TALKING YEOVIL #16

At the turn of the year, Yeovil Town found themselves in the League One relegation zone and it seemed as though their stay in the third tier of English football was going to come to an end after six years.

However, after making a number of astute loan signings during January and adding a few more experienced permanent signings, Terry Skiverton has steered the Glovers away from the drop zone.

They currently lie in 18th place in League One and the possibility of equalling or bettering last season's 15th place finish is now a realistic possibility.

Planning for next season is already under way with Skivo announcing that he already has in mind which players he wants to offer contracts to. He has also announced that he is interested in securing the services of on loan Manchester City winger Andrew Tutte, after the young wide man scored his first goal for Yeovil on Easter Monday against Peterborough United.

It was the second time in three days that the Glovers had picked up points against a top six side after Shaun MacDonald scored a dramatic late leveller against Bournemouth.

If Yeovil can take that form into the 2011-12 campaign, they could turn out to be a force to be reckoned with.
