A low key poor quality first half with neither team imposing themselves on the game. Telford were a big strong team and were cutting out most of Yeovil's aerial passes with ease, but even though Telford controlled a lot of the possession, they were unable to create chances to trouble Tony Pennock.

Telford's best chance of the half came when a Rob Cousins clearance was charged down by Gez Murphy and the deflection screamed over the bar. Most of Telford's possession came to nothing.

Conversely Yeovil's chances were just as few, with the best being a 40 yard lob from Ben Smith that went well wide plus an injury time free kick that went straight into keeper Dean Williams' arms.

The second half began in explosive fashion as both sides carved out two quick goals. Chris Malkin looked a touch offside when he received the ball in the centre of the park but his pass to Gez MURPHY saw the ball crashed home from 15 yars with Pennock not standing a chance.

Within 90 seonds though Yeovil were level. A Lee Archer cross was faintly flicked on by Warren Patmore and the ball was met by Jamie PITMAN who equalised from an angled drive from 10 yards.

Just short of the hour mark, referee Mr Curson showedd consistency when he booked Gez Murphy for shooting at goal after the whistle had blown in an exact replica of the first half Foster booking.

Paul Tisdale made his debut on 64 minutes replacing a largely ineffective Ben Smith but two minutes later Yeovil fell behind when a Gary Fitzpatrick left wing cross was met by a free header from Brian McGORRY who had all the room he wanted by the penalty spot to place his shot past a blameless Tony Pennock.

With 12 minutes left Jason Eaton replaced Adrian Foster but shortly afterwards disaster struck for Yeovil. They had been awarded a free kick after Terry Skiverton had been elbowed in the face but Skiverton lost his cool and in squaring up to his opposite number the referee felt there was enough contact to justify a red card for Skiverton. Peculiarly the Telford forward got off scot free.

To fill the gap, Kevan Brown replaced Lee Archer but it was all in vain. With four minutes remaining insult was added to injury as Matt Hayfield upended Simon Travis in the penalty area and Gez MURPHY got his second goal of the game by sending Pennock the wrong way.

If you look at a slope, a slope is hard to climb and to get to the top it is hard work to get there. At the moment, we are on a slope that is sliding back the other way. Not a slippery slope, but a slow slide. I'm concerned, and I'm not the sort of person to try and camoflague or hide what I think or say. I think it's got to be "Back to Basics" for Yeovil Town.

I thought our second half performance was way below what was acceptable to me. But we shot ourselves in the foot. We had the second half restart and gave the ball away, and Gez Murphy scored. With the second goal, we ended up on our backsides outside the eighteen yard box, and the ball went out wide, was crossed in, and on the penalty spot McGorry got a free header. You can not afford to shoot yourself in the foot like that at this level of the game let alone any other level. They are basic mistakes.
