Despite picking up a useful point against Southampton in midweek, Yeovil Town still slipped into the League One relegation zone.
After their 1-1 draw with the Saints, Terry Skiverton has ordered his players to concentrate on stopping goals rather than dropping points. Prior to the Southampton clash, the Glovers had conceded 12 goals in four games, which, as a former defender, would have been particularly alarming to Skivo.
Last season Yeovil came away from the Bescot Stadium with all three points as they won 1-0 courtesy of a Sam Williams effort and a repeat result would be just the tonic for the Glovers at this moment in time.
On the playing front, Skivo was impressed with Luke Ayling's performance at right back and he believes the former Arsenal starlet can become a key member of the Yeovil side.
This week also saw loanee Rob Kiernan return to his parent club Watford, a move that will give Skiverton the option to bring in new face should he be required to.
Since our last Glovers' update, one of last season's crop of loan signings Steven Caulker has joined Bristol City on loan shortly after making his debut for parent club Spurs in the Carling Cup against Arsenal. The defender, who virtually swept the board at last season's Player of the Year awards, joins Spurs's other former Yeovil loanees currently continuing their footballing education in the Championship, including Ryan Mason, Jon Obika and Andros Townsend who are on loan with Doncaster Rovers, Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town respectively.
