Hello folks

[Jolly Green Giant]

Probably the last person you want to hear from right now, a Yeovil fan, but to be fair I thought you absolutely battered us today. We played well in the first half and took our two chances well, but at half time I said to the person next to me "Watch out we will gift them a goal and then it will be fingers bitten down to the elbows."
That was exactly what happened too. We may have won the game, which is the most important thing I guess, but the better side didn't win. I know that's pretty cold comfort for you right now. If you had equalised, we would probably have disintegrated after being 2-0 up. I think you must have had 80% possession 2nd half.
To be fair to us our back line was immense and fought a do or die rear guard action.
You should be proud of your team, and I am sure you will do well again next season. Your fans are first class too.
No one is under any illusion what we will be up against next season. We will be playing with a peanuts budget again and Gary Johnson will be digging around in the loan market and free transfer market for gems again. If one person can un-earth them, he can.
I think the first priority for many of us will be to get past Derby's record low points tally of 11 points when they were in the Prem!
Anyway...all the best for the future and if I was your manager I would be hanging on to Harry Forrester..he was brilliant again today, and we were not picking him up. Fellow Yeovil fans were wondering why I was going apoplectic at times, because there will be a lot more like him in the Championship.
All the very best for next season.

I assumed you were genuine until that Harry Forrester comment.

 

[JasonBee]

Possession is one thing, delivering a decent ball into the box is another. When we can combine the two we may win .

Can we have Madden?

I thought he ran rings round us to be honest. He's as slippery as an eel

fair play, thats a pretty honest account of things....i agree in that if we had scored that equaliser we would have won it but youre back 4 were immense and deserve all the plaudits....it was a siege for the last 30mins but we never had the nouce to do the right thing.....good luck next season, i think youre going to need it

That's all very nice but I'm afraid I don't give a toss what you think. Good luck next season though.

Ignore some of the less generous spirited replies in this thread. We are just all bitterly disappointed yet again and wondering just what we have to do to break our big game jinx - as you probably know, that's 7 failures in 7 play offs for us and 6 defeats in 6 finals (3 POs and 3 JPTs). We have seen today's script time after time and, foolishly, had allowed ourselves to get sucked into the hope that surely it wouldn't, it couldn't, happen yet again. It's just heartbreaking seeing the opposition fans celebrating time after time and wondering why it's never us.

But if we had to lose to anybody I'm glad it was to you. The competitive balance in football has become so skewed by money that it's really refreshing to see a club with genuinely modest resources making it to the 2nd tier. It gives hope to everybody that they could do the same themselves ('cept us, obviously ) I must be honest, when I saw you beat us at GP back in August I would never have guessed that you would be in this position now, but given that you've beaten us 3 times with an 8-2 aggregate this season we can't suggest that you don't deserve it. Enjoy your celebrations and I genuinely hope that you stay up next year and we are able to break the Yeovil jinx in the Championship in 2 seasons time.

Exactly...we just keep thinking by the law of averages it's got be our turn to celebrate on such occasion...but no! :no:

That's why I didn't buy any of those official play-off scarfs because I knew if we lost I'd want to bin it after. Can't even face reading the programme now which my 9 year son enjoys looking at. There were tears from him at the final whistle. But for me having been through all 7 playoffs and only missing the odd match in them, plus all our final trips to Wembley or the Millennium Stadium except for Wigan '85...I've shed enough tears and just feel numb after.

 

[A_BEE_SINCE_63]

A team plays us 3 times in a season and beats us 3 times. Good luck to Yeovil Town.

The problem I have is that our management appeared to learn nothing from the first two matches. Yes, we battered them in the 2nd half, but for much of the time it was mainly over hit high balls in to the box for their giant centre backs to gobble up.

Yeovil played to their strengths, we have lost sight of ours.

Nice post mate, thanks.

All the best for next season.

 

[Thorne In The Side]

Nice post and good luck next season - make sure you don't let the next few weeks pass you by.

 

[Gonads2]

Best of luck Yeovil, too sick still to say anything else.

 

[zuko]

Yeovil played to their strengths, we have lost sight of ours.

Spot on summary.

 

[shaun]

Well done and good luck for next season. Decent club and (based on the fans I spoke to on the tube on the way up to the match) decent fans. If it wasn't us going up, I would have hoped it was Yeovil.

 

[Bee4ever]

Good luck to Yeovil. They have achieved on a low budget.
I have always has respect for their fans since they visited GP in 2006 and we held a minutes silence for Bees legend Dennis Heath who had just passed away. The 2,000 of them packed in the Ealing Road end observed the silence with total respect and you could have heard a pin drop.

 

[westwing]

Fair play mate !
I thought the Yepvil fans were very admirable in their victory yesterday.
Me and my son hung around Wembley for a while and were mixed in with all the
Yeovil fans at the station. Anyone would've thought Yeovil had lost, most just wanted
to mind there own business and get home quickly. the last thing we needed was the
victory to be shoved in our faces. A good set of fansIMO. Good luck next season but I
don't think either clubs are ready for the next level, on and off the field.

I was surprised your goalie was MOM - to me your man mountain centre half was immense and his commanding holding together of Yeovil's defence was the difference between the teams.

 

[Bee4ever]

Dear Jolly Green Giant,

Good luck next season in the Championship. I hope you will be geared up to deal with some of your "visitors" fans, QPR,Millwall and Leeds to name but a few. My QPR supporting brother in law follows his team all over the country and told me last night with a smirk on his face that he is really looking forward to an awayday in Somerset.
My response was " I hope it it is pissing down with rain and they lock you all in the open away end after the game and then keep repeating the Yeovil Town FC song at full blast over the tannoy "

 

[nocoat]

Leeds have already played there in the league as I remember my token northern mate went. I actually think they are OK for these sorts of games as it is in the middle of nowhere so harder for moody people to do moody things and get away etc.

Thanks mate for the kind words and good luck next season. The difference was the Managers, GJ definitely won the tactical battle.

 

[favershambee]

Good Luck for next season, I think you may need it. Mind you ,I would have loved to be in your position despite the odds of staying up. Well done you managed to achieve promotion on the back of a small budget compared to other clubs.
COYR COYR COYR!!!!

 

[GEOFFBEE]

If it aint us going up I am rather pleased it is Yeovil.
Good Luck to them. They have done brilliantly on their resources, and seem a real nice club, with quality supporters, too.

It also gives heart and hope to all of the 'not so big' clubs in the lower divisions.

 

[Guildford Bee]

Agree with most of the above. Absolutely gutted but it would've been even worse had we lost to Sheffield Utd or Swindon.

Most of the Yeovil fans seemed a decent, friendly bunch.

 

[Bee4ever]

I was surprised your goalie was MOM - to me your man mountain centre half was immense and his commanding holding together of Yeovil's defence was the difference between the teams.

Absolutely spot on.Sitting up in block 545 virtually on the roof, it gave an excellent view of the different defensive set ups.In the first half Brentford back four were strung out from touchline to touchline and the gaps were apparent. Yeovil were exploiting these with their counter attacks and looked as though they might score every time they attacked. In the second half when Brentford put them under the cosh, the Yeovil defence quickly closed the gaps by dropping men back and Bees attackers were often quickly surrounded by 3 or 4 players, and as you say the centre half was terrific.

 

[TW3Bee]

Most of the Yeovil fans seemed a decent, friendly bunch.

As opposed to Swindon and Sheffield Utd, their fans are *****

 

[Northwestsbuzzinbee]

your be down by xmas i might have a little bet ....

 

[NorthamptonBee]

We actually had a bit of banter with them at the station, we had 5 or 6 19 year olds with us and some older farts who weren't exactly up for any pee take and I was worried it might go wrong, they were dignified and decent, we would have been the same. Fair play to them.

Best wishes for next year GJ experience proved too much for Uwe, I guess thats pay back for the fans when GJ name was bandied around
for our new manager and lots on here said no.

 

[Ytfc]

To the fella asking about our forum, its called 'The green room II' you will need to sign up to visit but it doesnt take long just search that into google.
As for the game i thought you lot were well on top second half but thats becuase you were chasing the game like you should of been, i think our defence was good enough to put a stop to most of your attacks and that left you shooting frol distance without hitting the target. I think the main reason we won is that we took our chances well and started off brilliantly! I think its fair to say we deserved it but Brentford is a great club and hopefully you do well next year, cant see why not! Your fans are a good bunch! Im hoping we can stay up next season, bookies had us favourites to go down once again and once again proved them wrong on the small budget and crowds! Good luck next season i will be back if we can beat QPR for you lot *little constellation prize if you like* Once again good luck next season we might play you in the cup!

 

[hanworthbee]

yep fair play to them and a good club...they've beaten us fair and square three times this season

[NorthamptonBee]

I wish Yeovil well, I hope they stay up and cause a few shocks along the way, no goading from their fans at their place when they slaughter us and not much at Wembley either, I like that. Can you imagine what it would have been like to have lost to Sheff U?
GJ is a knob but fair play to them, we probably have better players but they have a better team.

 

[Alan D]

Having tipped Yeovil to win the play-off,s back in March I am not surprised that they did. Fair play to them, no one back at the start of the season gave them a cat's in hell chance of gaining promotion. It's crazy really but I will miss my day out at their place, despite the fact we always seem to under perform there. Always a friendly bunch and a few pints in the tent pre game are part of an enjoyable day.

I wish them good luck in the Championship and they may well surprise some of the so called big clubs.

 

[Paul USA]

Always wanted Sheffield Utd at Wembley cos we can beat them. - was worried from the moment we knew it was Yeovil we would play.

And yes, thier fans are excellent. They took the time to be gracious after the game while we were standing around next to the coach and they have always been pleasant at Huish Park.

Peed off it was not us but would rather them than Sheffield Utd.

Enjoy the Championship JGG and we will meet again in the 2014/15 season. (Cos you will stay up)

Good luck next season.....is it true that you must get money from the local Council to upgrade your ground to Championship level....

 

[The Pipe]

Have always enjoyed my trips to Yeovil, although results are bad. Great club with some nice fans, just feel sorry for my Brother in his pub about a dozen miles away where all the clientele know he is a Bees fan. Think he might have a tough week or so!!!!!!

PRIDE OF SOMERSET screamed my local pub yesterday.

 

[Brentford Bob]

Yeovil have the smelliest fans I've ever had the misfortune to encounter. Getting on the train at Southampton, nearly everyone was in green and white and the clearly had run out of right guard in Somerset that weekend.

That said, they seemed a decent bunch and wished us luck but hoped for a Yeovil win, obviously. I couldn't bring myself to be quite so generous....

Nice post from the thread starter and I wish them well next season.

 

[Nick Hester]

Yep echo most of these thoughts. I hope Yeovil ruffle some feathers next year. Good luck to them.
