And why has Ollie O’Neil apparently regressed as a footballer since last season?

Man of the match should have gone to that Exeter bloke who got sent off for an outrageous challenge then pretended to be injured instead of going off. Ref had no control over this game whatsoever. Was amusing.

Graham looks finished to me. Was it him who just booted it into their keepers arms from the halfway line at the end?

O'Neill has gone from a player scoring almost every game last season to no threat at all.

Red card- just when you think you've seen it all, amazing.

Don’t agree That’s 4 clean sheets in a row for them . Can’t be that bad. We didnot know how to break through their defence .When we did our finishing was very poor.

I thought Exeter looked a decent side, certainly way better than Wrexham
Their ‘keeper, on loan from Palace, I think, was excellent and made two top saves.
Our finishing was poor, but they were far from Dogsh1t

So all the crap I’m taking over Kelman,(not good enough) Dan A ( not interested and looks like he wants away) Happe (sick note) Graham (sick note, one trick pony) O’Neill ( young kid not ready) yep I’ve got it all wrong I rest my case. Wellens also makes to many subs at once and ruins the continuity of the team every second half.

Been very quiet for four games with no comment waiting to pounce. Pathetic.

You don't have to cross a ball in the air....

Also, you don't have to be taller than your opponent to win a header if the cross is put into the right spot.

Only at Stockport did everything click together . I noticed from the last match programme that we have no number 9 . I know that was Pigott's shirt number but he's gone now never to return . He's now finished at Orient so we need a new number 9 . Somebody half decent who actually knows where the goal is . Unless we sign somebody who's unattached , we're obviously going to have to wait until the January transfer window opens to bring in a new striker

Don’t bank on it but a loan keeper is a possibility Red

TJ and Happe out. Clare carrying an injury so left on the bench in the hope he wouldn’t be required.

Warrington and Ball were far from terrible. Galbraith once again put in a real shift.

Agyei being blasted for taking shots and trying to beat his opponent. That’s his job.

And now Graham out for almost a year being hammered because he’s off the pace. Of course he is.

A deep breath everyone. On another day we would have won that game very easily.

A bad day at the office.
