The team that got knocked out of the EFL Cup by Barrow .. not hugely dissimilar to last night but now with a manager who knows what he’s doing?

Their work rate is better than last year.

Went to that Barrow game. Missed some sitters and Lavery was that low on confidence, he missed a penalty. So different now.

The team that started last night was:

O'Donnell
Connolly
Casey
Husband
Lyons
Dougall
Virtue
Carey
Thompson
Dale
Beesley

So only 3 out of 11 were the same. I agree with the bit about a manager who knows what he's doing though!

This is the team that lined up against Plymouth 3 seasons ago. Only 2 of which featured against Burton. Of the others, there's only 2 I would want in the team now; Yates and Anderson. I'd also say our squad is far stronger in depth. With 2 weeks or so before the transfer deadline, we should be in a decent position to have a good crack at L1.

Maxwell shipped 3 last night and the first was a typical one for him in my humble opinion

Down to ten men against Boro though.

Mitchell plays for Exeter now ….

Mitchell plays for Exeter now ….

I always liked him, very quick but not always the best defensively. Exeter have had an equally good start to their season, so it'll be a good challenge.

I think Mitchell is a good player on his day, not sure that I would be too happy with us going with Hamilton as right wing back up against Mitchell on the left wing!!

Mitchell decent going forward but a bit suspect defensively and positionally, quite pacey but not as much as CJ, a decent match up in all honestly, for me CJ playing under Critchley ON THE LEFT might just shade it particularly if we are on the front foot. On the back foot playing three at the back with good cover we have been good so far. Could play thomson on the left but to me he's still a bit suspect, he had a decent game against derby but didnt really get the ball into the attackers even less then connolly playing there.

I'd go Hubby on the left and get Casey into the back 3. Lyons on the right.

For now.

That error v Boro the other year when we had just equalised in injury time....

I'm sure Exeter will also be concerned about Hamilton, my choice would be Hamilton on the left and Lyons on the right but I think that's too obvious for Critchley!
