TALKING YEOVIL #10

The 2010-11 season could yet have many more twists and turns for Yeovil Town.

After a run of five matches unbeaten, which included three wins and five clean sheets, the Glovers suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of in form Rochdale at Huish Park on Saturday.

That loss saw them drop one place in the table because of results elsewhere.

In his post match interview, Yeovil boss Terry Skiverton revealed that he put two signs on the Glovers’ dressing room wall, A & B.

A, he revealed, was a question mark asking how far they could go this season and B was jagged, windy road which would get them to where they wanted to be, out of the bottom four.

With 26 points to their name, Yeovil will need to double that tally to secure their League One status outright. No team has ever been relegated from League One with 52 points.

Earlier in the season, Skiverton drew parallels with Exeter City, managed by his one-time Glovers team-mate Paul Tisdale, who stayed up last season on the final day with a win over Huddersfield Town.

The way the season has gone in League One so far, Yeovil could yet find themselves in the similar scenario.

After all, they are only 13 points of the Play-Off zone.
