Evans' frustration as an understudy
The 19-year-old featured in the first three games of the season but has fallen out of favour with director of football Shaun Brooks since Behcet's arrival from Yeovil Town. Evans got his chance in both FA Cup Second Qualifying Round games with Paulton Rovers because the Glovers did not want their keeper cup-tied. "It is a frustrating time but then I understand that Darren is a very good goalkeeper," said Evans. "When you are handed a goalkeeper like that - he has come from West Ham and gone to Yeovil - you cannot turn him down. "As for myself, I started out at 14 years of age (at Andover), went to Weymouth when I was 16 and have been renting and living by myself since then. That has helped me grow up and be a better character. "I just want to do well. There is nothing better than playing football and having a full-time contract at a club that can be so passionate about football is a fantastic thing. "The coaching is decent. We have not got a goalkeeping coach yet but we are working on it. If I stay at Dorchester for the rest of my life I do not mind because it is such a brilliant club. "But, obviously my aim is to move on because every player wants to play at the highest level they can get to. I am only 19 still, so I have got, like the other lads, a long time to go in my career bar injuries." Evans stressed, however, that he was just pleased to be involved again in the cup games - despite the results. He said: "Obviously they have brought me in for Bechet. But I put my all into every single game and if it does not come off for me then it does not come off. "As long as the gaffer knows I have put everything into it that is all that matters - I just want to keep improving." Evans admits Dorchester need more character if they are to overcome their poor start to the campaign. "It is very disappointing because obviously we are a full-time outfit," he said. "It is not that we are struggling - we need someone to pull their finger out and show a bit of character. "People say about us being full-time but it is not always the thing that wins you games. "The full-time is a bonus and I think by the end of the season it will all come together because we have got a decent, young team. "They are all talented and all good on the ball. Unfortunately on Monday night (at Paulton) I thought we were outplayed. They were a good side - let us not underestimate them." |
