WAY BLASTS HIS STYLE SETTERS

- BY IAN BAKER

YEOVIL boss Darren Way hit out at his players’ “lifestyles” after they were humbled against Stockport.

The Glovers lost 3-1 to a side 43 places below them in the pyramid as goals from Matty Warburton, Nyal Bell and Frank Mulhern helped the ex-Football League side come from behind after Alex Fisher’s opener.

Way (below) said: “Whether it be their lifestyle, I just felt that one or two individual­s make mistakes, and they just didn’t really look fit or stronger, or more confident at times.”

Maidstone boss Harry Wheeler mastermind­ed his side’s 2-1 upset of Macclesfie­ld thanks to a half-time rollocking.

Ben Stephens had put the Silkmen ahead before Jack Powell’s free-kick and Blair Turgott’s penalty turned it around.

Wheeler said: “Sometimes it needs more of an aggressive environmen­t at half-time to get a different reaction, and we managed to do that.”

League Two Tranmere survived an upset at the hands Oxford City and midfielder Ollie Banks reckons some players disrespect­ed the competitio­n.

Rovers needed a late equaliser from James Norwood to salvage a 3-3 draw with Kabongo Tshimanga scoring a hat-trick for the minnows and Connor Jennings netting an earlier brace.

Banks said: “It’s every lad’s dream to play in the Cup, but it didn’t look like it.”
