-White on the right side of defence.

Murphy is on the substitutes’ bench alongside Charlie Cooper who returns after a one-match suspension which saw him miss the all-Somerset clash.

For the visitors, teenage striker Zak Emmerson, who joined on loan during the week from League One Blackpool during the week, is named on the bench alongside ex-Swindon Town midfielder Yaser Kasim, who played under Glovers’ boss Mark Cooper at the County Ground.

Substitutes: Charlie Cooper, Jordan Maguire-Drew, Jordan Stevens, Rhys Murphy, Jake Hyde.

Eastbourne Borough: Ben Dudzinski, Scott Leslie, Archie Proctor, Brad Barry, Jack Paxman, Decarrey Sheriff, Imran Uche, Freddie Carter, Fletcher Holman, Leone Gravata, Sam Beard. Substitutes: Daniel Quick, Jay Beckford, Yaser Kasim, Zak Emmerson, Billy Vigar.

Yeovil Town make four changes from the weekend’s 1-1 draw with Chelmsford City as they take on Weston-super-Mare at Winterstoke Road tonight (7.45pm kick-off).

Matt Worthington returns in midfielder  having missed out through injury while Josh Owers is handed his first start since joining the club permanently in the summer. He replaces the suspended Charlie Cooper.

Up front Rhys Murphy comes in for Jake Hyde who is not among the substitutes and Jamie Sendles-White replaces Zac Bell in defence.

For the home side, ex-Glovers’ striker Reuben Reid starts up front.

 

Weston-super-Mare: Luke Purnell, Keith Thomas, Jason Pope, James Morton, Lloyd Humphries, Sam Avery, James Dodd, Marlon Jackson, Dayle Grubb (c), Jordan Bastin, Reuben Reid. 

Substitutes: Jamie Soule, Harry Lee, Ed James, Jay Murray, Bailey Kempster.

 

Yeovil Town’s new Goalkeeper Joe Day has been handed his debut for the Glovers with returns to the starting XI for both Jake Hyde and Josh Staunton in what we *think* is a flat back four, with a midfield diamond… 

Matt Worthington misses out, Jordan Stevens is on the bench. 

 

 

Frank Nouble and Olly Thomas have been handed starts for today’s visit to Havant & Waterlooville today (3pm kick-off).

The pair came off the bench for the 2-0 home win over Tonbridge Angels at the weekend with Nouble scoring a late second to seal the victory.

There are also recalls for Jordan Maguire-Drew, an unused substitute on Saturday, and defender Jamie Sendles-White, who is in a back four in place of captain Josh Staunton, who is unable to play due to Havant’s artificial surface.

 

 

Yeovil Town have made three changes for the visit of Tonbridge Angels to Huish Park this afternoon (3pm kick-off).

Sonny Blu Lo-Everton is brought in for his first appearances of the season alongside Jordan Young as part of a midfield diamond, whilst Rhys Murphy is recalled up front having come off the bench to grab a late equaliser in the 1-1 draw with Maidstone United last weekend.

We understand that Young, who is making his first start of the campaign having impressed coming off the bench, will spearhead the diamond supported by Lo-Everton, Matt Worthington and Charlie Cooper.

Jordan Maguire-Drew and Frank Nouble both drop to the bench having started last weekend’s 1-1 draw with Maidstone United whilst there is no place for Jamie Sendles-White in the matchday squad.

 

Goalkeeper Grant Smith returns to the Yeovil Town starting line-up for the final home game of the season against Oldham Athletic (3pm kick-off).

We understand that his understudy Will Buse, who impressed despite conceding three goals at league leaders Wrexham on Tuesday night, is out with a broken finger.

The other changes see Chiori Johnson come in for the injured Owen Bevan, loanee Jack Clarke replaces Scott Pollock in midfield and striker Malachi Linton is in for Zanda Siziba.

Siziba and Pollock are among only four substitutes named on the bench alongside Max Hunt and Jordan Young.

 

Yeovil Town have named an attacking line-up for their trip to National League leaders Wrexham (7.45pm kick-off).

Striker Reo Griffiths and winger Zanda Siziba are both in the starting XI after impressing in last weekend’s 2-2 draw at Solihull Moors, in place of Jordan Maguire-Drew and Jordan Young.

The other changes see Scott Pollock and Andrew Oluwabori come in for Malachi Linton and Max Hunt. Young, Linton and Hunt are all named on the bench.

 

On loan goalkeeper Will Buse is handed his first National League start of the season as Yeovil Town take on Solihull Moors today (3pm kick-off).

The Bristol City stopper replaced number one Grant Smith who drops to the bench.

Up front Jordan Young comes in place of Scott Pollock, who is named among the substitutes, and Max Hunt is in for the suspended Chiori Johnson, who was red carded in the 1-0 home defeat to Dorking Wanderers last time out.
