Match Thread Away V Exeter City Saturday 6th February 1.00pm (with Poll)

A young lad known as McArdle scored in 1st half to give Exeter a 1-0 lead at Stevenage

 

Vernam for Clarke and Evans over to the right, regardless of whether Clarke’s injured. Other than that the same 10 as Barrow.

 

Think this will be the 1st start for Canavan, Agree with Vernam also.
With 3 games a week for the next 5/6 weeks, this will be the time T&S will start to rotate

 

Exeter win tonight

 

Well looks like Rory McArdle won’t be playing against us, unfortunately he’s been rushed to hospital with a serious injury after tonight’s game. Hope he will be ok

 

And later taken straight to hospital with what their manager describes as a serious injury. Hope it is not as bad as that.

 

Scored their goal as well never wish McCardle anything but good

 

Got to echo the above thoughts. Hope he's back soon.

 

Sounds like he’s had a bad cut to his meat and veg. Poor poor guy.

 

He's a warrior is our Rory, wish him all the best and a very speedy recovery. Absolute BCFC legend. Although I'm glad he's not playing, I wish he just had a heavy cold rather than whatever this is. Get well soon Ledge.

Very nasty. Good luck to him.

 

Sounds painful. Hope he’s on the mend asap. Will never forgot his goal against Villa. One of my favs.



Magical stuff. We just started to believe we might make it to Wembley....

 

Exeter have played 5 games in the last 15 days, including a trek to Stevenage last night. Injuries/fatigue should help us with this one. We've had a week off and played 2 fewer games in that period.

Despite their league position, the form table over the last 10 games favours us considerably.

The bookies are placing odds based upon current league standings, so it's worth a punt on an away win IMO.

Literally says everything you need to know about Rory that he would put his gonads on the line to defend a one nil lead. The man is an inspiration.

 

Melbourne Bantams will be ready for the midnight kick off already half pissed and half asleep following on from going to the Western Utd v Perth Glory the other Saturday wearing last season's city away shirt.

 

Lived for 15 years in Cornwall and regularly attended St James Park as closest civilised league ground (Plymouth usually had all the pubs around closed and the local estate lads vandalised any parked cars!). Great range of local pubs around St James Park and friendly locals.

We seem to have spent most of the 90s and 00s avoiding each other, but the one that sticks in the mind is the 4-1 loss in 2013 (ruined my birthday!). I left that game convinced that we had blown any chances of a playoff place and that Exeter were good enough to make the automatics. Anyway we hardly lost a game after that and still only made the playoffs because Exeter hardly won another!

We are on a good run at present and Exeter have I think played 5 games in 15 days, but suspect it will be a draw. Will be good to see Mccardle if he has recovered, but see Nicky Law is going to coach in US.

 

According to BBC weather forecast Exeter is looking fine, we'll travel Friday forecast is sunny periods Friday 10 degrees, and Saturday cloudy 7 degrees.

 

We’re taking this lot to the shed. The O’Connors will be stepping over shattered bodies, snarling as they beast every challenge they go into, Watt will be spraying more balls around than a Hollywood casting couch, Rowe will be spanking em in from 30 yards and Vernam will be tying more knots into em than a Boy Scout.

 

You certainly have a way with words @Faithful Bantam .
