I'd rather lose an end to end donger 0-2 than that drudge we got today. Completely agree, it's no more entertaining than other managers we've had. Only Evatt tells us it is?? Is like Allardyce in reverse, then we played much better football than we were perceived to.
August 31, 20241 yr It was a point made earlier but there were 22,000 there today and attendances like that surely won't continue if we keep putting in these kind of performances

It's a great initiative. But have we ever won one .

We weren't scoring and we were bringing 11 back at corners without marking anyone to maximise Exeter's chances of scoring. It feels like it doesn't matter who IE picks where, this team doesn't have goals in it currently. Well yes. How can I disagree or argue, you are just stating an after match fact, I was making a pre match prediction. 2 completely different posts! The only factual thing I will pull you up on was I had Schon on the bench I didn’t ignore/forget him

I've said on record I wouldn't have lost a seconds sleep had he gone and the last thing anyone needs is a toxic environment and division in the stands. Some can't wait for it to go belly up. Hence posters calling out previous defenders of Evatt the moment the shit hits the fan. If we are heading towards a Freedman type environment with a stubborn manager and horrendous match going environment then end it now for me. Correct, we dont want that shit again, but, unfortunately, that the way its going to go unless something changes. What that change is only time will tell. I cant even remember the last time we failed to score in three league games on the bounce?

Watched from the bench essentially second half then fucked off at full time. He was either very angry, or completely fed up. Or both.
August 31, 20241 yr Terrible result. Most of the team were anonymous. So was our manager. When he should have been on the touch line shouting instructions to try and get us back into the game he vanished.

He will die on his sword make no mistake. Entering the depths of winter with a half empty toxic ground is making me feel ill. I'll go but I'm not having the kids about shit like that.

August 31, 20241 yr Quote "It was below our level, below our standards,” he said. “We lack rhythm at the moment, we look tired, fatigued." Can anyone tell me what his standards are? For me we looked no different than our last 30 odd games I think the tiredness is mental fatigue thinking about what role they have to play in what system

About 4 of the fuckers couldn’t manage it and Dempsey barely reached the fucking box.

And yet he’s taking frigging corners?!

We would probably have lost anyway, but still a bizarre decision IMO to rest our best striker and I'm not being wise after the event. If McAtee has come in to replace Collins, that's only going to weaken us for me. Given that Charles doesn't seem to have a goal in him at home, its a head scratcher for Collins to be 4th choice striker today. And as for Vic, good to see he's improved this season 😕
August 31, 20241 yr Popular Post Seriously, he’s reached his level. He’s been outthought by lots of other coaches from teams with a fraction of our budget. Can’t really add to that, it’s a bit basic, Sharon? Edited August 31, 20241 yr by Steejay

August 31, 20241 yr Has Sharon booked his taxi yet? Was willing to give him 8-10 games. But something needs to change very quickly.

They have scored two set pieces, one brilliant free kick and a corner, and the second one in particular hurts because we didn’t give ourselves a chance to build any momentum second half." hmmm Set piece goals still count (we're certainly shit at scoring from corners) and Exeter had two chances in the second half which were as good as any we created. The better team won.

It could have been Baxter taking it and its still no excuse putting it behind for a goal kick. The quality of our set piece delivery absolutely beggared belief today, I genuinely don't get how we so poor at just delivering a ball into the box, you'll see better in parks football.
