Terry Skiverton has reflected on yesterday's 2-1 victory over Leyton Orient, concluding their is 'room for improvement'.

The Glovers boss stated how they started off the game well, but sat on their lead to readily, comparing the performance to the pre-season friendly against Bristol City: 

"The first 15 minutes is a recurring theme with me. We played some great stuff; created one-on-ones and had a lot of chances but as soon as we got the early goal we sat back like we did in the friendly with Bristol City and didn't pass the ball. We had to chase about a lot and they had three in midfield who got a lot of possession and a lot of interplay. They caused us problems at times but we held on and took our chances well." 

Skiverton also singled out star performer Adam Virgo for praise, along with the rest of his back four:

"It was the first game and there was a bit of rustiness. People didn't want to take risks. In the second half they threw caution to the wind. My back four was magnificent with Adam Virgo outstanding. He has come down the leagues but has the bit between his teeth."
