    Exeter’s defence been too busy watching ours on that one - we’ll take that though.

    Lucky to be going on level. Very decent start, great goal but continue to defend like that you’ve no chance. If there’s budget in Jan, reported in the T&A this morning, then an imposing defensive CM and commanding CB is desperately needed.

    Got to take that bit of luck into the second half and not trust on the defence to hold their own for us to stand any chance of a point or more.

    We're lucky to be level. We've played a bit of bright stuff, but they look better going forward than us and we look worse at the back.

    Watt and Cooke are liabilities at times.

    Further reinforcing the idea they need a hard nut in the midfield barking at them to stop fanning around.

    It's not just at the back, we aren't picking up runners. At the back of only playing three they need to be decisive. Don't agree with the AOC criticism, with Staunton just starting his career BOTH the other centre backs need to be strong. Paudie has been a big disappointment since he signed, he seems to have gone backwards.

    Try changing the quality to 540/1100, using the settings toggle bottom right of the screen. I have to change it to this every time to avoid buffering. Works well as a solution.

    No they weren’t first half to them even though we looked like scoring every attack we were better second half draw a fair result but we played some good football at times and it was a good match to watch and considering the amount of injuries we are carrying it was a good effort

    Because you don't understand football enough Fordy and give credit where it is due. We worked harder 2nd half and still looked decent going forward. Although I will admit we let Nicky Law too much space when he came on.
    Just saying he's sh**e, he's sh**e isn't very constructive and is often wrong.
    Having said I will always agree with you that the club is lacking direction and forward planning and know that like me you are City through and through. After things have hopefully improved in the world of covid I will buy you a beer and chew the fat with you in person.

    Stuart losing his rag again! Defending ROD. We don't have aerial targets for him to kick to (who's fault is that?). His distribution, he has no problems with. Doesn't understand why people are questioning it.
    Cooke had a tight calf at half time. Made him bring Samuels on, which he might have done anyway, as we needed some pace up top.
    Hosannah strained his hamstring last week. Could be out for 2-3 weeks.

    If Bowyer had given a stroppy interview like the one we have just had from McCall, the message boards and twitter feeds would be going crazy saying he’s lost the plot.

    I was thinking of a McArdle type who was never the quickest defender but whose defensive positioning (not forgetting his rugby tackles!) more than made up for that lack of pace at this level.
