Another trip west on Saturday and another chance to be disappointed. After the way we played against Wrexham and Notts County, it would be good to see us giving it a go following the insipid performances against Aldershot and Torquay. Yeovil will certainly be looking forward to playing us and improving their goal difference! Could be that George's plan at Torquay was first and foremost a clean sheet, but given where we are, why not go down having a go? Whether you lose 1-0 or 3-2, it's still a loss. Aldershot, Torquay, Yeovil, Oldham, Eastleigh, Gateshead, Scunthorpe. Not that long ago, many of us were looking at 14 points plus from that run. Now, not sure where the next one is coming from...

I disagree with you Jdl. Yes we are fucked in respect of staying up but disastrous runs come to an end eventually. Nine straight defeats counts as disastrous and I'm gonna stick by us to end it on Saturday with a good away win at Yeovil,so get yerself some cider and start singing🎼 I am a cider drinker,I drinks it all of the day.I am a Stones supporter and were going to beat Yeovil today,ooo ar ooo ar ay, ooo ar ooo ar ay🎼

For us to have a chance Jack Barham needs to score from one of those early opportunities that always seem to come his way. As for "doom and gloom", it is hard to be anything else given our current form, the lack of investment, Ellul leaving, inexperienced caretaker manager, plus the fact that Yeovil have only last once in their last seven games. Need I go on? Yes we could win - and nobody will be more pleased than me if we do do, but really? If being upbeat and jolly about it made a difference, I'd certainly do it, but I can't see us winning anything at the moment, so reserve the right to be pissed off about it.

Scunthorpe lost their game in hand last night, so a win at Yeovil would actually lift us off the bottom this afternoon. Then just need Oldham to lose their four games in hand and the great escape will be on.

Yeovil are terrible, they're making us look like a decent team.

Yeovil are terrible, they're making us look like a decent team. Maidstone are a decent team. They are playing all the right players, but not necessarily in the right order. God bless you Eric and Ern.

Loud boos from the Yeovil fans at the half time whistle

Decided I would spent the first part of the afternoon in the garden and then watch the rugby. So far, it seems to be going fairly well. Alternatively, George is playing the BBC Sport line up which has Fowler, Corne, Deacon and Booty in the back four, then Barham, BW, Bone and Jobe in midfield with Lawson and Cawley up front. As usual this season the keeper is the only position they have got right - or maybe not today???

I thought Barden was out for the rest of the season - and/or recalled by his parent club because we'd broken him?
Or was this another of the 'phantom' GK injuries that we seem to have had so many of this season...

Something wrong with FWP - they've got us as 1-0!

Well Yeovil score
Could see that coming a mile off, we're sitting back way too much in the second half.

Something wrong with FWP - they've got us as 1-0! Correction - they've amended it to 1-1... Correction (again) 1-2 OG. f**k, f**k, f**k - what happens when you start to believe.... George is using Hak's pointless subs approach.
