FGR Preview- Yeovil (A)

 Forest Green Rovers take on Yeovil Town at Huish Park on Saturday night in the late televised kick-off.

 Rovers will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in the league to eight games, with their last defeat back in mid-October.

 Ahead of tomorrow’s clash, here is everything you need to know about our opponents.

The Opposition: Yeovil Town

 League Position: 14th

Nickname: ‘The Glovers’

 Yeovil have had a respectable campaign so far this season, currently sitting 14th in the league table.

 After a slow start to the season in August, the Glovers climbed up the table in September, recording five victories from seven league games.

 Two below-par months followed in October and November, but the club have picked up maximum points from their last two games.

 The two sides have already met this season, all the way back in August, in just the second game of the campaign.

 Goals from Jili Buyabu and Kairo Mitchell guided Rovers to a 2-0 victory and all three points at The New Lawn.

 Rovers will be hoping to replicate that performance and result at Huish Park tomorrow evening.

In The Dugout: Billy Rowley

 Billy Rowley is the current man in the dugout for Yeovil Town.

 Rowley was appointed as Manager of the Glovers at the end of November, after former Manager Danny Webb left the club after just one game in charge.

 It is the club’s third full-time manager of the season after former Rovers boss Marc Cooper was sacked back in August.

 The 43-year-old joined the club from seventh-tier side Walton & Hersham, where he left the club at the top of the Southern League Premier South.

 Rowley will be hoping to continue the strong start he has made at the helm of the Somerset-based side.

Player To Watch: Luke McCormick

Luke McCormick has had an impressive campaign so far for Yeovil Town, featuring in 21 of the 22 games so far.

 The former Rovers loanee has grabbed six goals and two assists during that time, including three in his last two games.

A brace against Boston and a strike against Hartlepool have helped the club pick up six points from their last two matches.

The 26-year-old joined the club in the Summer, after departing League Two side Bristol Rovers.

McCormick will be hoping to continue his run of goals against his former club tomorrow.
