Yeovil Town have made five changes from Tuesday night’s disastrous derby defeat to W*ymouth as they look to bounce back against Braintree Town in the National League Premier Division at Huish Park (3pm kick-off).
Coming in are Jake Wannell, who returns following a four-match suspension, full-back Michael Smith, captain Matt Worthington and on loan pair Exeter City defender Ed James and Bristol Rovers winger Kofi Shaw.
Out are Alex Whittle and James Plant, who both are not in the squad through injury, along with Finn Cousin-Dawson, Josh Sims and Frank Nouble, who are all named among the substitutes.
Dom Bernard, who is returning after a suspension following his sending off in the 4-0 defeat at York City a fortnight ago, also returns on the bench alongside teenager Ollie Hughes, who is part of the Glovers’ Under-18s.
Speaking after the midweek FA Trophy exit, manager Mark Cooper said he had to be “ruthless” and he’s certainly not disappointed.
