Agree and I hope that it's Ekpiteta that gives way. Hopefully Pennington will be fit for Tuesday.Have to say … Olly Casey looking like he’s got a chance of sealing a starting spot was not on my pre-season bingo card. Third good performance on the trot.
Marv's long legs are his get out of jail card. Would rather Casey or Pennington played the centre of the three CB's, both far more comfortable on the ball. NC's remit is to improve players Ekpiteta is a lost cause in possession. He can't cope with having to make a decision. I was convinced the Exeter front three were told to let him have the ball.The back 3 were very solid yesterday, bar our usual one crazy moment. Casey had a great game but I thought he struggled at time against Nombe whereas Marv had him in his pocket for most of the game. Husband put in another great shift but Norburn was outstanding again and my MOM.
