Match-winner Morgan Williams spoke to BBC Somerset following the 1-0 win at Braintree Town and the defender said the opening win of the season would help Yeovil Town ‘kick on’.
Williams said: “[I’m] absolutely delighted, obviously, to get off the mark now with a win, it’s perfect really. Normally that’s in your head like every week thinking ‘when we’re going to get our first win’ and we’ve got it now so we can really kick on for players.”
When asked if getting that first win played on his mind, he said: “100%. I think every footballer would say that you want to always get off to a winning start [on the] first game of the season. We obviously didn’t do that and it’s kind of like ‘when are we gonna when are we gonna get that first win’ and absolutely delighted to get that first win now in our second game. And [my] first goal as well.”
The Glovers improved after the half-time break and he told BBC Somerset reporter Josh Perkins that managed wanted his team to express themselves more.
“He just said we just needed more quality in the final third, just everywhere really. We were a bit hesitant and a bit, maybe nervous with a few of our passes. The gaffer gives us so much freedom to kind of play, especially the front boys to have that freedom and play freely. So he just wanted us to really express ourselves because he knows that we’re a good team, good players and we’ve got players like Frank, Jarv, Youngy, players off the bench as well that come on are explosive and exciting to watch and he just wants us to really express that and go and win games.”
Job done, on to Ebbsfleet at Huish Park on Tuesday night!
