Don't forget the often quoted mantra on here - "Anyone can beat anyone in this division". About time it was our turn again, though!
Indeed
Is there anyone who wouldn't rather have Boco in the middle with Molyneux cutting in from the right ?
Exeter are a well-drilled and well-organised team. We did well to hold out for 78 minutes. I thought Mark Hughes was magnificent in defence. I have an open mind on James Beattie - he is getting no service whatsoever. When we had a free kick in a dangerous area, Wilson failed to get the free kick past the first opponent so Beattie stands no chance whatsoever when that happens.
Furthermore, the right wing remains a problem. Rommy's skills are wasted there - and again Beattie gets no service from there. I remain to be convinced that Murphy is the answer in midfield. His distribution is not good enough and tonight he was too often caught in possession.
The second Exeter goal was a total mess. Dean's awful back pass gave Paul Rachubka no chance.

Agree Boco has been quiet last 2 games but to day Beattie gets no service is ridiculous.
What about Boco and Gray up the middle

Must be those "Crowd finder Puma boots" he wears.
He obviously wasn't wearing them - but should have been. Had Hughes been in that situation, I think the ball would have been out of the ground.
How much longer can this mess continue ? One win in 16 games and we cannot make any decisions through lack of funds, due to shocking gates, a reluctance ( possibly ) by this large band of Directors to inject cash. What is the answer ? , football in a lower grade , obviously .
It's getting beyond a joke,they have three shots on target and score two,it has to change soon.Then again we only had one shot on target!!
If we don't score goals we we won't win,simple really,and scoring isn't just down to the forwards.
There goals came from a centre mid getting into the area and both goals were disappointing after doing so well.
The first one,there winger got past liddle and murph is dragged across and the ball and is cut back to his man in the area,we just didn't react quick enough.
The second was entirely Redraines fault,who wants to keep the ball alive !!
Seriously,dean chases the ball in the left back channel,and clips it back to the keeper,to be fair,it's at an awkward height for the keeper,but his control/touch was poor,and just went straight to there man.
If it was 0-0 the ball would have gone into touch,simple as.
Can't really hammer dean as he has marked Pope and Cureton in recent weeks,and they haven't had a sniff.
We need some luck,the sooner the better
