Yeeesh Jobi leaves Cissé on and puts Brophy back to LB *facepalm*

[BiggsyMalone]

Let’s see how much the ‘just give it a go’ crowd are into that with this sub at 3-0 down against a very good team.

McAnuff has basically turned into Embleton. Pathetic.

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Missed the first half hour. What the hell happened?

Halftime sub, Wilkinson replacing Widdowson at left back

Vigoroux threw two into his own net pretty much

[Eat The Rich]

Jobi, Jobi, Jobi.

Here we go again.

[gshaw]

Penalty Exeter

[i8ubutler]

Oh Christ.

[BiggsyMalone]

Happe and Akinola’s confidence and form has all but disappeared recently

[RedDwarf 1881]

Completely outclassed. We have not strung 2passes together. Our middle three of Cisse Freeman and Clay not in the game at all passing from all 3 has been horrendous. Worst display for many years. We are worlds apart from Exeter . Not one player is in the game. Poor DJ is completely isolated. Manager needs to give them all a rollicking. We need more than 5 subs on to keep the score down below 5.

It does make me wonder if whether Cisse , Freeman and Clay want to be here .

[Eat The Rich]

Not one positive from today. Not one.

[Wally Banter]

Nightmare game, this is. Soul searching time for the players and staff.

[essexfootball]

Hasn't happened much this season but this winger is abusing akinola for pace

[Admin]

Lovely play from their forwards leading to the penalty. They’re different class to us.

[gshaw]

Akinola having as bad a day as Vigoroux.

Tbh we deserve that for the HT substitution, talk your way out of that one Jobi

[ComeOnYouOs]

ATM, Jobi is just a continuation of Ross........he's playing the same formation, in the same way.....Why did the club get rid of Ross?
I expected more from jobi, not a Embleton mark 2

[Beradogs]

Ling is coming on. We are saved!!

Brophy is a left back, deal with it.

[Thor]

Akinola as a centre half was superb when he was played there. Today he been involved with 3 of the 4 goals, he is not a full back. Put him back where he belongs.

Why bring off Joe? Doesn’t make sense.

We have within 2 games tried to change our style of play, football doesn’t work like that, we will be lucky to keep it to 6 today.

But take nothing away from Exeter they have been superb today, possibly the best side I’ve seen this season based on the performance I’m watching.

[Eat The Rich]

Jobi made a big point of saying that he wanted to make us hard to beat... might I suggest that the best way to do that might be to attack? Trying to hold out for a 0-0 or 1-0 doesn't seem to suit us at all.

It’s not the same.

[Sid Bishop]

In the name of fairness Akinola at RB has been shocking today.

I'd rather see us now try out a new formation and sod it whether we lose 6-0 rather than trying to close the game down and keep it at 3-0. Win the second half as the old cliché goes.

Agree, I would change to 4-4-2 and go for it, what is the point of just playing to keep the score down ! I rate Kyprianou, I would sooner him than Ciss'e in central midfield. Also bring on Abrahams to play alongside DJ. I would also switch Turley to right back and play Akinola in the central defence. Lastly give Wilkinson a go in his favoured position of right wing instead of Kemp.

Absolutely this, weak mentality - talked the talk but when it comes to it just following the same old same old

[HenleyO]

We are a million miles away from “making the play offs”
Clear out needed.

[Story of O]

Ling double hat trick?
