Gary Johnson has said that Yeovil Town's season will be a failure if the club does not secure promotion to the Championship.

Just one win in their last six games has seen the Glovers drop outside of the playoff places, with only eight games remaining this campaign.

The League One side's manager told BBC Somerset: "I don't want people telling me how well we've done for our situation. We brought this group in to compete at this level.

"We don't want to be seventh and everyone say we were unlucky, if we don't get promoted we've failed.

"The next couple of wins are going to be vital because we don't want to be leaving it too late. We want to stay in line with automatic promotion, so therefore I'm going to need the lads I trust and have done it before."

Yeovil face Carlisle United this afternoon.
