Skiverton hails dogged Glovers

Yeovil boss Terry Skiverton hailed his side after they picked up a point in the goalless draw at Plymouth to climb off the foot of the table. Argyle's on-loan goalkeeper David Button dived low to his right to keep out Sam Williams' penalty after Andy Williams had been fouled by Curtis Nelson in the 28th minute. Yeovil had the better of the south west clash at Home Park, where the Glovers' new loan signing Paul Wotton nearly scored early on. But Skiverton was content with a point, saying: "It's a big positive we are off the bottom of the table. That's two clean sheets on the bounce in the league and the fact we are off the foot of the table is a huge lift to everyone at the club. "I was delighted with the way the two new signings - Paul Wotton and Max Ehmer - fitted in. Paul Wotton had a really good game for us in midfield and Max fitted in well at the back and they both played their part in making sure we kept another clean sheet because we withstood a fair amount of pressure in the second half. "I was pleased with John Sullivan in goal, he did well although despite Plymouth have a fair amount of possession in the second half they did not have that many clear-cut chances. In the first half I felt that we could have maybe been one or two up, given the fact that Sam Williams had his penalty saved."
