Match Thread FA Cup - Home v Exeter Sat Nov 6th @ 3.00pm

We only drew?
Listening to Kiwomya, I thought we'd won 4-1.
Oh....replay it is then.

 

The Adams training regime might be the answer.
Cook didn't even make it to matchday.
@SimonW should start the next injured player will be sweepstakes never mind a prediction league.

 

Did Adams get his 10,000 crowd?

 

Did you go? We battered them. Should have been 4-5.

 

Well he wouldn't with a hamstring injury would he ?.

 

Chances don't win games Dave no team has ever got promoted by having a record number of chances
Cook will be a miss he seemed ok after the last game must have happened in training

 

Yet we drew again !!!!

 

Same old story. This will be the tale come end of season if only.

missed chances and then the sucker goal. Two lame challenges and the lad danced through for a soft goal.

it’s going to be a long sorry season

 

Adams was right though. We battered them. It’s frustrating we aren’t putting teams away but the performance was very good.

 

We're never on top..

Here's a question for you to answer.. how many clean sheets have we had this season.

I apologize for not being impressed with what I've seen from our team or manager! So far.

He was quoting the situation as he saw it, he can only pick players he believes will do the job I don't see why him being honest needs to be questioned when fans who attended were quoting exactly the same, it will come mate.

 

As I posted earlier no team gets promoted by battering the opposition and only drawing
Yes it's frustrating but happening too often to be coincidence (same as hamstring injuries)

 

Without a cup windfall I doubt they’ll be any major signings in January.
We played a full strength team today with the intention of getting through to the next round. It’s highly likely that we’ll lose the replay

 

Hope so
However it's fast becoming a reoccurring theme

 

It is the history of the Tottenham Bantams...

I do not think anyone was shocked when Exeter equalised. The players they waste chances as if they are paid extra to do so. Bristol Rovers, FGR, now today. It is in their DNA I am sure. I used to worry about throwing the game away, it was a worry - now it is the inevitable. Good teams hang on and find a way to win, we are the opposite. I am not saying we play bad football. We create the chances but that is all they are. We score 1 in 20 of them.

For this the team have my support but not my optimism

 

You assume wrong.

 

Liverpool battered Utd last week. I'd say Man City also battered Utd this afternoon. Utd didn't have a look in (maybe the shots on target stat is similar to us v Exeter today). The difference is, that City and Liverpool battered them, and took their chances in order to do so. "Battering a team" with regards to possession and shots on target only, unfortunately doesn't win games. I'm really fed up hearing about all this "on a good day we'd have beaten them 4-5 nil". "we had so many chances, next game we'll take them". As I've said before, it's like me when I was seventeen years old saying I chatted up so many girls in the club, but didn't take any of them home (well, I was still living with my parents, but you know what I mean).

 

These players are not missing them on purpose Steve, of course its frustrating but surely you'd agree not making chances would be even more worrying ?.
Andy Kiwomya commenting on the injury situation and as he says it not over training because the data they get back say that isn't the case.

 

Very good performance and game, but very disappointing result. So many chances wasted, Threlkeld missed two sitters to put the game to bed. Sutton and Robinson hit the woodwork, both on the volley though not easy chances. Watt and Vernam also forced very good saves out of their keeper which was unfortunately all he had to do except pick the ball out of his net.

So many of these chances are clear cut it’s just not good enough. But thought the booing at the end was very poor, the team gave 100% and were the better team against a team who haven’t lost in something like 14 games.

The ref was really good today, could have done with him last week…
