Terry Skiverton: 'I had to leave the stadium as Yeovil Town scored'

Skiverton: 'I had to leave the stadium'

Yeovil Town caretaker manager Terry Skiverton has revealed that he left the stadium as he could not watch his side's stoppage-time penalty against Gillingham.

The Somerset outfit were trailing late on when Joel Grant was tripped in the area and awarded a spot kick.

However, when Adam Morgan stepped up to score the from 12 yards and seal Yeovil a point, Skiverton was nowhere to be seen.

He told BBC Somerset: "He was a brave lad for stepping up in that moment and taking the penalty. I don't know if you saw, but I actually walked out of the ground. I went down the tunnel, as I couldn't watch it.

"Then when Adam Morgan picked up the ball up, I walked even further and thought I'm not turning back! Things happen in football. He had a few chances to go out and play on loan and he didn't really take those opportunities.

"So he was probably very close (to leaving). When I took over I said that I'd give everyone a chance, and that means everyone. I can't all of a sudden say everyone has got a clean sheet and then limit someone else."

Yeovil are three points adrift at the bottom of League One after Leyton Orient beat Oldham Athletic 3-0.
