Captain Matt Worthington paid tribute to Yeovil Town’s substitutes for helping them secure three points with a 3-1 home win over Braintree Town today.
The Glovers made five changes to their starting XI from the FA Trophy exit at the hands of local rivals W*ymouth in midweek, but made five changes in the second half when they scored two goals to seal victory.
Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Jack Killah, the skipper said: “The season is going to take everyone in the squad and (the substitutes) all made a massive difference. Dylan Morgan did well to set up Brett’s (McGavin) goal at the end, Frank (Nouble) was a threat when he came on, but it is going to take all of us to achieve with what we want to this season.”
The Glovers had to come from 1-0 down when John Akinde put the visitors ahead after 15 minutes before Aaron Jarvis levelled just before the half-hour mark to go in level at the break.
They brought on striker Frank Nouble and defender Finn-Cousin Dawson before on loan Exeter City defender Ed James put them ahead on the hour. Dylan Morgan and Josh Sims then came on with Morgan’s surging run setting up Brett McGavin’s third goal in second half injury time.
On the performance, Worthy added: “We had to dig in, I thought they played well. It was tough, the pitch was chewed up a little bit and it was tough to get our momentum with the ball. We knew that whatever it took to get a result after Tuesday, so overall we were just pleased to get the win.
“It was a tough week after Tuesday, a few people said some things that needed to be said. It was a massive game and we were really disappointed with it. We looked back at it and and saw the reasons why we lost, so today was about putting on a gritty, tough performance.”
