Can't wait for this, making a weekend of it with some family in Newton Abbott. A win would be a real statement of intent.
I'd be happy not to lose but again over the moon if we win if results go our way.
I can see him keeping it the same but maybe putting Burge back in depending on injury, looking forward to seeing how JMD does in League 2. If anybody in our team can get a goal out of Biamou would think it would be him judging by the Stoke game.
Stick Burge back in goal and then if Barrett is fit, maybe rest Shipley.

Wasn't there, Torch, so only judging on the TV highlights, where he seemed to make a few errors.I thought O'Brien did well.
I would still put Burge back in goal for this one too much rising on it 2-0 city winWasn't there, Torch, so only judging on the TV highlights, where he seemed to make a few errors.

I never looked on here or anything so didn't know Burge wasn't playing until we got to the Ricoh on Saturday. Why was O'Brien playing?
* Exeter got off to a blistering start in the League, winning 7 and drawing 1 of the first 8 games in the season before falling to their first defeat against us at the Ricoh.
* In their last 9 games they've won all their 4 home games and lost all 5 away games which has seen them slip out of the play off places.
* For those happy with a point, they've not had a draw at home this season W9 D0 L3
* Their home matches are usually low scoring affairs - they've kept clean sheets in 50% of their home matches, averaging just 0.92 goals conceded. The majority of those came in heavy defeats to Luton (1-4) and Notts County (0-3) who both scored in the first 10 minutes of the match.
* In attack, at home, they average 1.58 Goals scored per game but that is increasing - they have scored 2 goals in each of their last 4 home matches.
We've got into the habit recently of scoring early first half goals (4 goals inside the first 25 minutes in the last 6 games). If we can do that on Saturday we should have a comfortable game otherwise i feel it will come down to nicking a goal in the 2nd half when the game opens up.Great work with the stats. With this in mind, I’m backing us to win, they’ve lost badly to Notts County and Luton, and hopefully we have the edge after our tie at the RICOH. 2-0 to us, McNulty and Maguire-Drew.
Surely they want Exeter people to go in the home end.Exeter warning people not to go in the home end too!

Hopefully, we can keep our momentum and win at the weekend. At the very least we need to avoid defeat. Accrington have a game in hand and they score for fun, so it's vital for us to stay in the pack at the top. I liked the look of the new lad on Saturday, so hopefully he will add a new dimension to our game and get some crosses in.
I am desperate for Biamou to get a goal or two. He really deserves one. I reckon he was born on an ancient Indian burial ground or something.
I'm going for a win. Probably 1-0 with McNulty (who else?) getting the goal.
