Exeter looked very shaky in defence. Irrespective of the pitch, or them scoring three, if Rowe had played we would have won that match.

 

This one:

 

Yes that one. Fantastic clearance.

 

In his interview Manager Duff agrees. Said they were fortunate to win with a poor performance and admits we are a lot better now, "top of the form table with some good signings". Apparently they may be missing 2 and although ok now if any more go down he may have to look at free agents.
Despite that they are a good team with a good recent record but not to be feared.

 

We shouldn't fear any team in this league. I think that is what has changed in recent months. We finally are getting to a place in which we should be.

As a club we need to get fans feeling that a draw is a defeat and not acceptable. Until we reach that point in div 2 then we could struggle.

We shouldn't be scared of any team in this division. The amount of times I read for example @Park bantam saying this will be a tough game etc just highlights to me that in his head he lacks confidence in the team/squad.

Things are improving but winning should be expected.

 

Totally missed my point mate. Read @Faithful Bantam post below yours to understand it.

It's about building a winning winning mindset with the owner, CEO, Directors and more importantly fans. We are not there yet being able to do this is a key to success.

We shouldn't fear any team.

 

Spot on. This will be a tough game and we may come away with nothing. But we’re capable of going there and winning. We’re capable of beating any side in this division. We’re seeing a more positive, forward thinking and ambitious mindset from the club. We need to echo it. I want us to go out on the front foot, take the game to Cheltenham and come away with 3 points. But if we don’t then we’ll learn from it and it’ll shape our approach for upcoming games and next season.

 

That reminds me, I need to go to Morrisons for some essential shopping, Saltaire Blonde!

 

You know @Fordy117, you talking some real sense today.

 

You are right, he's not. He's saying we are now in a position where, as fans, we should be going into every game thinking we can win it rather than expecting to win it, and he's right.

I think we can win today and I'll be disappointed with a draw unless we are losing with ten minutes to go and pull it back. thats what I view as a "winning" draw.

Cheltenham are good, their league position shows that, but we are just not the team we were in November and going there and winning is very much a possibility.

 

Today, Rod, I have a bottle of Saltaire Blonde for the first half and a bottle of Landlord for the second. After that there is half a bottle of South African Malbec to clean the palate with tea.

Amazingly, and this is a real first, the other half we to Morridogs yesterday with a comprehensive list - bring me back any two of the seven listed (Which were Saltaire Blonde, Titus, Citra or Amarrillo, Timmy's Landlord, Boltmeker or GB) and she managed to pull off the totally unexpected and adhere to the request. Shame she then let herself down by saying they had Titus and she hadn't got it.

Good beers today, must mean a win, surely.

 

I'm on the common muck today... Amstell.

 

Could have sworn the title of the thread is "Away V Cheltenham Saturday 20th February @ 3.00pm".

 

Who’s this away you support ?

 

Oh dear, you've just lowered the tone there.

 

I'm from Queensbury, we drink lager from champagne flutes up here. Once we've stopped supping cider straight from the bottle anyway.

 

Probably the first decision T&S have made that I’d really question. Unless he’s genuinely not 100%.

 

Fishy tactics. Could be a good move. Let Cook do the donkey work for an hour then batter them with a bit of (Cod) Roe after an hour. They will be all over the plaice by the time he comes on and gives them a good sturgeoning.

 

Cook starting makes sense to me.
The long throws are a big part of Cheltenham's game.
Cook is a big unit.
Expect Rowe to get more match minutes second half.
