Exeter Match

I'm glad you brought the Port Vale protest up Jeff. Their protest was angry, bitter and clearly demoralising for the players on the pitch. In fact their only chant of the entire game was of angry protest. The Ultras however had no massive banners with angry slogans or equally idiotic chants. Their protest was short, silent, and effective. They went on to do the club proud with constant noise for 80 mins. It was the best possible way to make their feelings known. I find the criticism of the Ultras display today (or lack of one) completely nonsensical.

Well done to all of you.

When the Port Vale fans said that they were going to protest during the game at Stanley everybody on here said that it was stupid to protest during a game and that they should get behind the team and then protest after the game. So what do our lot of idiots do - they protest at the start of the game. It could have cost Stanley the game. What would they have done then. Probably blame the defeat on Mully going to Bradford. One person decides to have a sit down silent protest and all the sheep follow him. Disgraceful behaviour. I believe that Mully had a clause in his contract that if any other team enquired about him he had to be told. Mully was told and HE decided to go to Bradford. So why not go to Bradford and protest against Mully, why do it at FES and upset the players. Get behind the team and leave your childish behaviour until after the game.

Well I have no problem with the SILENT protest, as it's not as if they were chanting, effing and blinding about whoever they feel to be letting them down. Surely it was a lesson for us all that vocal support is truly worth a 12th man, so why don't the (mostly) silent majority make more of an effort to get behind the team regularly and add to the Ultra's noise? How the team would prosper with a bit more vocal backing from all areas of the home support.
 
I didn't even notice any silence to be honest. I just assumed that the Matchday Club had been cancelled this week. :D

He seems to have a decent understanding with Linfield too but then I understand that they were at bournemouth together earlier on this season. Lets just hope there's more to come, and a few goals with it.

Interesting you said that. I have a feeling that Lindfield and Symes are going to go on to work well together.

Yes. We take few enough away but even there, out of say 70, only about 20 - 30 of us appear to make any noise between goals

1. Did we have a big flag with Coleman out, Eric out, ASFC for sale no we did not! 2.Did we songs about the board and wanting them out no. We was just silent for 10 minutes. I still can not get why people are saying the Ultras were wrong in doing what they did, if they was why was you still silent or the rest of the fans that disagred are we the only ones that sing. No and i know for a fact we arnt becuase when we did start to sing the people who did not sit down joined in with the songs, why couldn't they sing while we were sat down and was quite.

I'm glad Symes is only on a months loan he was useless I'd be surprised if he had a shot on target all he did was dive! Lindfield did well playing up front on his own would rather see Miles up front with him and Grant on the left

Very, very harsh. How can you expect the guy to star 2 days after arriving in the squad? I for one thought he helped give our attack a much more threatening and pacy look than of late. I think we can "do" Darlo on Tuesday, which would be sweet after our horrible performance at their place.:D
 
Syme's debut wasn't perfect, but he was very positive in all his play. He added more mobility to our front line and he showed signs of being a decent player.

He tired towards the end, but that's to be expected when you consider the lack of irst team football he's had. If Coleman can impart some of his striker's knowledge on Symes, he could turn out ok for us.

Lindfield is also still learning his trade, but nobody can doubt his work rate or his commitment.
 
I didn't rate Symes but to say miles up front and grant on the wing is crazy IMHO. Grant is not a league footballer by a long way yet. I'd say play the same 11 as we did today.

Don't know which game you were watching, give Symes a chance, he's only been here 2 minutes and you want to get rid already. Obviously no football knowledge when you read the majority of posts on this thread saying he had a decent game and held the ball up well, not always heading on to nobody, but chesting it down and looking who to pass it too. OK not the finished article by a long chalk but, he seemed to have a very good understanding of Lindfield and others.

BTW troops, one bit of good news from yesterday, it has come to my attention that Accy have won a vote from all other League 2 clubs on best food at a football ground! Well done the caterers

Agreed.

Also, thought the Ultras made their feelings known in a tasteful manner and spurred the team on afterwards.

So what was the protest about? Some thought it was about PM (It was he who wanted to go to Bradford, not the management) and some thought it was because of the impending seats in the Clayton End. If people are going to have a protest, it's a good idea to inform the club and other people why! :confused:
