It was Warrington but I can accept that, at least he got forward and tried to make something happen in that moment,LPE wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 9:25 amWarrington.Give it to Jabo wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 9:12 am Agree, we did need a calming influence last night.

I agree Perkins isn't good enough and I think DJ is injured at the moment .The Reverend wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2024 11:08 pmI note that you don’t disagree with my assessment of any of these players….
Galbraith did smash one over the bar from even closer range on SaturdayGive it to Jabo wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 10:14 am Thanks for the clarification, I thought Galbraith was a cut above that...
I can accept players having a shot and missing . At least they are having a go . It's all the fancy football when in good positions that then fizzles out to nothing that I find irritating.Hoover Attack wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 9:27 amIt was Warrington but I can accept that, at least he got forward and tried to make something happen in that moment,LPE wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 9:25 amWarrington.Give it to Jabo wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 9:12 am Agree, we did need a calming influence last night.

We had a couple of corners which were within seconds back in our keepers hands, Wellens goes on about “not clinical enough in the final third “ and our play isn’t Penetrating enough,thought that was what the coaches were for? To many back and sideways passing, keeping possession all well and good butRedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 10:53 amI can accept players having a shot and missing .

the only time we look dangerous is when Galbraith gets in the final third.Total overreaction because home fans haven't seen a win yet, that's the crux of it.Scuba Diver wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 12:30 pm
We need more guile, and to be more clinical for sure, but I don't think the players deserve the lambasting they are getting in some posts on here.
I think some posters are losing sight of how good Exeter were last night.Hoover Attack wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 12:39 pmTotal overreaction because home fans haven't seen a win yet, that's the crux of it.Scuba Diver wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 12:30 pm

It's only you that's making it a ' total overreaction ?' Just another one of your exaggerations..all this about 'spewing bile' nonsense.Hoover Attack wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 12:39 pmTotal overreaction because home fans haven't seen a win yet, that's the crux of it.Scuba Diver wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 12:30 pm

It is weird that home games get 10x more posts than away games. It’s almost like 10x more people go to home games compared to away ones….Chief crazy horse wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 2:57 pm No it's not - don't encourage him. So what that there's 10x more posts. We lost at home to an average Exeter side. And we failed to score yet again. Normal reaction, nothing like 'spewing bile'.

We win, no one extrapolates from that we are going up, that our summer business was brilliant, that Ling and Wellens are geniuses etc, everything is rosy etc.Chief crazy horse wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 2:57 pm No it's not - don't encourage him.

Especially the RW rating . Trying to make championship players from div 3or 4 players . Too much to ask .Adz wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 12:00 am My ratings
Hemmings 6 - couple of great saves, one flap that went unpunished
Brown 5 - average, wild shots were never going to trouble the keeper
Beckles 7 - motm played the ball out well from the back and defended well
Simpson 5 - alright as a centre half 2, rubbish as a left 3/ left back
Currie 5 - saw a lot of the ball, didn't do much with it
Warrington 5 - played alright, not sure why he was subbed at half time
O'Neill 3 - completely anonymous
Ball 4 - lots of fouls, not a lot else
Galbraith 5 - buzzed around used the ball well generally, missed some good opportunities though
Kelman 4 - not very good, no killer instinct when given a chance
Agyei 5 - in the left backs pocket when on the right, better through the middle but lacked a bit of quality
Cooper 2 - appalling, really not seen much worse than that for years
Clare 6 - excellent, dropped too deep to get the ball for my liking, but may be down to the setup
Perkins 4 - anonymous
Graham 3 - won't run at defenders anymore making him useless
Donley 5 - nice touches, intelligent runs but no one in the team is able to see them.
Richie 3 - changed structure about 4 times and the players liked confused. I think he's asking too much of them and they're not good enough. Needs to simplify things.
Still not that much out of the ordinary though. And certainly not 'spewing bile'Mistadobalina wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 3:21 pmWe win, no one extrapolates from that we are going up, that our summer business was brilliant, that Ling and Wellens are geniuses etc, everything is rosy etc.Chief crazy horse wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 2:57 pm No it's not - don't encourage him.

We lose, plenty extrapolate that we are f*cked, that our recruitment is flawed from top to bottom, that Ling is useless, Wellens overrated etc. You see endless loads of posts like that.
I'm confident we'll have a mid table season, which would be fine with our budget, and am not going to start seeing one off games as evidence we are structurally doomed.
