NL: Yeovil Town v Torquay Utd 3.00pm 26th December 2019

FT 6-2. Not sure where we go from here....major changes needed in January.

BBC saying only Hall and Whitfield should be spared the hairdryer. Not sure what good the hairdryer will do with this lot now, though. They are shot to bits and there needs to be considerable movement out and in.

Cundy, Medford-Smith, Bansal-McNulty, MacDonald and Edwards should be the first to see the exit door.

He doesn’t fancy Keating, so he can go, too. As can Koszela and Slough out on loan. If he doesn’t fancy Lewis as a centre-back, he may as well go, too. As he is no left back.

A Number 1 and a Number 5 need signing. A decent left back in until the much missed Davis returns - that will be a difficult one to recruit.

Janneh is as good as gone and Reid and his agent may feel now is the right time to step off this wave, so a decent centre forward or two, too.

Pack shuffling for the New Year. Let’s just hope we can pick some points up before then. Hopefully Woking are out of sorts on Saturday.

I wouldn’t dispense of Johnson's services as we won’t get any better.

It was shambolic defending once again with crosses our main undoing although James lost the ball twice to give away two goals and in our fragile state you cannot give away gimmes like that.

The first goal we conceded early on stemmed from a freekick in the Yeovil half that look to all intents and purposes like the Yeovil player had hand balled it but hey ho, Allison saw it differently. It was taken short and the ball was intercepted by James who tried to run it clear but was dispossessed and their player was able to take it deep into our area and knock it back for an easy shot to score from 10 yards out.

Within 10 minutes we had let another two in. A cross from Yeovil’s left to the far post was headed in, reminiscent of the Chesterfield match and a corner also from Yeovil’s left was neatly headed in. We still looked very suspect at the back but made a bit of a fist of things and scored from a wide free kick which was bungled in by Asa. A bit more quality from our own crosses could have made it interesting.

The second half saw Kalala and Nemane come on and actually cause a few problems in one of our better spells of the match with Nemane in particular having some good runs and looking good at times with his low centre of gravity giving him an added advantage in very wet and slippery conditions.

Unfortunately it was Yeovil who were able to score again with two low crosses from the right, putting the ball on the plate for their striker and James also giving the ball away just in front of our penalty area resulted in another goal from his mistake.

Our back line was turned time and time again and looked very slow and again we were lucky Yeovil did not score more. Just to compound matters Kalala had taken a knock just before they scored the fourth goal, possibly to his chest and hobbled off and slowly around the pitch for what could be quite a serious injury. This is likely to have contributed to the fourth goal. Also McDonald was very brave in saving an one-on-one but spent the last 15 minutes playing with an injury sustained in this act further contributing to the fragility of the defence which could have shipped in more . He did give everything to a losing cause while in considerable discomfort.

The two Bens were able to combine later on for another consolation goal but I’m afraid to say the scoreline if anything flattered us! The rejigging in defence only made things worse and Kyle was certainly exposed in the latter stages at left back.

A lot to think about before we reset on Saturday!

Hardly worth a watch - he has no answers but surprise surprise has admitted that were in trouble!!

Built the team from the top down instead of having a sound foundation at the back. Like trying to build a house from the roof down!

There wont be many players to chose from for sure but even if there were only eleven fit Keating still wouldn't get a start!!

Expecting a new loseing run record by Monday evening.
