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!  :)

Hmmm...

Never doubted the lads for a moment! 🙄😜😂😂
Come on you Supers!
Couldn't go today as it was the first birthday of my twin grandchildren.
That's two goals for each of them! ✌️✌️🎂😊😊🎊

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 !

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.

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....

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
