Yeovil strike Tahvon Campbell says he and the squad are disappointed at how the season has gone so far and that they’re continuing to work hard to turn things around.
Campbell, who returned to the Glovers in the summer, was speaking to BBC Somerset’s Josh Perkins ahead of the trip to Morecambe and said the recent run has been difficult but things change quickly in football: “I’d say it’s difficult, but I think, we’ve got to look at the fixtures we’ve had. We’ve got to just keep doing the same things. We’ve got to keep working hard in training, and we’ve got to believe in what we’re doing. And as football is, things change all the time. So in short spaces of time as well. So pick up a few wins in the next few games or a few draws and yeah, everything looks different. The table is quite tight still, so if we do get a few wins in the next few, then we’ll be back in and around mid table.”
After the defeat to Southend, Richard Dryden said they’d be working on creating more opportunities to solve the Glovers’ goalsoring woes, and Campbell said it has been a big focus this week.
“Yeah, I think, we’ve been heavily focused on how we’re going to create chances. I think, when I have played, and even when I haven’t, it’s been hard to come by a clear goal-scoring chance. So I think if we put that together with everything, I think we’ll be alright. We do need to find a way to start creating more chances and putting pressure on other teams.”
Campbell last found the back of the net [intentionally] at Aldershot where the Glovers responded to Danny Webb’s shock departure with an unforgettable 4-1 win. When asked how Yeovil could replicate that performance Campbell said: “I think we just need to keep working hard and we need to find different ways because every game is different. In that game, it felt like we were playing more counter-attacking, but it literally depends on the game. So we’ll have to see when we go into each individual game.”
Campbell added, despite Morecambe’s position in the table (and leaky defence), Yeovil would show them respect.
“We give respect to them. They’re a good team, and they’re in a position which says that they might not be doing so well. So we’re going to go there with our confidence and hopefully try and get three points.”
Campbell was also asked on his reflections of the season so far, saying: “I think as a team we’re disappointed with how we’re doing at the moment and like we just want to do our best. I think all the lads effort-wise are still trying, so I think at some point it will change. When it does, then, I think we’ll continue to keep picking up points.”
