Can see them nicking a 1-0
Me too and everyone will be banging on about strikers but its the set up.. Gould is already at it, not strong enough, need to hold the ball up better blah blah. Why are we punting it long with the players we have on the pitch in the first place? Because we're so deep and not comfortable enough to play football on the edge of our own box. Driving me nuts. :)

Is it Devon or Dion?
How are we doing, I have no means to listen anymore. The stats say that we've had 5 shots to their 0, is that a reflection?

Playing ok without really looking threatening. Defence doing well...Exeter playing some nice football but defence snuffing it out when it gets to final third.

Decent half. 2 well organised teams trying to pass the ball cancelling each other out. You get the feeling they will score their first chance as we're just not creating enough.

Yep, everything has to go to Doyle then back to Willis and out to full back.

No through balls like we saw from Kelly for duck

Neither team really troubled

Other than a couple of shots towards the end for us correct.

Defence looks uncomfortable and the midfield can't move the ball at all.

Nazon is a strange player.

Probably be reid, can't believe he out paced Willis

Looking potent on occasion, but those occasions are a bit rare.

Exeter look organised, but have offered no threat at all. Not a single shot.

They are not coming out of their defence mode. We have to quicken up the pace and disturb their lines.

The Duck should have passed to Jones and we would be 1 up

I said it last week and got some stick, but I'm not sure what Biamou offers.

I appreciate he's young and raw, so I'm sure he'll come good, but would prefer to see Ponti, at least he's scoring, even if it's a lower level.
He hasn't really had much of the ball to see

Haven't checked the whole thread, but has it been mentioned as to Beavon's injury and what happened?

They are happy to keep their shape and soak it up, take the point and move on if the chance to win it pops up take it

Looks like they are making a change, can't really tell but think hes a striker. Hopefully won't change the game too much their way

Nazon holding the ball up well, but their defence can anticipate our attacks and we look slighty predictable. Missing that cutting edge. Not happy with dion in at cam, id have duckens in at cam, biamou up front with either mc nulty or pontcelli

We haven't had a single move through the middle of the pitch have we? Everything goes wide because the centre midfield are so deep and then it's easy to defend against. Our only regular hope is that Jones has a blinder and beats his man. I've not been very impressed by Biamou but I also don't think we're playing the way to get the best out of our strikers.

and again, Linell just said..."Biamou I find really dissapointing"

its like we are losing 0-4. We have kept it very tight v league leaders despite losing 2 of our main players during the first 15 mins of the game

City have had 7 shots to Exeters 0 and we only managed 1 shot on target... In some way this is awful stats. We have a squad that lacks any finishing
touches and its getting worse each game we play.

This is really worrying.
