Yeovil news

Yeovil Town manager Darren Way is hopeful that he will be going into Saturday's trip to Plymouth Argyle missing just one player in his first team squad. The Glovers have suffered for the second season running somewhat, with a series of injuries that have left them without players, with the older, more experienced players particularly missing from the match teamsheet for much of the season. Striker Francois Zoko has managed just two substitute appearances back in mid-August so far this season, whilst captain Darren Ward's game time was limited to just one substitute appearance until he made his comeback a couple of weeks ago.

With Zoko still missing, left-back Ryan Dickson out with an ankle injury recently, and Izale McLeod's more recent arrival at Huish Park interrupted within four games of his arrival with a knee problem, the number of absentees have been maintained. However, in the lead-up in the trip to Home Park, Way believes he only has one player that is now not quite ready to get on the team bus on the weekend:

After a difficult start to the 2016-17 Sky Bet League Two season Darren Way has had to temper his expectations for Yeovil Town this season.

Before the campaign had begun many of the players at Huish Park were targeting a playoff finish and possibly even better, and an opening day victory over Notts County seemed to support those predictions.

Now ten matches into the new term and things look a little different, with the Glovers down in 20th position with ten points from their opening fixtures and Way has given a new challenge to his players.

"We know where we are as a group and what we are trying to get this year is get above mid-table," the Yeovil manager said.

"That's the aim and objective and as we stand right now we're not too far away from that.

"We've only set that over the last couple of weeks because I think when you are in ten games it gives you a good gauge of where you are.

"If you set your targets too high and you don't reach them it can almost deflate the group."

Argyle news

Not much news coming out of Home Park, No new injuries as been reported, Hoping Paul-Arnold Garita will take some part in Saturday game.

Arnold Garita's unpredictably has been praised by manager Derek Adams,

Garita, 21 could be fit enough to return to the squad for Saturday's game with Yeovil, having limped out of this month's derby with Exeter after scoring one goal and making a second.

He's a good option to have in the squad.

Derek Adams expecting Plymouth Argyle to face a 'fired up' Yeovil

Adams has admitted that when Plymouth Argyle play Yeovil Town there is a 'derby' atmosphere about the game.

That is despite there being a distance of 90 miles between the two West Country clubs.

Adams had his first experience of a game against Yeovil when Argyle beat them 1-0 in front of nearly 13,000 fans at Home Park on Boxing Day last season.

Then in the return match at Huish Park, which was rearranged after a waterlogged pitch on the original date, battling Yeovil tore into the visitors from the off.

It took a fine defensive rearguard from Argyle to ensure they came away with a hard-earned point from a 0-0 draw.

Hope to see the new badges out in force


(information from websites)

Think I will come along and top up Jimmy's pension pot a bit more tomorrow.
Always liked Yeovil as a club, the nice scenario tomorrow is that if we lose then we still top the table.
Imagine if we win tomorrow then the eternally grateful will be coming in their pants at the thought of the reluctant one saving argo.

Argyle to win by 3-0, a fitting way to round off the week.

3+

Fair play to Adams on with nine the MOTM, should make for a good debate.
I am considering popping along tomorrow, as not seen a league of game yet.

Knowing my luck, i will go along and Argyle will lose   There is the curse of the MOTM, so they could well do. Hopefully not though.

One or two stats on Yeovil Town.

Most goals.- Tom Eaves 5

Most fouls - Tom Eaves 34

Argo 0-2 Glovers

Freathy, if all you predictions had come off, we'd be in the Devon and Exeter League by now.

Mine and the Junior DRF's first game of the season too.
If we lose, then i'm going to say you are the jinx!

I'm there with Homeslice junior and one of his classmates, so I'll probably need an extra twenty quid or so to cover their world-class ability to eat pasties and chocolate and consume bottled pop.

Will look out for the DRF - will you be in your Looe Festival suit ( as seen in today's Cornish Times)?

Paying twenty two quid to watch Argo play Yoventus at the Brentihad is an offer i can refuse.

A good size crowd according to the on line tickets sales

Weather will affect POTD.

1-0

2-0 jervis

2-1
Brent out

Equaliser only a matter of time. Desparately hanging on for the draw is the best we can hope for

3 - 1 Carey
