Yeovil Town captain Matt Worthington has said there will be no excuses from his side as the Glovers lost 1-0 at home to Solihull Moors on Tuesday.
A single first half goal from Conor Wilkinson was all that separated the sides in a game where the home side did not register a shot on target despite having two efforts off the woodwork.
Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Mark Stillman after the match, Worthington said:
“It was difficult, I don’t think we really got going, we looked lethargic and quite slow I’d say.
“It’s disappointing, off the back of two wins we were full of confidence and to lose the way we did, at home, it’s disappointing.”
Yeovil did have the ball in the back of the net late on, a Jake Wannell header from a Charlie Cooper free-kick was deemed to have come from an offside position.
The skipper wasn’t convinced that was the right call, he said: “I thought it was onside, a few times the lino didn’t really put his flag up, so the ref made the decision. It went against us, it was frustrating, we have to move on.”
“No excuses from us, we should have been better and we’ll look to turn it around on Saturday.”
The Glovers have now lost three of the four National League Premier Division games at Huish Park this season and supporters were audibly frustrated throughout.
The captain said: “It’s difficult, a few boos coming in at half-time, as players we need to feed off the fans really, but then again, if we put in a performance where we’re not at it, not creating enough chances, it’s hard for them to really get behind us, it’s a disappointing night all round, but we’ll look to bounce back on the weekend.
“There’s no excuses from us, obviously there’s been a lot of travelling, it was a game on Saturday where we had to chuck everything at it, really, so it took a lot out of the lads, and maybe that’s a factor why we looked leggy and lethargic today, no excuses from us, we should have been better and we’ll look to turn it around on Saturday. “
The Glovers are back in front of the Huish Park faithful on Saturday when Altrincham make the trip to Somerset, a chance to put Tuesday’s performance right, says Worthy.
“Every game is tough, there’s going to be no easy games in this league, we just have to prepare right, rest up and get ready to put a performance on Saturday.”
I didn’t get why some of the fans booed. We weren’t at our best again, perhaps due to a quick turn-round, but we certainly didn’t deserve to be booed.
I was glad to see Morgan Williams back playing in the second half. The backline looked more solid with him in it.
As for Jake Wannel’s disallowed goal, the lino was right, Wannel was offside. I was in a good position and I took a video and Jake certainly looks offside to me.
“No excuses from us”.
Then gives an excuse in the next sentence about travelling.
“No excuses from us…apart from this one”.
