Re: Exiles thread - Exeter (A)
This as I was saying throughout November that we were in a relegation battle. I’m happy that situation is not the case today.
Also sorry for criticising RW’s style of play.

Re: Exiles thread - Exeter (A)
I seriously cannot understand how Donley has transformed from hopeless to somebody who might have a genuine shot at making the Spurs first team squad in the near future. What on earth have Richie and the coaching team said to the boy? It’s utterly remarkable.

Re: Exiles thread - Exeter (A)
RW said in an interview words to the effect that he "put it on him and questioned him" which sounds like he got a kick up the backside he needed to get stuck into men's football. Massive change in his game and attitude from the early appearances.The Reverend wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2025 8:18 pm I seriously cannot understand how Donley has transformed from hopeless to somebody who might have a genuine shot at making the Spurs first team squad in the near future.

Re: Exiles thread - Exeter (A)
Perfect example of why we make teams look average. Watch out press spring, they boot the ball, we win it back, donley makes a run and one pass we are in. Superb

Re: Exiles thread - Exeter (A)
Guess he was just a kid getting up to speed with pro football. I didn't see it coming at all but shows why you have to be patient with young loanees. His passing range is ridiculous and the two new guys are giving runs behind the back line for him to pick out..The Reverend wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2025 8:18 pm I seriously cannot understand how Donley has transformed from hopeless to somebody who might have a genuine shot at making the Spurs first team squad in the near future.

I’d be very tempted to take off Kelman, prat’s and Galbraith to rest them and donley after about 60 if we are still comfortable
