Exeter City v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 12.08.23

[Tangerineteeth]

could be 1-0 to either team this

 

[briar]

Must admit, I thought the same. I'm impressed with the constant pressure whenever they're on the ball. Not giving up on anything. The goal will come soon

My biggest criticism would be; I don't know who's giving me the biggest heart attack, Marv with the ball at his feet or CJ's "defending".

All opinions but to me C.J.having a decent game

 

[Bisphamtang]

Can’t understand the negativity on here. I am at the game and we are pretty comfortable

Think Blakey from on the buses ,there are 127 of them on avftt
Marv with the ball at his feet !!

 

[hertfordseasider]

Right, 70 minutes, they look knackered, here's our chance in this last 20

 

[Since1967]

To be fair since the subs Exeter are now well on top

 

[Graves]

Today's game will be a good guide to where we are in this division, not very high!

But we still haven’t conceded.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

To be fair since the subs Exeter are now well on top

Very average subs like Virtue. To be expected.

 

[hertfordseasider]

I've missed Chizzy and Brett today.

 

[20togo]

starting to sit deeper and deeper.

 

[WirePool]

All opinions but to me C.J.having a decent game

Oh yeah, without a doubt. I'm deffo a CJ fan, just not enjoying his defensive work

 

[Mark_GT]

All opinions but to me C.J.having a decent game

Agree he's doing a job but he is no natural defender and it shows when we get overloaded. We've not used the ball well at all up front and he's had a lot of the opportunities, though they've backed us in on that flank now.

 

[Always tangerine]

Under pressure just now.

 

[TangerinePeel]

We're just trying to hit long balls and balls over the top to Lavery and it just keeps coming back at us

 

[Ollygon]

Marvin's a good stopper, and is quick on the turn, but he should NEVER be given the ball at his feet.

 

[18YearFreeTrial]

We haven't shown any real quality today.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

We haven't shown any real quality today.

Been a really poor performances. People will say well organised but that won’t win you promotion. You need a degree of quality and we’ve shown zero of that.

 

[briar]

He gets caught out with the same trick turns his back on player and dispossessed

 

[Ollygon]

Oh yeah, without a doubt. I'm deffo a CJ fan, just not enjoying his defensive work

He did well then, though

 

[briar]

Prayer mats out

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

They look just fitter, shaper and generally better than us. Massive reality check.

 

[MeanLeanTangerineMachine]

Decent away performance if we come out with a point. Exeter are decent.

 

[JJpool]

We haven't shown any real quality today.

Yep, we're in it because defensively were alright, but still under presaure and not showing much on the ball.

 

[18YearFreeTrial]

We look SO sloppy. Tired legs and no impetus to take on a man

 

[Victorsponge]

They should just fitter, shaper and generally better than us. Massive reality check.

What?

 

[Mark_GT]

We've seen the best and just one moment of the worst of Marv here. It's when he rolls the ball under his foot. Scary

 

[HetzkeBlaster]

not sure why we keep pumping high balls to lavery

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Decent away performance if we come out with a point. Exeter are decent.

Decent away performance? We have been shite.

 

[Bennys_was_a_mob]

Why we STILL crap at throw ins and corners? Do they never practice them at SG?

 

[MeanLeanTangerineMachine]

Would have been a great game to have madine on the bench

 

[JJpool]

We look SO sloppy. Tired legs and no impetus to take on a man

Exeter carried on playing football, we resorted to hoofball.

 

[Mark_GT]

Why we STILL crap at throw ins and corners? Do they never practice them at SG?

Maybe that's the problem, they practice in a 50mph crosswind

 

[Victorsponge]

Why we STILL crap at throw ins and corners? Do they never practice them at SG?

As long as we let Kenny take corners and free kicks they will always be poor

 

[HetzkeBlaster]

Virtue is looking tasty after his loan spell

 

[hertfordseasider]

Virtue is looking tasty after his loan spell

Looked really good since he came on

 

[Ormergod]

Should’ve won this game.Played well enough dominated really although Exeter have been better in second half

These crosses are too weak.Poorly delivered low cut backs that are easy to cut out at first man.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Beesley was better than Nombe today

 

[tangerine.com]

So, if we were on form we should have put this game to bed?

 

[Memphisboy]

Zero goal threat really. Playing wide players who can’t go on the outside, a lightweight Beesley up front and supposed creative players like Carey and Morgan who aren’t much cop. Sooner we can get the Brighton lad in the better.

 

[AngelBFC]

Lots of energy little creativity from either side

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

5 mins added

 

[Ormergod]

How has he not buried that shocking

 

[Ormergod]

Tried side footing it.Put your laces through that Matty

 

[JJpool]

Got to score there.

 

[Old_Laytonian]

Exeter carried on playing football, we resorted to hoofball.

I thought you didn't want us to play out from the back. Make your mind up

 

[TheTangerineLegend]

Virtue is looking tasty after his loan spell

Should of buried that shot

 

[hertfordseasider]

Got to score there.

It was a great save, he hit it well

 

[Mark_GT]

Full 90 for Norburn. Some great blocks. Also we go home with more points than when we arrived. I'll take that.

 

[TangerinePeel]

Virtue should have won us the game. Frustrating.

 

[Ormergod]

It was a great save, he hit it well

No he side footed it straight at the keeper it was a weak effort

 

[NewburyOne]

A point it is. Not the best performance but another clean sheet and in honesty we had 2 or 3 chances that really should have led to goals.
