Just goes to shows it's a game of opinions I thought the lad Williams had the better of Wood, and made life hard for Henley when he changed wings, although both our full backs gave good support down the line.

 

Have to disagree there. Williams did nothing against wood, who was well supported by oteh in all fairness but he had much more joy against henley who had a mixed afternoon.

 

Cooke posted an apology on his Twitter Dave I’m sure he feels he let the team down but sometimes it’s hard to hold back.

 

Completely agree. Only one bad tackle in the whole game. Game played in the right way

 

No problem with you disagreeing mate we all see thing differently at times, as @Rogered Tart said we played well certainly second half against Port Vale yet came away with no points.

 

Cant recall him stopping a cross coming in.

Better as an attacking RB but woeful as a defending one.

 

I'm not a lover of players apologising he knew he'd been daft making that sort of challenge on a yellow, I'm more annoyed the powers that be are taking the physical side out of the game.
And what pissed me off the most today was when Oteh was caught off side and the lino waited until he got to the ball before flagging, he must have run 10 yards he was obviously trying to play the ball and the lino waited until he got to the ball then flagged

 

That's what they have to do now. They don't flag until they play the ball.

 

Yes it makes a mockery of said player obviously trying to gain an unfair advantage, he was offside well before he reached the ball, just flag ffs .

 

If he doesn't play the ball now he's not offside and another of our players could come and play it. I'm like you. In our day offside was offside but not anymore. Don't you remember Wike being penalised for offside 10 yards inside our half a couple of years ago because he'd been offside and that was where he next played the ball.

 

Can't disagree it's more frustration that anything, has it changed the game for the better, I don't think so

 

Maybe its because there Cider drinkers and it soothes there troubles away

 

So we can say that battling over quality will take us up??

 

Our lack of quality on the ball has seen us win 7 out of 10 and sit in our highest position of the season.

 

Do we see Exeter after yesterday as a promotion rival or one that will peter out as the winter sets in with the crap pitches??
Our return fixture in March imo was going to be a big game but now i'm not too sure.

 

Indeed it has. I put that down to our resilience, physicality and work rate. If that takes us up over a season then great. But I dont think itll be enough. Of the games weve played against the other top 7, the only one where weve looked the better team was Swindon, and they were obviously missing their main striker.

All in all we have to be very pleased, especially given our injury list. But it feels like every time we threaten to find an extra gear, it fails to materialise.

 

I think they'll be up there, but if I was their gaffer I'd be after a striker and centre half in January.

 

As faithful alludes to i'd expect Exeter to be up there, they play a neat brand of football. But they are desperately missing a battling element that you need in league 2, they looked powder puff upfront. A decent striker or two and i'd have them as an automatic candidate.

 

I don't know who I think will finish higher out if FGR and Exeter, but I think we will finish higher than both of them based on those games and performances.

We are more complete than either side.

We might just be the most complete side in the division.

 

I agree I'd take any automatic but being greedy it would be great to see us win the league. Something I've never seen in a 30 years of support!
