To be, or not to be!

Will Gav Feature?

Terry Skiverton is waiting for a response from his six loanees parent clubs in regards to whether they can play in the Glovers first round FA Cup match against Rushden & Diamonds. 

The main headache for Skiverton will be with his two loan goalkeepers, with current first choice Stephen Henderson completing his loan spell before the tie at Nene Park unless recovering John Sullivan is still struggling with injury.

Last season Shaun MacDonald was given permission to play in this stage of the FA Cup by his parent club Swansea City, and it is more than likely this will prove to be the case again.

Owain Tudur Jones loan extension means the Norwich city loanee will be at Huish Park until after the second round, meaning he is likely to feature at Rushden & Diamonds for the first round clash.

Youngster Luke Freeman is almost certain to be given permission to play by Premier League side Arsenal, as he is a long way down the pecking order at the Emirates, despite their youth policy. 

Last, but not least, is Yeovil favourite Gavin Williams currently on-loan from Bristol City. The midfielder is on the fringes at Ashton Gate so Skiverton will have to wait and see whether City manager Keith Millen allows the Welshman to play. 

Speaking to the Western Gazette Skiverton spoke of the waiting game he is having to play:

"This week I will be finding out which of my loan signings can play in the FA Cup. That is another headache that will be solved in the next couple of days. There is lots of stuff going on, there is lots of stuff with injuries, getting people ready and fit and who is available to play. There are no easy days at Yeovil Town at the moment, but it is a game we are really looking forward to. We are just waiting for the answer to come back because everybody that is here on loan is desperate to play in the FA Cup because it is so special."
