YEOVIL Town manager Gary Johnson has thanked the Glovers' supporters for their fantastic backing during the 4-2 victory over West Country rivals Bristol Rovers.

"I'd like to thank our great supporters for the wonderful support they gave me and the lads throughout the game," he said.

"I thought the game and support was all played in the right spirit. The plus points in these sorts of situations is whether the team can respond well in times of adversity and we did that on Saturday.

"We won the game thanks to a fantastic spell of football. It was three massive points for us at this stage of the season and although we were obviously celebrating the victory on the day we were also celebrating another victory in our quest to gain promotion this season and I think another seven or eight victories will be sufficient to achieve that.

"I think we have players hitting a bit of form and the team is very focussed at present and I think the club showed we can come through games like that strongly, especially as it was a local derby with all the hype that goes with that sort of game.

"I did think that everybody at this football club, including the off the field staff, deserved that victory on Saturday."
