Second half thinking they're going to cruise through to a win. Can't keep turning off thinking it's done.

They'll have their backs up now and probs get a third.

We just never seem to shake off that sense of naivety.

We're really good to watch when we play like this, although I'd love to see some variety with the delivery in once we get in behind; it surely doesn't have to be drilled hard and low every time.

Re: This Exe is on fire: Exeter (A) Sat 9 Mar, 3pm

I very much like the balance of the back three.

I'm glad Maghoma's starting too.

Remember: Barnsley almost always score, but they also almost always concede. Keep at it, whites.

Iredale has to start next game. He’s been good coming on.
Agree - I like him in our system, he passes well and that helps with the overloads. Not sure who to drop, like...

I think we'd probably have to go with shunting Jones to RWB, wouldn't we?

Collins has been by a distance our biggest attacking threat. Unless he was completely shagged, why the feck would you take him off?

It'll no doubt be based on "the data".

Re: Raising the Bar: Barnsley (A), Tue 5 Mar 7.45pm

Even though I understand the logic behind our regular rotating of the starting eleven, there's a question to be asked about how big an impact it's having on individual efforts to find a bit of form and, for want of a better phrase, team synergy.

I'd be tempted to name an unchanged team.

Re: Contract expiry

That's great news on Toal.

I imagine we'll likely have to find out which league we'll be playing in next season before we cam tie down Santos, Sheehan, and Baxter.

Re: Raising the Bar: Barnsley (A), Tue 5 Mar 7.45pm

Evatt's comments today are hardly the type to fire us up going into such a crucial match.

Media training, or at least just a thicker skin, might be in order.

Re: Cam on, fear the noise: Cambridge (H) Sat 2 Mar 3pm

When was the last time we had two wing-backs starting consecutive matches? Possibly the last injury crisis... Ashworth & JDC both started the two league games either side of the Blackpool cup defeat, if that counts. If on the other hand you include cup games, those two started the Luton reply and t...

I'd also have given Ramsay an opportunity today, with the added bonus of allowing JDC a rest but there we are.

I really hope Collins can get himself off the mark.
