[Sid Bishop]

Plenty of time left in this game to turn it around, don't give up just yet !

[essexfootball]

Viggo is absolutely head's gone this game

[BiggsyMalone]

The midfield is completely missing. Still waiting to see the player Wycombe fans told us we were getting in Freeman.

Him, Kemp and Abrahams haven’t improved us at all

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Our best midfielder is our manager

[EliotNes]

Exeter are faster than us. How many times have I written that about the opposition, this season. Too many times.

[Fanny]

Everyone getting hyped after scraping a 1-0 against the team bottom of the football league.

This, my friends, is what we call a reality check.

The cheap option won’t pay off. Until this club hires an actual football manager we are going nowhere.

[Eat The Rich]

Our best midfielder is our manager

and he's not even on the subs bench. That is the one downside of Jobi getting the job. Clay needs to find his mojo because he's been coasting for months and months. He doesn't win the ball, he doesn't take up dangerous positions, he doesn't run with the ball, he doesn't play dangerous passes, he doesn't make assists, he doesn't score goals. At best clay offers himself as a safe passing option for the those around him but our momentum just fizzles out around him. Be something. Do something. Make a difference.

[Beradogs]

Can’t believe Exeter are outside the play offs. Really enjoying watching them play. Us, on the other hand.

[essexfootball]

Need to play and press higher

[gshaw]

This game showing what we need in summer, a Vincelot / Dawson to dominate midfield. Haven't got the legs in there.

Give Kyprianou a go for Cissé, can't do much worse. Freeman also deserves to be hooked for this half, very poor.

[o-no]

Just endless hopeful punts half the length of the pitch.

Hotdogs rates Freeman. He has been awful since joining us.

[Mistadobalina]

Getting a reminder as to why Turley hasn't played much. Decent squad option but his distribution is appalling. 50/50 as to whether he gives it away and it invites so much pressure.

[gshaw]

Got in behind Akinola again, relief that Vigoroux makes the save this time. Needed that to steady his nerves.

[EastDerehamO]

Exeter are simply quicker to everything, closing us down, feels like we're playing to keep the score down.

[Wally Banter]

The way we’re set up, and the personnel we’ve got on the pitch, just seem so unbalanced and dysfunctional. Really hope Jobi is willing to make some radical changes to the way we play.

Tbf midfield is giving him nothing to work with, they've been invisible much of this half.

Johnson doesn't look the same player since returning from injury. I'd give Abrahams a go.

3-0 now

[Orient Punxx]

Are we Grimsby in disguise?

[Thor]

Exeter are a decent side. Questions need to be asked about the marking for both goals as whilst the keeper should have saved both you could make a case that it shouldn’t have got to him.

Too many long aimless and hopeful long balls where we don’t have an outlet to receive. All we end up doing is conceding the ball to Exeter who are running us ragged.

[i8ubutler]

Oh holy crap.

[Thor]

3-0 poor defending once more

[Beradogs]

That goal was the nuts. From back to front.

[CharlieO]

Bearing in mind our obvious deficiency is a dearth of players willing to press, close down, mark, go into contact, ie doing the L2 things even Embleton started commenting on, signing those two pathetically effete players was a risible recruitment decision.

[BiggsyMalone]

Defence is all over the place.

[RedDwarf 1881]

We're getting absolutely mullerard . 3-0 . Can we please finish the game now before we're hit for six.
