Match Thread Most liked posts in thread: FA Cup - Home v Exeter Sat Nov 6th @ 3.00pm

We drew the game yesterday because the midfield was tired late in the game, if we want to play with intensity for 90 mins the we need to have the players on the bench to step in. Looking at the highlights, the sloppy play to lose possession in midfield for the Exeter goal cost us the game. We are creating chances, we just need to put them away but turning over possession as we tire will cost us.

 

Agree on Cook. He is our best striker but he wastes two or three great chances most games before scoring.

We are banking on Angol improving our scoring rate but he’s never been prolific during his career.

It’s clear Adams is the right man though. The managers job in this case (ie he only had one window and needed to get to know the players after arriving) was the mould them into a better side and improve our creative output as the numbers weren’t good under T&S.

we’ve done this now and are one of the most creative teams in the division. Time and time again we don’t take our chances but that’s not directly Adams’ fault. His counter style he’s implemented is creating chances but it’s the players’ responsibility to stick it in the net from six yards out.

Adams’ job is now to convince Sparks and Rupp to release more funds to strengthen. There is a prime opportunity to go up this season by adding quality in January. If we let it pass us by many fans will give up next summer.

 

Really?

As your own club regresses pitifully year in and sit mid table, your happy to belittle others.

 

Terrible
Long way to go to get beat in a replay

 

Was really looking forward to a home game as well.

 

Hang on, we only got through to the first round 'cos we didn't have to play any games...!!

 

£15 for an adult for a first round cup tie with only bottom tiers open. I think that will put a lot of people off, can't see the attendance reaching even 4,000, especially considering the away following will be small too.

Pretty sure we've always had the early rounds at £10 a ticket, why the need to up it to £15?!

 

Those were the days!! Fans viewed the first round with anticipation of reaching the third round, and a plum tie. There were a lot fewer season ticket holders in those days so fans were used to "pay on the gate" for league games. Nowadays, with mainly season ticket holders, it seems there is an aversion to coughing up for the early round cup games.

 

No my spell checker spelt it wrong .

 

Agree, they used to be the be all and end all most seasons sat at the arse end of Division Four.

Man U tossers started the rot, not one First Division team played with a bunch of kids in those days. It was unheard of. !

Yes they played European games as well before anyone asks.

Now the first few rounds for Prem Clubs and some CC are an inconvenience! Selfish tw@ts.

 

Well they can never say we got a bye at Stamford bridge as that was very near a full strength 11, as was the Arsenal & Villa teams Arsene Wenger & Paul Lambert brought down to Valley Parade those very memorable Tuesday nights.

 

It's a loyalty scheme not an away priority scheme. The clue is the word loyalty.

 

I did intend going but not now, Adams expecting 10,000 so why would you want to be sat in a stand of there choice like sardines in a can 5000 lower tear in the Kop and 5000 in the lower Sumwin, having said that for extra £15 you can sit in leather seats upper Sunwin stand. Sorry City but you have got this wrong should have opened some of the Midland road stand.

 

Exeter City on Saturday. FA Cup.

Have a great match and good luck.

 

Is that a promise that we are going to be competitive?

 

I don’t think price is the main factor. If we get to 3rd round and draw a big club, there would be 20000 fans somehow finding the money. The low attendance today is simply because it’s not an interesting tie.

 

Some game at Halifax after 44 minutes FC Halifax Town 4 - 3 Maidenhead United

 

Kiwomya is burbling like a burst arse!

 

I’ll settle for May.

 

Ok....we MAY be up by Christmas.
