Exeter City Match Thread.........

The sourest of sour grapes here:-

"Re: Exeter City V Accrington Stanley Match Day Thread

As for Accy, horrible team like they've always been. Don't give me all that nonsense about how we should be like that - we shouldn't, it doesn't work and it's not good to look at. We're better than them and since they've been on our radar from the Conference days by and large we've always been better than them with better results, better crowds, better positions in the table and better to watch. But they are a horrible, ugly team who deserve nothing. I hate seeing refs do nothing about petty niggly and snidey fouls, shirt pulling, time wasting, kicking the ball away, running off with it when it's the opposition's throw in or free kick - no wonder their crowds are dreadful - who wants to watch that each week. However, they took their goals well and we should have had the wherewithall to prevent them - I felt for a particularly incensed Hamon when the second went in as he was the only ****** who seemed interested in trying to prevent it.

So a disappointing day all round. We should have won it easily, we certainly had enough about us to win it easily, but once again our frailty when faced with a pub clogger bully-boy team is exposed for all to see. Man up City FFS."
I think they are still remembering and moaning about Cav's brilliant tackle which took out one of their forwards down there in our Conference winning season!

It was only the last 10 mins where we were put under pressure and that's bound to happen away from home to a good side.

Coleman's not a muppet. In his head he would have been balancing the fact that they were tired against the players we actually had on looking dangerous all afternoon.

Whatever the opinions on Coley's tactical qualities, you have to admire his and Jimmy's great ability to motivate the players he puts on the pitch. Unlike t'other fella!

No he hasn't, you've misread the bbc stats ....
The 13/14 is total shots...
Shots on target Exeter 3 Stanley 6
That's not a smash and grab to me.
 
Does anyone else think we are dirtier than other teams? Just looking at yellow cards from yesterday. It sometimes seems referees pick on us or is that my rose tinted glasses?

Read 20 pages on Exeter Blog a few fans said the ref was great and gave them everything,we got bookings for non fouls and Exeter got away with murder we didn't even get a free kick for a double footed lunge that must have been verging on a red card.Plus a Blind linesman who can't see a hand ball right in front of him.
 
You lot keep saying it was Exeter on top second half/last 10mins when all the match reports say we were on top first half and you second half. I'm just making the point that different people see the game differently having been criticised RE the stats.

Didn't think the ref was terrible, but wasn't great. There were one or two yellow card worthy fouls from your guys but nothing major that would make me call you a dirty team. Certainly didn't here other Ex fans calling you that where I was. There was just quite a few niggley fouls which I thought came from your players pressing so well.
 
If our travelling hordes were singing "We're dirty northern baskets" as per usual, the locals might have become confused and believed them ......

We had four shots on target(one a great save)before you had your first on target that you scored from ,Stanley for the first 10 mins then you.....Second half all Stanley but a lot of pressure from Exeter in the last 10,but we also had some good moves in the last 10....just watch Kal Naithsmiths shot when Aldred scores from the rebound.Also on you tube it shows two of our chances before you scored......so stick to fairy tales and get a degree with honors.

Have to disagree Potter, after our equaliser Exeter put us under the cosh, half the side were out on their feet, and it wasn't just the pressing first half that took its toll,twas the fact some of the lads had been off ill also, It was crying out for fresh legs simple as.

Actually he's not because I agree. I think many times lately including yesterday the attacking players have looked jaded in the 2nd half, but the tactical genius is reluctant to make changes - maybe this is why we havnt scored as many late goals this year (which the manager was actually complaining about recently!!)

excellent win yesterday btw, still think we're lacking up front but 3 points away is great.

Well he was there and he's not the only one who could see that some of Stanley's players were jiggered by about the hour mark. And before you jump to another assumption, the Exeter players did just as much harrying and closing down, but they left the field looking disappointed not exhausted.

A prime example of fresh legs is Kal ,his shot that Tom scored the rebound from was awesome,no one with that was jaded would have wrapped their boot round the ball like that.
