THE start of a new season is always an optimistic time for supporters as they dream about what might be before the harsh reality hits home. That optimism was in grave danger of being extinguished completely tonight, it’s only the fact Yeovil are still unbeaten keeps hope alive.

Yeovil have pace throughout their team unless you have Terry somewhere in your name, but were struggling because they lacked something steelier in midfield. Neither Cohen nor Terry (surname) our central pairing, made their mark in the middle and they were not even up against opponents who make you fight for the right to play your passes.

Shaun Cooper had the easiest job on the pitch and marked Harrold, he also managed later to chaperon James and out jump any Yeovil player, embarrassing Skiveton (Terry forename), who’s only serious contribution as a defender was to win the toss before kick off.

The home side lost the initiative after the hour and Bournemouth took the game to Yeovil, pushing them back into their own half for vast chunks of play. Yeovil’s pace always gave them a possible shot at a killer goal from a quick break and Paul Terry was often the surprise pivot for many attempts which often resulted in passing back to a defender to aimlessly hoof it into the box or out of play.

Forget any silly statistic, Yeovil’s possession was only a short interruption in what was constant Bournemouth pressure, which was dealt with by Forbes and his rear guard Mildenhall. Whilst Skiverton tried to recover position or self made error he created in the centre of the park. Alas, Bournemouth squandering chances, and therefore lady luck seems to have paid Huish Park a visit for a change, therefore things have already improved upon last season.

I have to agree, based on that game it could be a long season!
Have to say the 'crowd' were not up to their usual tempo either, on the terrace & in the stands. (I had a spell in both).
Got to drop the 'Hey Russel Slade' it just doesn't work, noticed Thommo had to promt him to applaude the terrace when they tried it!

After our performance at the Den we were certainly hit home last night, not a good performance at all. Some fans have called for Slade to ditch the diamond and also swap Terry with Kalala and I think Kalala should be given a chance. A dissapointing performance for Harrold again. It's still early days but we need a convincing performance on Saturday. As for the "Hey Baby" chant, it's a good chant but in all fairness we need to have a new chant and one we're all gonna stick to not a chant that's suggested on a forum than not used or sang once at a match than forgotten about.
