Re: Beware of Grecians bearing gifts. Home v Exeter City, 25th Nov. 3-0'clock.

Pity we're such a bunch of leader-less wimps who have no chance of promotion, and have such a shite, tactilely inept manager eh? Imagine where we'd be if we weren't.....

Re: Beware of Grecians bearing gifts. Home v Exeter City, 25th Nov. 3-0'clock.

Good half that. A bit slow, but steady and always in control.
Some lovely play for the goals too.

So much time and space at the back - Exeter offering no press at all. Think Toal has had more of the ball in that 45 mins than in the rest of his career in total!!!

Like that screen shot. A lot. And for all the perennial nay-sayers out there, just take a look at from 26th Sept onwards - thats 10 wins out of 11. Not bad for a team that doesn't have the bottle to challenge for promotion (and yes, I know a few of these were cup wins....) The caveating at the end ...

Re: Where no seagulls fly...Home to Blackpool Sat 11th Nov, 1500 hrs.

Superb performance and result today. I had a bad feeling about it going into the game - sadly with every win, the likelihood of slipping up next match increases, and with the massive crowd I felt this would be when we did slip up. Blackpool are a quality team but overall I think we just about shaded...

Re: No Gooseberries at Shrewbury. Away to Shrewsbury Tuesday 7th Nov 7-45.

Appart from the one spring that I stupidly broke mid 1st half was the couch comfortable for everyone? Certainly was DJB, top man. Just 3 points behind 1st and level on points with 2nd who’ve just lost their manager, things aren’t looking too bad. Really odd to think just a few weeks ago internet se...

The test is Saturday. Big expectant home crowd. Local derby. Played a tough game midweek.

All the warning signs there but it’s a crucial game. Have to prove we can do it in these games.
Come on, just enjoy tonight's result (& the last 3.....)

Re: An Athletic sprint down the Valley: V Charlton away 28th Oct. 3-0'clock.

Would've been nice to have gone 2nd in the league, but Oxford's late equaliser put pay to that one. Yeah, but please don't forget: according to some (who incidentally go very quiet when we do well ...) we"re a weak, leaderless, bunch of shirkers who can't be arsed and are nowhere near threatening t...

Good to hear.
Despite protestations by some on here that our recruitment is poor, I'd say he was a hell of a find: minimising the missing of Bradley, fit as a future, and able to operate in both sides...

Re: Wycombe and we go: Away vs Wycombe (Tues 24th October 19:45)

Which is fine, but there is another team involved. One who has probably had an absolute rocket put up them at half time for being 2 nil down, so come out all guns blazing and making it far harder for us to press on and get that 3rd goal....

Re: Wycombe and we go: Away vs Wycombe (Tues 24th October 19:45)

So hang on a minute. We've just won twice in 4 days. 5 out of the last 6. We're 4th, and win our game in hand we potentially go 2nd. We're the 2nd most prolific team in the league.

And we're still whinging, complaining, criticising and fault-finding????

Re: Wycombe and we go: Away vs Wycombe (Tues 24th October 19:45)

Sadly though - most football stadia tend to be filled with the great unwashed underbelly of society. It's not nice to say I know, but when I weigh up the amount of sheer stupidity I hear on a match day compared to reasoned content, there is a clear winner. What most of the stadium therefore demands ...

Re: Sole destroying: Northampton home Sat 21/10 15:00

Well, we won but it's a bit concerning we can only seemingly play for one half. Our fast starts doing heavy lifting at the moment. And the problem is? Starting fast and finishing slow,- as long as we still win - achieves exactly the same as starting slow and finishing fast, or playing the whole gam...

Dreadful. Nothing else to say.
Somehow I doubt it :mrgreen:
And I, for one, would argue that "nothing" should at the very least include a win, 3 points, no injuries, climbing the table.
