Rowley 'really confident' Yeovil can get more wins

New Yeovil Town manager Billy Rowley said he is "really confident" that the current team can continue to get wins.

Rowley was appointed last week and took charge of the Glovers for the first time on Saturday as they beat Boston for their first win in seven league matches.

He has also become the fourth man in the dugout at Huish Park this season, following Mark Cooper, Danny Webb - who spent just 10 days in charge - and Richard Dryden.

Rowley said the team were "definitely underperforming" but that he did not yet know whether that meant they would look to bring new signings in immediately.

"In the last four, five sessions I've taken with them I'm really excited to be working with them and I'm really confident that we can go and get some wins with this group," Rowley told BBC Radio Somerset.

"Whether that does mean we add one or two players in the next few weeks we're open to that, it's not something we're necessarily chasing or fighting for."

Yeovil is Rowley's first management role this high in the English football pyramid having previously been in charge of seventh-tier Walton & Hersham.

The 41-year-old has previously worked in the academies of Chelsea, Millwall and Fulham while he also coached in the USA.

In his 10 days at the helm so far, Rowley said he had "learned a lot" as he adjusts to a new level of football.

"One thing I back myself on is being a good learner, being a quick learner, I've been quite adaptable in my career and I'm looking forward to that challenge," he said.

Yeovil are currently 15th in the National League, their sixth campaign in the lower leagues since relegation from League Two in 2019.

The Glovers were taken over by entrepreneur Prabhu Srinivasan in July and Rowley said both he and the new owner showed are "aligned" on their vision for the club.

"He sells his vision very well, the club is steeped in history and he wants to keep it really simple," he said.

"He wants to build a real connection between players, between fans, between community, he wants us to play with a real clear style, they want us to recruit quite young and hungry players and that's everything that I want to do as well as a football manager."

Yeovil travel to Hartlepool United in their next match on 6 December and Rowley said he hopes fans will soon start to see his style come out on the pitch.

"I value a bit of a position play system where people play their role and understand why they're doing what they're doing, but that does change week to week," he said.

"The fans will probably learn quite quickly that the players - I hope - will show a lot of clarity on the pitch and start to build some good relationships in how they attack and defend."
