Yeovil Build Up

Recommended Posts

I watched Yeovil on Saturday and they lost 3-1. They played a 4-(1)-4-(1)-1 formation - the brackets indicate their playmaker Gavin Willams who has licence to roam and get the ball and run with it.

 

As was the case last year, most of their forward play came either down the left hand side or through Williams.

Other danger players are Smith (LB) and Welsh (ML). Their lone striker on Saturday Dean Bowditch looked lively, as did the second striker, targetman Sam Williams (who scored) when he came on as sub.

 

Tuesday may see the team switch to 4-4-2, but it would appear Yeovil's captain and right back may be injured at present.

He certainly didn't play on Saturday, which meant Adam Virgo played there and he looked very shaky - if Puncheon gets at him, he'll have a lot of joy.

 

Two words of caution - Andy Williams. Remember Bristol Rovers at home last season..........

Cautiously optimistic. We've been steadily improving in terms of both performance and results since Adkins took over.

 

Our last 5 games

 

0-3

0-2

0-1

0-0

1-0

 

Based on that logic, I'm going with a 3-1 retro style win.

 

You missed the loss at MK Dons from that list! I'm having trouble calling this one, obviously we'll be buoyed on from the win at Sheffield, but then it's Saints, and it'd be totally like us to send that good work down the drain! Last year was one of the best away games I've been to, hoping this one lives up to that. Head 2-2 draw, heart 3-1 win.

2-0 to Saints is the logical result in the sequence. But it will be a frustrating night as Yeovil park the tractor and their keeper pulls off a series of world class saves in his best performance of the season. Two late goals to win it for Saints.

 

What at home? In general we've done better away from SMS as teams try to play at home rather than playing for the draw so Saints to win 2-0. Lamberts got to get going at some point this season.

If anything, with our goals conceded record going down, and the goals scored starting up, it'll be 2-0. Leaving a lovely symmetrical 3-0 win against Bournemouth on Saturday.

If Lallana starts we'll create a lot. Such an important player now. Rather see him start and play an hour that come on when we're struggling. Chamberlain might be better off the bench this time. Like to see them both start against our little Bournemouth friends though.

 

Nigel said in his post match interview on saturday that Adam is no where near fit enough to start yet several games of the pace at the moment. More likely Adam may get 20mins at the end to help build his fitness or as a last roll of the dice if things aren't going well. I imagine the team will remain unchanged from saturday.

I think we should play this vs Yeovil;

 

--------------------Davis---------------------

Butterfield-------Jaidi-----Seabourne---Harding

Guly-----Schneiderlin-----Hammond-----Holmes

-------------Lambert-----Barnard-------------

 

Subs: Bart, Martin, Dickson, Wotton, Chamberlain, Connolly, Puncheon

I'll be pedantic and say again what was ignored in my earlier post, that chain of results is missing the 2-0 defeat at MK Dons after the 1-0 defeat at Swindon.

Did you allow for dodgy pitch syndrome?

- Guly is not a wide player really. Puncheon although frustrating at times is still very dangerous at this level.

- Who is Seabourne?

- Fonte will be back.
