Match Thread Away V Exeter City Saturday 6th February 1.00pm (with Poll)

I agree the lad Stevens showing little could T&S make a swap Stevens for Pritchard.

 

They are causing danger with that ball over the top of FCD it needs cutting out

 

Enjoyed that half. Second goal a complete gift but wasn't easy to convert and was a great reward for Crankshaw's fantastic run from deep.

We're giving them some problems with our pace but equally they have quality going forward.

Delighted for debutantes to score goals. Finally we seem to have a plan b and probably c!

 

If we switched Vernam to where Stevens is and put Rowe or Novak in then that would be much better.

 

I’m not sure Donaldson is the answer TBF

 

Footnote
Scunthorpe game off today carnt see us playing their Tuesday night.

 

He is the only player available who can hold the ball up

 

debutantes scoring, that'll be a lads vid then.

 

Tuesday will defo be off.

 

Vernham being asked be a back to goal target man - clearly not his forte.
I'd bring on the Don for Stevens, move Vernham left and Crankshaw right.

 

On paper yes, in reality he’ll just make more fouls and fall over a lot combined with missing open goals

 

I think Woods isn’t having his best game. Can’t seem to find his man when passing and getting caught in possession. Hopefully they’ll all be up to speed 2nd half.

 

I'll be surprised if he makes that change at half time, but your'e both right were not holding the ball up top.

 

15 years since 2 City debutants scored .

 

According to Jamie Raynor, its never happened before. That takes some believing, surely somewhere in our history, 2 summer signings have netted on the first day of a season?

 

Apparently 15 years ago v Forest. Billy Payne and Bruce Dyer according to Bantams Heritage on Twitter.

 

Callum Cooke looking more and more impressive.

 

I cant remember the last time we had 3 "exciting" players on the pitch at once.

No need for a hold up man yet, well on top now confidence is growing.

 

You should have seen some shambolic defending over the last few seasons by City surely. Losing count how many crosses, corners and free kicks we fail to defend properly over the last 3 seasons.

 

Cooke outstanding performance today
Covering every blade of grass.
