Yeovil Town captain Jake Wannell has said that his side produced a performance of two halves against Boreham Wood, rallying late despite being down to ten men to nearly, come away with a point.
Speaking to BBC Radio Somerset’s Josh Perkins, he said the team didn’t show enough courage in first 45 minutes.
“Obviously, the feeling in the dressing room is disappointed. Two sloppy goals that we’ll have to look back on, but ultimately that’s cost us the three points or at least a point away from home.
I thought, it’s hard though because we conceded three goals, so it’s hard to look back at it and think you played well. But I think it was a game of two halves for us personally. I thought the first half we didn’t show enough courage, didn’t get on the ball enough like we planned to. Second half was much better, showed a lot of character and I was proud of the boys’ second half. I think they’ll even mention it that we come out a different team in the second half. We’ll look at the positives from the second half and try and take it into Saturday.”
Wannell opened the scoring for the Glovers with his first league goal of the season, but his defence took a blow when Kyle Ferguson was sent off for a second bookable offence in the second half;
“I can’t really remember [the goal]. I think it was just a little duel at the back post and then, but yeah, that one’s for my dad who I lost at the beginning of this season, so I hope he’s proud for that one.
I can’t remember [Ferguson’s] first [yellow card], but I think the second one wassoft, yeah. It’s at a crucial time in the game as well, which put us on the back foot, but I thought the boys galvanized themselves pretty well and we actually kicked on and I thought we could have probably nicked a point or maybe even three with JD’s effort at the end, but I think ultimately they were the stronger team over the 90 minutes.”
“We’ve played them twice now home and away and I think they’re a strong outfit. They’ve got some great patterns that are hard to deal with, so credit to them and we’ll have a day off tomorrow and then review it on Thursday and then Rochdale at home on Saturday.
Apart from the first half, that’s not a Yeovil performance. So, like I said in the press last week, I think Billy’s style and Daz’s style is starting to really come through now and I think the players are flourishing. It’s just more time.”
