YEOVIL season-ticket holders have forgotten what a goal – and a win – looks like.

Incredibly, the struggling Glovers have not scored in the league at Huish Park for approaching eight-and-a-half hours of football.

Yeovil have fired five straight blanks since veteran James Hayter scored in a 1-1 draw with Swindon on October 18. They have not hit the net anywhere since Ben Nugent's late consolation at Bristol City on Boxing Day.

With only 19 goals in 24 games, it is not hard to see why they are cut adrift by four points at the bottom of the division ahead of tomorrow's visit of the Bantams.

Yeovil scored three times at Valley Parade in September – all from crosses – when Gary Johnson's side looked anything but relegation fodder.

But that was their best performance of the season by a long way. Defender Aaron Martin, who headed two goals that day, has since joined Coventry.

Johnson has legendary status at Somerset's only club after steering them into the Football League. But he is on thin ice as Yeovil threaten to drop straight from the Championship to League Two.

They have won only once in 12 attempts on their own patch – and that was back in September against Peterborough.

Johnson has tried to address the striking woes this week with two attacking signings. Jamaican international Jamar Loza has joined on a month's loan from Norwich and former Yeovil frontman Gozie Ugwu has returned after leaving Dunfermline.

They will need to hit the ground running as the natives grow increasingly restless.

Johnson is also trying to hurry through a further arrival at centre half in time to face the Bantams.

Nugent's red card at Barnsley for throwing an elbow saw him banned for four games and leaves Stephen Arthurworrey as the only recognised central defender.

Left back Nathan Smith, who impressed against Manchester United in the FA Cup recently, has the height and mobility to deputise in there if Johnson cannot find another back-up.

Chairman John Fry has remained fairly non-committal about the manager's position and the pair are currently meeting on an almost daily basis.

Fry has made it clear that "difficult decisions" have to be made to clear up the mess.
