Yep, really is. Big punch in the guts. When you're down you're down.

Still not a reason for cacked pants.

FAEN.

Oh well…

Another set piece goal, incredible

Haven't been able to string 2 passes together all game.

We can't rely on dragging the opposition down to our level

Looking forward to the NL forums again next year, they're quite fun.

Honestly if we don't get rid of jackett asap we are going down.

Story of the season unfortunately

That was going to be my quote for the game had we got the 0-0 we seem to had come for, no quality just trying to cling onto a stalemate. Surrendered too many good positions this season to play that game.

Down to 16th place and only 8 points from the relegation spot.

C'mon KJ (and big Nige) what are you going to do to arrest this slide?

No idea what the free kick was for, beckles is an idiot for that.

Then looks like Mitchell switched off again, responsible for the 3rd goal in 3 games.

Gutted, didn’t deserve that

Tuned in for the second half and literally all I’ve seen is 22 players unable to control the ball or pass it. Crap game, crap team, eff off.

Pretty much, apart from first 5 mins Exeter were really sloppy we had dragged them down to our level. Alas one good ball is all it takes.

You’re all about playing rough and smart ain’t ya? Thought that was the key to promotion?

What are we going to do to fix this? We played for a draw from the first whistle. We cannot rely on the teams below us to continue to be rubbish, as we've seen tonight.

I'm not cacking my pants yet (I know some boarders have a fascination with that) but I'm worried.

Another defeat that we've snatched from the jaws of a deserved point. We're looking at the other end of the table now. Injuries mounting and no confidence. Beginning of December I wouldn't have believed this would be the situation.

Scrappy game all round but we had 2 big chances in that game with Drinan and beckles header. Got to take those chances when we’re set up to dig in and stifle the game.

Didn't see rough and definitely not smart giving that foul away in the last minute. Midfield again absolutely dire.

That is proper dog dirt

Why are we playing with 4 centre backs when we have 2 proper full backs in Moss and Wood . ? We're putting Square pegs into rounds holes again when we don't need to .

On balance I’d say the formation and players in them worked quite well.

Improved performance & at least they showed some fight.
But if you're not scoring goals you will inevitably lose games.
Although effectively 9 points from 2nd bottom, our form is alarming. This can't carry on without action being taken. In my view KJ now needs to be replaced & definitely if we lose Sat.

When you play for a draw you’re always vulnerable, and these days 1 goal is all you need to beat us. It’s garbage.

Jackett has to go I’m afraid. 8 points away from the relegation places? Who can honestly say “we’re too good to go down”?
