Have you just realised this ?

Players bollocking Burge as he almost cocks up again

Closed down quickly after taking a touch, poor clearance and Stokes has to foul his man to stop a chance at goal

O'Brien on at half time!

The whole defence look like they've never played football before.

Stern telling off is required!

Over to you Robins

Poor Max is the Rufus Smalls to our own Mike Bassett.

I was more living in hope then expectation.

Wish people would lay off Biamou. It's not helpful. Not like he's playing badly, just needs a goal.

never mind MR urging fans to turn up on match day. He has 15 mins to get his players to turn up !

I think the fans have been very patient and supportive

I'd bring Barrett on on the left, or put JMD on the left and Barrett on the Right.

I like having wingers who can cut in to take shots. So I'd give Shipley 10 mins second half, then he's out for Barrett.

When it's costing us points so often in a promotion chase then maybe we need to be a bit ruthless.

Possibly our best player of first half even

The two Exeter centre backs are awful. Need to get them isolated more. Maguire-drew has been very wasteful with possession. He should keep it simple and play footy with McNulty and Bayliss instead of looking for the dream pass. Hope Bayliss runs with the ball a bit more 2nd half too as the space opens up, he was neat and tidy that half without ever really being dangerous.

The fans have given max biamou so much time to adapt and start producing , I want him to do well but he’s not doing it end of story .
I hope to god he proves me wrong in the second half

If I bought a chicken I would a least expect to lay an egg now and then, it can cluck all it likes but an egg is NEEDED!

What's the pitch like today, it's been poor in previous weeks tho better than the Ricoh

He's not costing us points, he makes us a better team. He gives McNulty the opportunity to to what he does best rather than trying to do the donkey work too.

He still contributes well to our overall play despite not scoring. It wasn't long ago that McNulty was getting abuse.

I wouldn't have said the Biamou miss was a sitter either. By the time he reached the ball the keeper was right on top of him.

He is producing, just not scoring. He needs a goal but he also deserves his place in the team. We've been better with him in.

Like a ploughed field. Players slipping like they’re on ice.

It doesn't look great but it seems to playing ok. Only really bobbly around the penalty spots in each box.

Fans are dumb sometimes. His position says striker so if he isn't scoring at a 20 goals a season rate he isn't playing well.

I tell you how it is, everyone is entitled to have an opinion , but people are not entitled to make up their own facts !! Fake news I am afraid.

ccfcway said:

O'Brien was removed after the 2nd mistake and has only played cup games since

Click to expand...

Yeah okay is there a point to that?
If a keeper makes 2 mistakes in the first 4 games? How can they not be dropped?

Burge made one about 16 matches ago? And has now made a second? Big difference

One would be a bonus.......

BBC stats suggest we are the better team in both possession and shots

You're entitled to your opinion, even if it is wrong. How many bad games have you SEEN him play?

Stood on the home end no theat at all first half
