Their relegation from the Championship in the 2013–14 season meant an immediate return to League One. Manager Gary Johnson signed ten players before the close of the summer transfer window. The season started poorly with two consecutive league defeats and despite a brief improvement in form in late August and September, Yeovil remained in the relegation zone from October until the end of the season. The club's poor form led to the departure of Johnson in February, but his replacement Terry Skiverton could not arrest the Glovers plight and after six consecutive league defeats was replaced by Paul Sturrock. His first match in charge saw Yeovil's back-to-back relegation to League Two confirmed. The club reached the third round of the FA Cup, losing to Premier League side Manchester United having beaten Crawley Town and Accrington Stanley in the preceding rounds. Yeovil were eliminated in the first round of both the League Cup and the Football League Trophy, losing to Gillingham and Portsmouth respectively. James Hayter and January signing Gozie Ugwu were the club's top scorers with 5 goals each, with all of those coming in the league. 2 Background 2013–14 Yeovil Town F.C. season List of Yeovil Town F.C. seasons The 2013–14 season saw Yeovil compete in the second tier of English football for the first time in their history following promotion to the Championship via the 2013 Football League One play-off final.
