Some excellent play here. Donley’s pass for the second goal is unreal. Clare’s goal is a beauty, as is Donley’s. The two goals we conceded were really poor, but we can overlook that I think.

Donley's pass for our second goal and his goal were amazing . This lad is destined to play in Tottenham's first team .

The take and the inch perfect pass for our third goal from Donley are just as amazing.

Their second should have been disallowed. Donley's pass for the second goal should win some kind of award and the interplay between Currie and Abdulai for the 5th was sensational, particularly since the latter has only been here a week.

Keeley was clearly impeded and got nowhere near the ball, but it was still a soft goal to concede.

Impeded? Their bloke had locked his arms. Awful refereeing.

I don't know if anyone else noticed it or not but their second goal was definitely a foul on the keeper and should have been chopped off. And where was flappy Keeley for the first?

Also I see Kelman missed a sitter. I just hope he was watching our hatrick hero closely and hopefully learned enough to do better next time.

Overall some clever passing, clinical finishing and cracking goals. 9.6 over 10.

Champagne football!

I was half tempted to drive 4 hours each way last night, but told myself not to be stupid. Who’s the silly billy now, eh?

I was talking more about the obvious two-handed shove in the back on Cooper to give himself the space for the header.

Should have gone with your initial thought because, trust me, this rich vein of form won't last.

Wasn't the push on Happe?

To be fair to Happe, he had only come on the pitch unexpectedly 1 minute earlier

Looks like we need another centre half in pronto
Might have to forget another forward , Abdulai ain’t doing a bad job of sticking it in the net
And another winger, we do seem to get through them.
Hopefully Markanday isn’t too bad

Yes unfortunately, that's how it goes.. what will be a choker though, is if we keep this run of form going, make the play offs with ease and then miss out at the final hurdle..

I just wonder why Exeter haven't got a defence. If other teams defend like they did, we'll be top by the end of the season.

Yes, and I can't ever remember a player receiving the ball in so much empty space when Abdulais scored his second goal.

Most of them are injured.
