    A decent, if unspectacular start. Defensivley solid, did the ugly stuff well, good shape and a couple of bright moments with the ball. And both full backs look solid additions. On the downside we still look toothless. Let's hope that improves, but I think we need more attacking quality.

    His 2 big moments he fluffed. Better than Guthrie, though thats not hard. We need more quality up front though.

    Would have liked to have seen Eisa for a bit, had a good scoring record last season, Gilliead and Angol did not.

    Pace often is the difference and can break deadlocks in tight games especially if direct,

    Listening in from ifollow takeaways

    If their fullback Keys is worth £1m I am a banana
    Exeter looked like a team of journeymen who will ALWAYS get opportunities

    Us.
    Plenty of skill but a rushed end product
    RoD did nothing wrong other than completely flapped at a cross ( What’s new!) on 86mins and frankly they should have scored from it.
    Another cross from the right left by their forwards should have won them the game on 87

    Takeaways on our chances
    Easier to score than miss from their keeper double save.
    Header from Cook off the line
    Our approach play couldn’t break down a 5 man defence no matter how neat and tidy
    Angol instead of trying the “ blast” should have given our guys a cross
    Vernham a real threat when we went 352.

    Gilly no real threat
    our MoM ……….. probably …..Cooke

    Personally, I thought we were the better side today. Thought we created the better chances (until that last minute howler), defended better and played with more intensity. Biggest concern was how wasteful we were in front of goal, Angol especially. Good performance for the opening day.

    Huge worry about striking back up. At 70 mins I was looking for the Don to come on,
    Has to be be a priority transfer, especially if he’s going to start both our strikers from the off.

    Seems the striker off the bench is what we’re missing , hopefully accelerate progress on that.
    No Staunton on the bench either. Thought he might be due versitallity

    Staunton could be in trouble under Adams. Can't see where he fits.
