Title: Yeovil Match Thread
Post by: robininstockport on May 20, 2021, 09:50:34 AM
Time to put in a decent showing  (especially 1st half).


                  Thompson

Senior    Mularkey   Hannigan   Hampson
 
      Smith   Moult   Kirby

 Kosylo   Hancock   Colclough

Big ask for all injured players to return but I live in hope.

Really hope this ongoing ticket situation gets sorted and we can get 1000+ into the ground.

Alty 2-1 Yeovil (Hancock, Colclough)

Hope to witness it in the flesh

I hope u are right and all our fit... if so i'd go with your team above... however, if Hampson, Hannigan, Zouma, & Sutton all still unfit then think team maybe...

                   Thompson
Senior   Mullarkey   Moult   Ogle
      Richman   Smith   Kirby
    Kosylo   Hancock   Colclough

Subs- Gould, Dens, Hardy, Williams, Peers

NB personally rather Richman ahead of Williams...

Score Prediction: ALTY 2-1 win (Kosylo & Colclough)...

Would have gone for 1-1 draw but hoping fans return will cheer lads onto a win... COYR!

I really think we'll win, if we can go with the team at the top of the thread. That's a decent 11 (and more or less all our decent players).

I’d be surprised if the pitch was any worse than the first home match of the season when we played on a waterpark. If both teams want to play and the referee is as accommodating as the one v Weymouth I think they’ll press on and get it played even if conditions are far from ideal. If by the time we’ve played Torquay the pitch is ruined it’s of no consequence because it’s the last we'll see of that surface.

I think player safety would be the only reason the game would be called off at this late stage.

Yes, would be nice if club confirms game on after two days of rain... i think it must be...

I believe even if game may normally have been postponed may be played as no real dates to re-arrange unless look at Thursday as league must end next weekend...

Meant to be dry mostly today & could just put load of sand on dodgy corner near Gold Rd & new Fanzone area... if pitch gets wrecked over next three games it doesn't really matter as new surface going down in summer... plus can't be too bad if played 5-a-side tournament on part of it on Thurs in the rain... also after Bill went through all that hassle with tickets surely it wont be postponed... plus Yeovil must have set off by now... surely must be on...

I've been quite impressed with Ogle so far today, a real step up from previous times I've seen him play.

Fingers crossed that we keep it going and secure the three points!  :)

What a boring game.😱
It was great to be back and fantastic game. Forget the defensive frailties. You score three we’ll score four! What a great day out. We miss Tom Hannigan or even Sutton or Zouma. Centre back is a specialist position. Enough of that, the plusses were numerous. Colclough looks even better than on the telly. More positives today than negatives. Roll on Tuesday. Just a pity next Saturday is it until July.

Woeful at the back for their second two. Some communication issues for sure.

However, being able to watch the lads in person and see them rally in the last 20 mins was a real, real joy.

I’ve missed the footy this last year.

Also, thought the stewards did a great job. Props to them.

Edit: Senior put in a great shift

My God, I've missed these roller-coaster rides ! We could easily have been two down  before we scored, conceded three in 17 minutes to lose the lead we'd worked so hard for, then had the sheer determination to come back and win it.

Very impressed with Kirby and Mooney, and while the ref was pretty good, she could easily have shown Kosylo red for that really poor challenge that saw their guy stretchered off.

It's good to back !

Post by: robininstockport on May 22, 2021, 06:09:58 PM
Firstly thank you to everyone who helped in getting the game on and fans in. Great to be back.

Even though I don't like Hancock in that role, we look a better with 11 actual footballers on the pitch. Effective as Yeovils' style of play is, it's a dreadful watch. So a victory for football.

Can't fault any player, but we do concede some chronic goals, 2 of the 3 toady were woeful.

To score 2 in the last 15 mins shows a bit of bollox.

My mom was Senior (despite not scoring the sitter)

Trying to summarise that game would be almost impossible, but I'll give it a go!
Two factors. Firstly, their realisation that hoof ball would be effective against a team playing with one young centre back. To be fair to them, they exploited it superbly with the brilliant Quigley (the player we are SO missing).
Second, was our realisation that they had absolutely no full backs (are their regular two injured, or were they just asleep?) Either way, it made Ogle, Senior, Mooney and Colclough look world class.
Luckily, the better footballing team won in the end.
The last thing is, IT WAS BLOODY WONDERFUL TO BE BACK - THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THAT!!!

One of their regular full-backs (Wilkinson) was suspended after being sent off against Maidenhead United last Tuesday.

I had a chat with the lady from Radio Somerset at half-time and she confirmed that they were missing seven or eight key players owing to injuries. Their commentary team described the Yeovil defence as being "makeshift".

Colclough certainly made them pay, regardless.

Huge thanks to everyone at the club, all the stewards etc. for facilitating the return of spectators.

I've never been so pleased to be unable to see a Golf Road End corner flag again....

Great win in the end... what a game... yes, some dodgy defending at times but hey a 4-3 win with an injury time winner infront of the returning fans... happy dayz!

Roll on Tues... it's great for us fans to be back... COYR!  :)

Hope the lad stretched off makes a speedy recover talking to one of the stewards at the end of the game it was confirmed as a broken leg.
Great to here the Golf road in fine voice enjoyed the game but lots need sorting in and out if we are to put a serious challenge in next season by serious i mean the play offs.

Great to be back. At 3-3 I thought the result would be a fair result, however, Alty grabbing the winner in the dying minutes put the icing on the cake.
Colclough Senior and Ogle were my top three .

I thought the pitch held up well.
See you on Tuesday. 7-00pm kick off..

Onwards & Upwards.

Loved the game and agree completely with the experience of the day - fantastic. With the comments of players looking better in real life , Smith was great in midfield really controlled the game.  Also superb from Parky for the timings of the subs, as soon as we got the fresh legs on we looked great again

Great game and day out, fantastic to see the fans back. We win that 3/4-1 with Hannigan in defence and Moult in his usual position. I really hope that late winner was one of those 'turning point' moments and we can kick on from here. Tightened up in the right areas, with a bit of added quality from another summer of good recruitment, and we can kick on next season.

Only small gripe was the overly abusive heckling of the Yeovil keeper. I'm no stranger to having a bit of a pop at a player but that was seriously tedious and as mardy as it'll sound, it went into the realms of verbal abuse for me. What I've always loved about the Golf Road End is you'll get an intelligent quip or heckle shouted at a player that deserves it. Continually shouting nonce and paedo at the keeper is very basic and not what we should be about. Happy to put it down to first-game-back day out mentality but if that's going to be the norm next season I'll be really disappointed.

Sad to hear such stories as no place for that sort of heckling... as you say, good to have bit of banter or a little pop here & there, but above is a step too far... thankfully didn't notice any similar heckling from Chequeres End where i was...

It was a great day, great result, & brilliant to have fans back... that's what i'll remember about the game... COYR!

I wasn't stood behind the goal and didn't participate in or condone any abuse of the keeper, but in fairness, with his antics he hardly helped himself. Gesturing at the fans and yelling, '"I'm loving it' when they went 3 2 up was hardly endearing himself to them, was it?

He got dogs abuse from the moment he jogged towards the goal for the start of the second half. I agree he did nothing but encourage it but he was well within his rights to give a bit back, especially at the point of going 3-2 up! I'd have been doing a knee slide and all sorts.

He got some general light hearted banter and stick from the Chequers and engaged with it.....anything else over and above this and constant verbal abuse of an unsavoury nature is not on and is an embarrasment to the club....he is just a fella doing his job which is being a goal keeper

Calling him a see you next Tuesday every other minute. Calling him a peado, asking if he touches up children.

All unecessary, I'd rather we were a bit smarter and quicker witted than that, or just sang. It was loud for 200 people on that terrace.

The heckling of the goalkeeper, encouraged non regulars to join in, when they were shouted down, it ended very unsavoury in an assault after the game had finished.

If you dish it out, you've got to be able to take it back. However, calling him a paedo shows a distinct lack of class. I remember being uncomfortable when Alty fans referred to a short Chester player as a  'dwarf-midgit' a few years ago. There has to be a line really.
