In amongst all the madness at Yeovil Town this weekend, there’s a football match at Huish Park today with the visit of table topping Stockport County.

Charlie Wakefield misses out through illness meaning on loan forward Josh Neufville comes back in to the starting XI line up alongside Tom Knowles  either side of Reuben Reid in attack.

Middlesbrough loanee defender Jack Robinson returns to the substitutes’ bench, as does goalkeeper Max Evans following the departure of Olufela Olomola after he was recalled by Hartlepool United on Friday.

There is a return for central defender Max Hunt who is named on the substitutes’ bench against one of his former clubs.

For the visitors, on loan Stockport County keeper Ethan Ross returns in place of Ryan Hall, who put in a man of the match performance in the win over Boreham Wood last weekend.

Charlie Lee has named his first starting XI as interim manager and has made a grand total of… zero changes.

Hardly surprising given the Glovers are on a three match winning streak though.

There’s no return to the squad for any of the injured cohort with Grant Smith, Max Hunt and Jack Robinson continuing their comeback.

The only alteration sees Josh Staunton miss out on the squad after having a scan in midweek on a hernia problem, Sonny Blu Lo Everton is back among the subs.

Team in full.
