Exiles Thread.

Just putting this out here: is Graham actually that good? People constantly hyping him on here but all he ever does is whip in balls that are easily cleared. Have we ever scored from one of his crosses?

And why has Ollie O’Neil apparently regressed as a footballer since last season?

Man of the match should have gone to that Exeter bloke who got sent off for an outrageous challenge then pretended to be injured instead of going off. Ref had no control over this game whatsoever. Was amusing.

Graham looks finished to me. Was it him who just booted it into their keepers arms from the halfway line at the end?

O'Neill has gone from a player scoring almost every game last season to no threat at all.

Red card- just when you think you've seen it all, amazing.

So all the crap I’m taking over Kelman,(not good enough) Dan A ( not interested and looks like he wants away) Happe (sick note) Graham (sick note, one trick pony) O’Neill ( young kid not ready) yep I’ve got it all wrong I rest my case. Wellens also makes to many subs at once and ruins the continuity of the team every second half.

Exeter are one of the most dogsh!t teams I've seen in years and we're even worse, top stuff. Not that we were any good before then but RW's half time changes absolutely stuffed us.

Don’t agree That’s 4 clean sheets in a row for them . Can’t be that bad. We didnot know how to break through their defence .When we did our finishing was very poor.

I thought Exeter looked a decent side, certainly way better than Wrexham
Their ‘keeper, on loan from Palace, I think, was excellent and made two top saves.
Our finishing was poor, but they were far from Dogsh1t

Their keeper is too small to play at a higher level but yeah , didn’t put a foot wrong. That save at end from Kelmans header was top class.

Just back from the game. It's going to be a long hard season for fans. Back to the Orient usual for the last 55 years of my support, i.e. avoid relegation and that's a successful season. As for a top 7 place, which KT has said, in a set of programme notes, we are aiming for, I just don't see it at present with the way we are playing formation, style and player positioning-wise, though I will be happy to be proven very wrong.

Yes Exeter away last season - Piggott scored

Been very quiet for four games with no comment waiting to pounce. Pathetic.

What is Graham good at, crossing, what have we go tin the box, no-one above five foot five, makes no sense, Graham would be a dream for a Wrexham, Stevenage, Rotherham etc

Not the only one.

It's as if the last 4 games didn't ever happen.

You don't have to cross a ball in the air....

Also, you don't have to be taller than your opponent to win a header if the cross is put into the right spot.

One trick pony who runs at a player,step over,cross a high ball into the box to ???????

[DrWindy]

I think all the anger being shown here is a little over the top. I was up at 2am to watch the game over here and admittedly we weren’t great.

TJ and Happe out. Clare carrying an injury so left on the bench in the hope he wouldn’t be required.

Warrington and Ball were far from terrible. Galbraith once again put in a real shift.

Agyei being blasted for taking shots and trying to beat his opponent. That’s his job.

And now Graham out for almost a year being hammered because he’s off the pace. Of course he is.

A deep breath everyone. On another day we would have won that game very easily.

A bad day at the office.

We have a good team but it has no cutting edge . There's no point in playing lovely football if there's no end product . Only at Stockport did everything click together . I noticed from the last match programme that we have no number 9 . I know that was Pigott's shirt number but he's gone now never to return . He's now finished at Orient so we need a new number 9 . Somebody half decent who actually knows where the goal is . Unless we sign somebody who's unattached , we're obviously going to have to wait until the January transfer window opens to bring in a new striker

Don’t bank on it but a loan keeper is a possibility Red

This is true but the positions Graham was receiving the ball in meant that the deep high cross was the only option available to him as we weren't playing the ball in behind them at all and had no real opportunities for cut backs for either our forwards or midfielders arriving late. The 5-3-2 made us really easy to defend against.

Although he had a shaky start , I think Hemming is OK . We're not scoring goals , that's our problem . Peterborough , Wrexham and Exeter were there for the taking but we have no cutting edge .

[Chief crazy horse]

..and Wellens doesn't seem to address this? He's all midfield.(and stubborn)

A bad day at the office but as Richie said, still could have scored 4 or 5.

The problem is our only wins have come away from home. The fans spewing their bile are doing so because they've only seen 2 draws from the home games played so far.

If our home and away form was reversed, you wouldn't get this reaction.

[Dunners]

That was a decent smash and grab effort by Exeter, who made the best of their chances. We weren't terrible. It happens.

Yes we were simple as that.
