Billy Rowley has backed his Yeovil Town players to approach their FA Cup tie with the right mentality. The manager expressed full confidence in his squad ahead of this weekend's fourth qualifying round match against Leatherhead.
Rowley praised the group's level-headed nature and their commitment to a balanced approach. "I've got full faith that the lads will approach this in the right mindset," the Yeovil boss said. He emphasised the importance of the squad turning up as the best version of themselves, not only for the club but for the supporters and ownership. Players not selected in the starting eleven were encouraged to stay ready for any opportunity.
Team news and recent form
Yeovil arrive at the cup game in formidable league form, sitting fourth in the National League with 25 points from 13 games. Their recent results, including back-to-back 6-0 victories, have built momentum. Midfielder Zane Westbrooke is ruled out with a calf injury, while Ryan Jones is a late doubt after a head knock. Joel Powell and Jack Kingdon are among those who have taken recent opportunities well. The psychological and financial lift of reaching the first round proper remains a clear incentive.
After the Leatherhead match, Yeovil Town's attention returns to the league with a home fixture against sixth-placed Altrincham on 24 October.
