The nightmare continues for Ashley Vickers as the defender saw red for the second time in ten days as Yeovil overran Weymouth at the Wessex Stadium.

The Terras' defender was dismissed after 19 minutes for a clumsy challenge and could miss Saturday's match with Stafford Rangers through suspension.

However, the match officials and Weymouth club officials indicated the suspension may not be processed by the Football Association's disciplinary committee in time for Saturday, which would mean Vickers, who was sent off against Northwich Victoria last month, will be free to play.

Vickers had pleaded with player-manager Jason Tindall for a reserve team outing and was desperate for a 45-minute run out.

The defender said he made contact with the ball, but the referee saw fit to send Vickers for an early bath on a bitterly cold evening.

"The officials have got to show a bit of common sense sometimes," said Tindall. "It is a reserve team game and I think a booking would have been enough. If he is suspended for the weekend we will have to deal with it, if he is not, then great."

Darryl Knights had latched on to the ball after Gavin McCallum's flick on from Anthony Tonkin's long ball. Knights got away from Vickers but the defender recovered only to jump into a scissor challenge as the forward was about to shoot. McCallum converted the resulting penalty.

Weymouth were forced to switch trialist Jason Thompson from centre forward to centre back and were up against it from then on.

Tindall had elected to field eight trialists. Portsmouth's TJ McClory-Cuthbertson and Louis Bell, Torquay's Stephen Reed, Johnathon Loukes, Ezekeil Rink, Dale Williams and Tom Baker, as well as Dorchester's James Rowe, featured alongside Thompson in the match but it was difficult circumstances for them to impress.

"They all did well," said Tindall, who is keen to look at them all again. "It is never easy when you get a group of lads and throw them together for the first time. Sometimes it is a bit false to judge on games like that."

Gary Bowles, who is on loan at Dorchester and rejected a move to the Wessex Stadium last week, was a class act in the Yeovil defence. How Tindall must wish Bowles had accepted his approach, particularly now Vickers could be absent.

Tonkin's cross caused havoc in the Weymouth box after 59 minutes, Matt Baker did not deal with it and McCallum claimed his second after the Terras' goalkeeper had recovered to save Knights' shot.

Weymouth had few opportunities to pull one back and when Williams was played through on goal by Callum Ross-Jennins he was ruled offside.

Daniel Thompson scored 13 minutes from time after a ricochet fell to him in the Terras' box following some aerial ping pong and Ishmael Welsh, who had stretched the Weymouth defence throughout the game, added a fourth from the penalty spot three minutes later after he had been fouled.
