    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@Fordy117 if he can provide the said comment.

    I've no idea on the specifics but I've definitely read that he is watching every game now.

    I'd still like us to add a central midfielder. Our (quality) options there are very limited

    I spoke to Stefan before the game yesterday and commented that it was it was good to see him there. He told me that he comes regularly to the games.
    Saw him again at the final whistle and he was full of smiles.

    I know he watches the games now as @bantam2708@bantam2708 says it's more than likely on Ifollow.

    The window doesn't open until Jan and I doubt he was there to discuss budgets when we need to get November out of the way first and see where we are at with injuries etc.

    He should be at the games more.

    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.

    Exeter City's Tom Parkes has had his red card rescinded.
    https://www.exetercityfc.co.uk/news/2019/november/parkes-rescinded/

    EDIT: I just realised, I used Exeter City's word "rescinded" above. The pedant in me thought I should correct my error, in following Exeter City's incorrect wording.

    It's incorrect to state that the red card has been rescinded as, technically, it still stands. What has been rescinded is the subsequent suspension, as the role of the FA's Regulatory Commission is to consider whether or not the the suspension is fair, not the red card itself. So in Tom Parkes's case his red card will still stand, but he will serve no suspension.

    A bit of a weird system, but that's the FA for you.

    So what's the logic being applied here then? Connolly was heading into their box, had clearly outpaced the last defender and would have had a shooting opportunity, which was denied when he was pulled back. I don't get why that's not a red card.

    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.

    Interesting. From my seat in C Block, main stand it looked a stonewall red card at the time. Connolly was outpacing the defender and was held back. I felt he would have got clear and got a shot on goal. But looking at the highlights video, taken from the opposite side, it looks less clear cut. Connolly has more work to do to get a clear route to goal and you can't see if there is another defender covering. If there was then that would explain the rescinding.

    @Allotment Bantam@Allotment Bantam just for clarity, my comment about the red card for the tackle on Woods was very much tongue in cheek. I know you know that, as for the red for the Connolly foul, from the tv view, I reckon any club would have appealed against it. I would have been annoyed if it had been one of ours getting a red for that.

    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@Offcomedun the same side as the highlights recorded it.
