Exeter match,
- Thread starter cashman
- Start date
Understandably, Sean is taking a bit of time readjusting to life in Division Two, but he clearly has the abilty to impress himself at this level as he showed today in making the goal for Billy. He just needs to do it more consistently. I am sure that under the guidance of Coley and Uncle Jimmy, (that's for Redraine!), that he will get there and be a force to be reckoned with!
I like Luke Joyce as a player but for me he was allowed to play in too deep a position which exposed our defence last season far too much. This season Carlisle have scored 17 goals but have also conceded 17 goals so far with Luke in their team. This season we have only conceded six goals, two today in a 4 - 2 victory! I prefer our current midfield set up. Fairly simple to see as far as I am concerned!
UP TH'OWD REDS!
ps What's a 'Scapegoat'? I can't find any of these down on our local farm! blaagghh!!
Just watched Coley's interview on the 'Fishy' site. Although somehat reluctant, he seemed to be in acceptance that his double substition may have been an error....???
I like his last comment about the gate today...... "The crowd did play a big part today and they got behind us. You can't knock the people who come, it's the people who don't come you can knock!"
None the less..... 1,403 was a good turn out today.
I was reading the Accrington Observer this morning and a team called Rovers and another team called Burnley shared 60+% of the coverage of the football section in an 'ACCRINGTON' paper......Huh!

Scapegoat? What are you on about?. No question of looking for a scapegoat when we have won, Baldy! And where did I mention any bad points in Sean's performance, eh? Methinks you are a bit paranoid.
Where did I say you had mentioned any bad points in Sean's performance?...Paranoid?
You did hint that you think Sean is only in the team because of Jimmy which I don't believe is true!!
The thing with Sean is he sometimes pulls out of tackles that he could possibly and is abit of a "Fancy Player" but most teams have these kind of players, Gary and Rory were never ones for going into a tackle full blooded!
I've no doubt when Sean gets a goal or two he will go on a run and be a big player for us!
One player who deserves a mention is the keeper.
Hes getting better every game and his decision making has improved 100%.
The defenders are getting the credit for our defensive performances,but his contribution shouldn't be under estimated,big future ahead of him IMHO.
I feel sorry for the other keeper,as hes a great prospect as well,but he will struggle to move him.

Not too much to add from me so I'll be brief. They were a good side and were probably on top when we scored. Three well worked goals and a gift. Don't underestimate contribution Kee made - held it up and used it well and we looked a better side for this happening. Glad he got goal his performance deserved.
Substitutions affected our control of game. Thought Barry struggled to get involved and can't remember his having mare than 5 touches so last 20 mins disappointing as should have seen game out better than that. Defence solid again and we have luxury of 2 good keepers

Firstly I,d like to say what an entertaining game and advert for league 2 football, make no mistake they were a good side playing with confidence as are we the difference being today we were clinical in front of goal and but for 2 great saves by their keeper could have been 4-0 at half time. All the team played well for me Kee and Conneely just shading above the rest, as for the subs at 4-0 up we have to give Proccy some game time don,t forget he is coming back from a bad break and was short of the pace but we will need him at some stage this season so has to have game time the other sub well I think it would have been better to put another attacker on McCartan or Bruna but that, s my opinion, but overall a brilliant team performance keep it up into 16 or so games in and we could go all the way.
an excellent three quarters of a game but spoiled for me the by the 2 goals they scored. instead of sitting back we should have gone for the jugular. the problem is in the modern game all clubs tend to shut up shop if they score 3 or more without reply. will never understand this thinking as goal difference could be crucial come next may. if opponents are on the ropes as Exeter were give em nowt.

Just hope we don't do what we normally do and stall on offering players contract extensions like previous seasons!
No doubt clubs will be sniffing round the likes of Windass, Crooks and Davies come January, Will John and Jimmy be looking for replacements now and taking the money in January or try and keep them until the summer and get next to nothing at tribunal?

Lets hope the new sponsors prevent that happening n new contracts are offered PDQ.
"He skinned three defenders on the by-line before laying it on a plate for Billy" is not what I said or thought....Perhaps that is how you saw it Mike?! All I suggested was that he has a lot of potential and that his part in setting up the goal for Billy was clear evidence of it. I also said that Billy took the goal really well as there was not much to aim at.
Not really, but I'm not going to labour the point. I do agree about Billy, who gave a real centre forward's performance. I've heard a few suggest that he's not fully fit yet so what a player we have when he gets fit!
