What a strange team.
Oh well COYO'S.

Doesn't say much for the likes of Moss and Sweeney when the manager would rather start a CB in the full back position. This is going to be... interesting

Good evening from Cardiff. It would be great if we got something from this game but that is extremely unlikely.
The selection of 4 Centre backs is worrying & doesn't make any sense at all. I fear the worst tonight - a real thumping.
If Exeter score the first goal it's virtually game over.
I think KJ is running out of time.
COYO'S.

This must be the ultimate kick in the teeth for a player, more so someone like Moss who has just joined from a team where he was playing week in week out, was probably promised playing time at a higher level

We have Moss and Wood fit and available and Kenny starts with two centre backs as full backs . What is going on ?

Very odd line up. One of the big issues at the start of the transfer window was to find a replacement for James. But it seems we prefer to play a centre back there rather than either Moss or Khan. I wonder if we might finally see Reilly at some stage? And is Fish now ahead of Nkrumah? And whatever has happened to Papadopoulos who looked OK earlier on in the season? Who knows?

This time last year Ross had more points on the board and was sacked . You can draw your own conclusions .

From kick off looks like 4-4-2 but Thomson at RB, not Mitchell

Massive save from.Vigoroux already 1v1 after a ball over the top. Exeter all over us early on.

So Happe's at left back when we have Connor Wood . The only reason that makes any sense to me is do we have players out ill with covid .? I know Archibald and Coleman were left out on Saturday due to illness and were going to be tested.

Hell of a save.

Where would we be without him?

We're there for the taking and they know it .All they have to do is score one goal and they've won.

Oldham 1-0 up
As it stands at 0-0, we are now Only 9 points from safety

Thompson off injured

No Archibald as well

This looks like it could be a long night

He's out with illness .

Thompson not injured after all, commentators reckon it may have been a little bit of gamesmanship to break up the play. He definitely made the "sub me now" gesture but back out there seemingly fine.

At the beginning of the season I didn't think we'd have relegation fears .

Thompson was gesturing to tape his fingers up. No gamesmanship, he went off when we were defending a set piece.

We’re playing 4-1-3-2, Hector deep behind a narrow 3 of Khan, Prat’s and Young

No plan whatever so ever, matter of time before they score

Feel sorey for the players, long ball to nouble who isn't any good

Their play is light years better than ours. We look like statues.

They're getting a lot of joy down the side against Happe, a matter of time before they create another good chance from there. Vigs gonna have to have a MOTM performance to keep us in it.

Well let’s all hope that kenny can turn this around

We have players playing out of position and it shows . Unless it's due to injury or illness Kenny is to blame .
