Yeovil Town boss Gary Johnson has said he is looking for his team to get a 'comfort zone' as the race for promotion gathers speed (writes Steve Sowden).

The Glovers travel to Chester City on Saturday hoping to gain a maximum three-point haul and maintain their top-of-the-table position in the Coca-Cola League Two.

And Johnson said: "We are in a very healthy position at the moment. But we aren't going to win every game between now and the end of the season. But it is important to realise that none of the other teams will either.

"A few teams are coming through and fighting for the play-offs like Macclesfield and Lincoln, so I think things won't be decided until much further into the season.

"But it would be great if we could get a winning run together just like we did before Christmas.

"We need a bit of a comfort zone where you don't go into every game thinking it is the be all and end all. Once you've got that bit of breathing space you can relax a bit more and play your own game."

Johnson said he was at Wycombe Wanderers on Tuesday night to see them gain a 2-1 victory over title rivals Scunthorpe United, who visit Huish Park on Tuesday, with former Weymouth player-manager Steve Claridge scoring one of the goals for the Buckinghamshire side.

"It was a great result for us," said the Yeovil gaffer.

Yeovil travel to Chester this weekend without being able to call on the services of skipper Terry Skiverton who is forced to miss the game due to a one-match ban after picking up his fifth booking of the season in last Saturday's 4-2 success over Bristol Rovers.

It is more than likely that Scott Guyett will be recalled to the side to partner Colin Miles at the centre of defence.

And Johnson praised Miles, who has been dogged by injury in recent times, for his performance against Rovers.

"Colin had a super game," he said. "He has had his fair share of injuries, but he works very hard during the week with our physio."

Johnson was an extremely happy man after the win over Rovers -- a far cry from seven days previously when Yeovil fell to a miserable 3-1 defeat at Macclesfield.

"We just didn't get going at Macclesfield," he said. "We had plenty of possession, but didn't go anywhere. You need passion in your possession and against Rovers we certainly had that."

Utility player Paul Terry, who has missed recent games since picking up an injury in the 3-2 FA Cup Fourth Round defeat at Charlton Athletic, could find a spot for himself on the bench at Chester. "Paul is returning to training on Thursday so it might be a few days too early for him to come back on Saturday, but he might be on the bench," explained Johnson.

The Yeovil gaffer said that defender Adam Lockwood, who has missed most of the season through injury, was to get a 45-minute run-out against Weymouth last night (Wednesday) in a second-string friendly.

"If we can get Paul and Locky both back fit, it will be like two new signings for us," said Johnson.

But a victory for Yeovil at Chester on Saturday, at a ground where the Glovers experienced little joy in their Nationwide Conference days, would be a major boost for them ahead of Tuesday night's showdown with Scunthorpe at Huish Park.
