Stefan was here yesterday maybe talking January budget etc ?.

 

He lives in Germany not Australia.

He should be there OFTEN!

I do believe he watches in Germany I understand.

Glad he was there yesterday though because yes we won the game which is all that counts but the game yesterday highlighted we still need a little more and to recall Doyle.

 

Recall Doyle, keep Cooke and Connelly, get Palmer, Devitt and Donaldson fit, dont think we would need any more additions

 

I think we're making hard work of an extremely poor league.

I agree we should take the risk to get the reward. It's there for the taking!

I'll be disappointed if we don't win this league get over it quickly if we finish in the automatic places.

The players we look at it Jan should be of league 1 standard. We need to planning ahead.

 

Very odd game, Again i too thought exeter were the best team ive seen so far. Seems strange we are talking about their attack been poor yet others think AOC and BRE were man of the match. Were their strikers just poor due to our centre halves been that good?

Tin hat time but here goes........do we think edin did a good job sorting the pitch out. A year or so ago that pitch would have been like muddy swamp come 5pm if it had even gone ahead at all. It seems to hold up and play quite well in view of the poor weather

 

He had no choice because the FL were threatening penalties if it didn't improve, as I recall.
But I seem to recall reading that Rahic took the cut price option rather than the full overhaul. No doubt @wetherbywhaler can confirm.
I noticed that it looked pretty good yesterday but it's early days. Let's see what it looks like in February if we get a wet winter.

 

It looks better because at last we did not dig it up and reseed it as we have in the past seasons, The grass has had time to bed in and develop stronger roots so will cut up less,

 

We need another central midfielder who can run midfield and a tall physical ball winning centre forward who can not only win it but hold the ball up letting us get out of defence quicker without it coming back, And chipping in with goals!

 

Let's hope you're right.

 

You're a fountain of football knowledge is uncanny @Fordy117, not sure he watches games whilst in Germany, do you have any links etc to sustain that comment.
I doubt very much his visit was to see football, as we know he has little interest in football, I'd suggest it was more a business meeting with Julian and Co unless you know different ?.

 

Has he only just started because of the Rahic fiasco ?, seriously if he was watching at start of last season and he could not get a grip of why we were so poor and did not bring it to Rahic's attention he was either a very trusting man or a fool, I hope the former.
I will be more than happy to apologise to @Fordy117 if he can provide the said comment.

 

Like us they are heavily reliant on their home form with their away form being patchy at best especially defensively, if they don't get that sorted then they'll start to fall

 

Next round of league games 8 of the top 12 play each other. Big game for us against a resurgent Colchester who look full of goals at the moment.


Can't argue with those stats.

 

And Patrick too

 

If you saw that it was handball then they definitely are!

 

Once again my new glasses were working well!

 

In reply to Tennessee Bantam on page 10 of this thread (post#185) I suggested that it might be worth Exeter challenging this red card. It seemed to me that they were both battling for the ball, I am not sure you could say he had clearly outpaced the defender when you look at the highlights, plus I though there was another defender on the other side of the pitch who could have been considered a covering defender.

 

I thought you were joking, but sometimes on this site it is difficult to tell! My view of it was from the Midland Road stand, the other side from @Offcomedun the same side as the highlights recorded it.
