Match Thread Most liked posts in thread: Away v Exeter City @3.00pm Sat Aug 7th

Just finished watching the game. Both teams would have been justifiably disappointed had it not been a draw as it was a decent and even contest. We should have been 1-0 up with 2 mins as the cross from Angol to Cook should have been a goal. Cooke’s shot for the double save from the keeper in the first half and should have tested the keeper better.

Second half Exeter will be really disappointed they didn’t score the chance at the end.

On the whole I can understand why Adam’s is happy. Thought all new signings looked an improvement on last season and at a early stage we just generally looked a stronger outfit. Specifically Gillead and Angol played well and though Vernam was a threat when he came on.

Not really a great deal else to say which i suppose is ok. Lots to be optimistic about. Looking forward to the next game.....

 

Only based on their previous achievements. Roughly half of their side today are new signings, so where they finished last season is only partially relevant. Either way, its a decent start and something to build on.

 

Has anyone actually said that on here though, or are you making things up again?

 

We also had plenty of newcomers in the side until we are well into the season and we see what teams are doing what we have no idea whether it was a point gained or two lost. What I do know it’s never an easy place to go and win

 

2 tickets bought.

Can't wait!!!

 

I wouldn’t put Songo’o back in so soon Park if it means a risk. Remember we did it before and look how that went. It’s a long season and in terms of game time he’s has far less than the rest. So hold fire?

 

From the Exeter forum:

I hope anyone travelling down from Yorkshire leaves very early.The M5 from J15 at Bristol is solid down to the Tiverton(J27) turn off on a Saturday at the moment.

Any Bantams reading this,allow a extra 3 hours minimum for your journey.

 

Sutton for Song'o and I would agree. I cannot see Songo'o being ready to step straight into starting line up.

 

Pizza Delivery?

 

Dieng isn't a bad signing for them.

 

Christ.

I forgot how annoying Kiwomya is when you can't see the pictures.

"Goal" he shouts. Despite no goal actually being scored.

 

We look very attacking. Kiwomya is going to have to have a pacemaker fitted this season. So many “nearly goals” already.

 

We've created enough decent chances, the old adage in football if you don't take them you don't win.

 

Not many teams will nil Exeter at home this season. Good solid performance.

 

Thought it was a decent game lacking in quality in the final third, we lost a lot when Cooke had to go into the midfield two instead of Sutton. Songo’o will be a big help.

 

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.

 

OK I found it.

 

Question is who knows most ? The Exeter manager or @Fordy117

 

Me!!

I don't dress it up. Him and Adams saying things to please the fans. I don't do that shite!
