Exeter City - Nottingham Forest

[Salvatore Matrecano]

So to sum up after reading the thread we have a 23 man squad of which 11 of them are S**t yet we are third in the PL.

If that is not comedy gold then what is?

Whilst I agree some comments are over the top and some clearly made in the heat of disappointment at last night, saying people are calling half our squad shit is clearly an exaggeration. We learned a bit about some of our players last night, there is a reasonable debate here if anyone wants to have it.

For the record Sangare was superb first half, Sosa had a decent and busy game if somewhat frustrating at times. Toff is nobody’s first choice at CB but did a decent enough job, Taiwo got an excellent goal.

I think you complaining that people were amused at your complaining is pretty funny personally. It's football. Nothing is given. If it were then it would be boring as f**k. We got through and face another team. I fully expect Nuno to pick the same side against Ipswich possibly with Toff's moving to Eric's spot and moving Morato next to Boly.

We were fine first half and the rest was a bit of a nightmare but these things happen. Expecting to win and when things don't go to plan causing people to throw the baby out with the bathwater is pretty ridiculous. We have a good squad. Will we win it? Who knows. I am more nervous about making the Champs league spots and Taiwo's nose.

My teams in the past have come up against heavy favourites and won. Any team can win on their day. Over-reactions are just that. Over reactions. We are living vicariously through others anyway because if we could do it ourselves we would. I am happy to be a fan good and bad. This season has been a dream in comparison to the last two. Doesn't mean we are entitled to anything.


Chicago: Sensible Sally.

Im not complaining just having a debate and didn’t agree with our approach and wasnt surprised when it didn’t work. Its also reasonable to say to heck with the cup and the result, the most important thing is the league and protecting our players.
Both viewpoints are valid without anyone being called a cry baby.

Who you reckon the forward will be, if we do sign one ??

Nobody has to agree. Just don’t call it having a meltdown, comedy gold, cry babies etc when people are expressing a valid viewpoint.

Completely agree and you are spot on

I assume this is sarcasm then?

Nope, I agree with your stance, I said as much pre match.

Apologies got you mixed up, thought the post was from someone else who was having a go.

Did you go User? Be interesting to hear from someone who did. The away end would have got a pretty close look at Taiwo’s injury unfortunately.

I did mate but I’m not sharing my views here. 

Taiwo was about five yards in front of me when it happened. It was really strange to be honest, he was holding his arm out and his hand was shaking weirdly. 

He walked through the front of our stand afterwards and he looked out of it. Couldn’t seem to focus. 

Good job we have plenty of depth up front…

They do great Balti pies though.

Highly recommended

Nice to see everyone getting along nicely.

Does anyone know why the reserve team structure was sacked off for the U23s? I know we can play a couple but the set up isn't as good as it used to be 

It's such a shame we can't have 2/3 players playing in the reserves and sitting on the bench to keep them sharp. In my opinion Miguel needs to be playing in the U23s because it's a priority for our first team

Why didn't you tell us that in the first place?

Could have prevented all the squabbling.

I believe the PL thought there would be genuine TV interest in the "PL2" like there is in american sports.

This is nothing mate.

You should have been on here when we were bottom of the Championship!
