Yeovil Town the latest side to claim all three points against Notts County


Joe Jones

Another matchday, another defeat for Notts, this time away to a resurgent Yeovil Town side who claimed a 1-0 win over the freefalling Magpies on Saturday.

The visitors enjoyed a bright start to the game at Huish Park, with Curtis Thompson firing just wide of the left hand post in the seventh minute.

Moments later, Liam Noble's well-worked low corner found skipper Jon Stead, but his shot was blocked on the line before being scrambled clear.

Yeovil then piled forward and forced a save from Scott Loach in the 10th minute before Mark Laird blasted wide three minutes later.

A lull then took place with both sides battling in midfield, but in the 27th minute Adam Campbell's pass to Stead was fired towards goal but blocked on the six-yard line.

The Magpies ended the half strongly, with Stead once again pushing forward and threatening with a shot four minutes from the break, but ultimately neither side could break the deadlock come the referee's whistle.

This all changed three minutes after the restart, as former Notts striker Francois Zoko connected onto Ryan Dickson's cross to head the ball past Loach and into the net to put the Glovers a goal ahead.

Jamie Fullarton had his goalkeeper to thank for keeping the scoreline down with a succession of brilliant saves, including to thwart Leroy Lita's 76th-minute penalty following an alleged handball in the Magpies box.

Notts pressed on a number of occasions and came close through Stead, Noble and Campbell, but Yeovil were clearly the better side and, were it not for Loach's saves and some lacklustre finishing, would have finished the game multiple goals to the good.

Six games played. Five defeats and one draw (to a struggling Dagenham & Redbridge side). Two goals scored in those six games. None scored in the last four.
