We head for Somerset on Saturday
Words Charlie Staples | Pictures Jonathan Moore
The Robins are back on the road this weekend, making the 209-mile journey to Somerset, where they face Yeovil Town.
With nothing to show points-wise after back-to-back home games in the last week, Phil Parkinson's men will be looking to get back on track as the Enterprise National League hits matchday 12.
Hitting The Road
Another good performance, but disappointing result, against the league leaders
Forest Green Rovers on Tuesday, following on from a similar outcome on Saturday against Carlisle United has the Robins in 16th place on 12 points heading into the weekend down at Huish Park.
Our Opponents
Our hosts for this weekend find themselves three places above Alty in 13th, having won
four, drawn one and lost six.
New interim manager Richard Dryden steered his side to an impressive 4-1 away win at
Aldershot in the week, giving them a confidence boost after their recent off the pitch
troubles.
Key players Alty will be looking to nullify include ex-Northampton and Peterborough striker Junior Morias, who is their top scorer with three goals, creative midfielder Luke McCormick who has three goals/assists to his name this season, as well as former Southampton winger Josh Sims, who is also amongst the goals for The Glovers.
The Gaffer
"At some point this group is going to click into gear and things will start to go for us. Nobody's enjoying the results at the moment but I'm certainly enjoying watching the team play.
"Our build-up to Yeovil will involve due diligence, recovery and making sure the intensity at training is right. All we can do is make sure we're doing everything we can to be as ready as we can."
Last Time At Huish Park
You'll have to rewind 12 months for the corresponding fixture last season where the two sides played out a goalless draw in front of 2,838 crowd at Huish Park, which included 91 Alty fans.
