Match Thread Coventry City - Exeter City Match Thread - Saturday 23rd Sep (1 Viewer)

Could be an interesting game
With the form they're in they may come to attack which will be the first team to do this against us this season

2-0 win to us.

Granted that we normally play better against the teams at the top end of the table, I'm going to go for 1-0, Duck with his 3rd in 3.

A draw wouldn't be a bad result given their form, but a defeat would put us under a lot of pressure with the away game at Swindon just around the corner. 3 points may well give us the bit of belief to realise that we are good enough to challenge for the top 3. Huge game.

I see goals. Here there and everywhere.

2-2

I jus feel a comfortable win on this one.

1 -0 up at half time - concede in injury time and lose 1-2

if we turn up in the first half we can win this, I would love to see us go full on counter attacking and have Jodi Jones and Devon Kelly Evans as the two wide men instead of vincenti, but I cannot see Robins making this change. so hope Vincenti has a better game. i'm going for a 2-0 win, I am not to sure Exeter will come at us, I think they will recognise they have had a great start and an away draw at cov for them will keep them unbeaten and is a good result for them.

goalscorers: Nazon and Jones

we win 3-0

I'm confident of a win based purely on unfounded, mindless optimism.

If you go on form its a loss...but this is Cov we are talking about so...2-1 win

Exeter are better on the attack than they're defending, can't see Tis setting up to defend at the Ricoh as it don't suit them.

3-1 to the Sky Blues

If we score first we will win, if they score first we will lose

I think we will win this one 2-1. I'm hoping for a more open game with some good football by both sides.
We should know by the end of the game if we have realistic hopes of a top three finish

we will win because we are massive

2-1 to us. Concrete rod 20 yarder to win it

Obviously a tough game against the league leaders who have 3 wins and a draw from their away league games so far.
I think the occasion will inspire us, hope we can have a strong first half for once and be a goal or two up at the break.
2-1 win.
PS. Longest away journey for Exeter so far, maybe the horses will need rest and refreshment at Strensham?

with our injuries ect i cant see us winning 2-1 loss hope im wrong tho

Need to sort the shots on target conversion rates out if we start finding the back of the net its a beautiful win but as its Cov and history dictates we will lose

1 nil win.

and it would be a HUGE win in terms of confidence i feel. let the players know that even though they are not firing on all cylinders yet there are more than capable of being the very best team in this league

Win of course!

Think we will have learnt from the Newport game and might now go on an unbeaten run at home.

1-0.

When is McNulty back?

Any win will be great. Exeter are very good at this level we will need to be at our best methinks. It would be great for confidence if we can beat them, not sure it wouldn't push expectation levels too high again though!

Said 2-3 weeks didn't they, so maybe a week on Saturday perhaps.

According to Telegraph, Robins said they were hoping to have him match fit for the Chackatrade match v Walsall on 3rd October. I suppose that ideally he will probably play for the development team before that.

Our overall record against them is played 50, won 18, lost 19, drawn 13.
But we've won the last 3 home games against them.
Oddly enough our last home league game against them was also in Division 4, in 1958.
We won 2-0. Attendance back then was 14,576.

Can't see us losing this one.

They look to have some decent skillful players going forward from the highlights I've seen. Not a 'two big lumps up top' team like Notts County and Cambridge. Hopefully it will be a good game and we win 6-0. I'd take another win of any sort and the start of at least a 5 game unbeaten run.

Someone's in for a tonking soon, I believe that will be Exeter. 3-1 City win.

The sort of game where Willis will be useful with his pace to cover at the back then as opposed to his fragility in the air against Cambridge.

Need to start fast and score early. Really turn the heat up as they will have their tales up with the start they've had.

This one worries me so won't be giving my prediction.
But hope we win.

We've lost!

This definitely won't be an easy win. We need to make sure we don't fall into an 'its only Exeter' mindset and put in a tight professional performance.
