Yeovil Town captain Terry Skiverton has declared his ambition to remain at Huish Park, to which end negotiations on a new contract have begun. Speaking to the Western Daily Press Skivo said :
We have just started to talk about a new contract. Steve Thompson is bringing people in over the next week or so, but it is looking good and hopefully we can sort things out. I have had a great time at Yeovil and I love it here. My fiancee is from around here, and her family is here, and I am looking forward to carrying on working with Steve Thompson and John Fry.
On the the battle to regain his starting place, lost through a suspension, the captain was phlegmatic :
The game [against Barnsley] was a joy to watch because it was a brilliant win for us. It makes you want to try even harder in training, but as a professional I have got a lot of respect for Efe Sodje and Scott Guyett as well as Colin Miles and Liam Fontaine, our other central-defenders.
We have got a lot of competition for places in that position and we are top heavy there compared to other areas, like midfield. You just can't afford to get injured or suspended because you know you could lose your place. But we, as a group, have a great team spirit and we enjoy seeing the team get three points.
We have been working really hard this week in training with the gaffer and his assistant, Kevin Hodges. We have been really enjoying it because we haven't played Bournemouth in the league before and we are all excited about it. Hopefully, it should be close to a full house and we just want to reward the supporters, who have been magnificent all season. Even when we have not been doing well they have stayed behind us. They have been excellent.
Meanwhile another long-standing Glover, Darren Way, is looking closely at the date for his return to action. Since Dazza would probably play with two broken legs if allowed he's hoping for Doncaster Rovers on January 2nd, but perhaps saner medical advice suggests he won't be available for selection until the visit of Hartlepool United on the 7th.
