FORTRESS HUISH PARK

Following their victory over Brentford on Saturday, Yeovil Town now find themselves three points clear of the League One relegation zone.

The Glovers currently lie 17th in the table with 36 points and, since the return of Gary Johnson to Huish Park hot seat on January 9th 2012, and now have survival firmly in their sights.

There is a saying that you should never go back, but after spells with Bristol City, Peterborough and Northampton, Johnson has returned to the club where he made his name as a manager and is reaping the benefits of his decision.

One pleasing aspect of Yeovil's form since the turn of the year has been their 100% home record. This sequence has included wins over Tranmere Rovers, Preston North End, Colchester United and Brentford.

Another is the form of striker Andy Williams who has scored seven of his 12 goals for Yeovil this season since Johnson's return.

With Scunthorpe, Walsall, Hartlepool, Rochdale, Stevenage and Chesterfield all to visit Huish Park between now and the end of the campaign, the Glovers have a real chance of maintaining their impressive home form and cement their League One status before we reach May.
