Grecians Vs Gas: Match Day Thread

Why wouldn't any club take advantage of the loan system, as how else are we going to get players of the quality of EA, Vale and BA? We need to keep developing our contacts so we have a steady supply of such talent.

Absolutely and we might even have a goalkeeper that saves a penalty. What a novelty that would be

He seems to revel taking  copious selfies oiled up flexing his ‘toned physique’ mmmm he’s a strange one 🤔💙 💪 

Just got back...
From Ifollow.

Wow we break our Devon hoodoo!
In dogmatic, last gasp defending and stubbornness in performance.

I thought we played well.

I quite liked our starting line up, balance and players playing in their natural positions.

After starting by surrendering possession early doors, we settled (I don't know why?) and played some easy on the eye football and exhibited a smooth rhythm for the majority of first half.

The second half was more Exeter, credit on them (see what I done there!?) but I still think we helped them by defending too deep and retracting.... which leads us on to the last form of defence - Ward, again looking more than competent, made some fantastic saves (even giving the fist pump yay to see his heart is in it as much as anything else) and penalty box presence. Another excellent performance to suggest it wasn't beginners luck. Has the jersey for foreseeable for me....he looks like an imposing keeper we've been pleading for for years that isn't going to treat his jersey with nonchalance like Belly, but rather with respect.

I liked how Hunt managed to get himself into a couple of goalscoring positions.

I liked the running and time CM gave to the team.

I liked Crama being more masterful in his role.

I liked the covering Friend offered the mid and defence.

I liked Vale's confident passing and crossing.

I liked Conteh winning ball passing to player, he just never gives away possession.

But in particular, Aguero scoring a scorcher on debut, was my m o m..... oozed class, brilliant control on ball which appeared to give him more time and looked absolute quality. Settled in straight away, looks a real coup and exciting proposition....plus, must be up there somewhere with quickest time scoring on debut?

In conclusion.....
A great result and first time on long long while we keep a clean sheet, and see out a game from an early winning position.
Well done MT for exacting revenge for a few weeks ago where we just weren't good enough and propelling us into the top 10.
Nice one.

Mixed feelings as im bit disappointed Exeter didnt get a draw there but a great result for the gas.
Exeter on top early on and should have squeezed a goal or 2 and played some decent football.
The goal was indeed a cracker with nice positioning from the ref! The goal destroyed Exeter's momentum.
Rovers came into the game a lot more in second half and Exeter started to run out of ideas.
Despite the great saves from Wards and another crossbar hit I thought Rovers looked just as likely to get another as our defence started to messed about.
Chris Martin's late shot almost hit the Exeter drummer!
Dont really agree with the so called 'shithousery' 'anti football' comments, thought Exeter shot themselves in the foot with too much defensive play out from the back style when time was running out.

PS Apologies on behalf of most Exeter fans, that drum really annoys the f**k out of me!

PPS Gonna check the playoff odds!

I don't think that's an understatement as that's relatively what it means to us.

Imo, we also need to start building a proper academy and bringing through our own talent.

Watched on Ifollow. A couple moments for them... but I actually thought we limited them pretty well. Need to figure out those transistion moments- but that's where Finley/ Ward returning will be helpful. But for a brand new, pretty inexperienced that was good going.


Love beating Caldwell. He's a proper promoter of Banned word tactics.

Not easy when so many other clubs are "recruiting" in the local area.
