oafcprozac Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) The First hour was absolutely shocking, we were stuck with nine men in our own half no tempo and aimless hoofing. We paid Exeter far too much respect and because of this they got it down and played some good stuff, thankfully they're :censored:e in the final third and we got away with the countless crosses and the times they got in behind on the flanks. We had FOUR changes of formation today and Penney cut a forlorn figure as he was booed off at HT then booed back on at the start of the second half. The pen could have gone either way, it was given and tbh I have no complaints. Greegs headed it up in the air perhaps Brill should have come for it and Rubes decided to solve the problem with a bit of WWE on their guy - 0-1, then we woke up the tempo increased but it was still pretty bad. I think we may have seen the last of Price, he's no wide player and when you are subbed for Smalley then you don't need me to tell you that your number is well and truly up. We huffed and puffed but it wasn't much better. Greegs goal came out of the blue tbh but if you don't buy a ticket you don't win the raffle! If anyone was gonna dig us out of the :censored: it was our Captain Fantastic, pen aside he was superb. Straight after the pen there was a stonewaller for Exeter turned down, Greegs throwing their guy to the ground. The pen in the last min was a joke Rubes won the ball their lad went down to cries of TIMBER! 5.9! Even the anonymous Taylor would have been embarassed by that one! Anyhow I couldn't watch but Brill dug us out of a big hole and it was nice to see the fans singing his name at the final whistle. Stand out performers? Gregan was immense but is a tad to blame for the first pen and could have conceded another, that apart I wish we had 11 Gregans! JJ played well, Lee was ok but his hoofing got right on my tits! Midfield? What midfield???? Get someone in alongside Dale! Furman awful again! Taylor - non-existent again! Nards did ok, Pav seems to be suffering a lack of confidence, straight after the missed pen Pav skied a free header - symptomatic of his current plight in front of goal and an earlier Whits' effort was goalbound only to hit Pav on the arse and drift wide! I'm no High Executioner but the Jury has almost finished deliberating and amongst the 400 there today, there was barely any support for Penney - the verdict may well be returned next week. Anything less than 6 points could see Simon Corney put on his black cap! Edited March 6, 2010 by oafcprozac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 That would be correct, and this person told me had we have gone for it today, we probably would have got all three points. EDIT: Spoke to a 2nd friend who went to the game and echoed the same sentiment. Have zero reason to question either judgement, Second person was me, technology is wonderful these days, now sat in Birmingham waiting for my connection back to Piccadilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losesome Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 we'll easily stay up, look at who we've got at home, still want penney out as i have done for months due to the negativity, never forgive him for what happened at wycombe ffs 2-1 up cruising all over them against ten men, last twenty minutes we go defensive and the inevitiable happens. Everybody keeps going on about the home games we have coming up - We have scored 12 goals in 15 games at BP this season , hardly going to be easy to win when you HAVE to score to win !!!!!

Price for Smalley, Colbeck for Smalley etc after each game. Good post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc joe Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 From a neutrals point of view think of it this way: it is a much better point for you than for Exeter. They were leading 1-0 with just 10 mins left, were playing at home and missed a last minute penalty. Ok, the performance was "awful", but you have escaped with a point and put Exeter in more trouble. It is the next 2 games, Orient and Wycombe, which are must wins. KEEP THE FAITH!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philwhite Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Just got home from game ( i live in cornwall before anyone says anything) and i have to say there is a lot of rubbish on here already ,we had more than 1 effort on target all game for sure as price missed a sitter after about 40 mins from 7 yards . Yes price appeared to play wide right in a 3 man attack but that was hopeless as the guys a centre forward not a winger although he tried. It was a game between 2 poor teams yes but we did not deserve to lose which 2 ludicrous penalty decisions nearly made us, where these refs come from i have no idea cos both where fouls by exeter players on hazell NOT the other way round.Brill was fine today and looked assured gregs was awesome but sorry if we gotta rely on fancy flicker abbot to stay up we really are doomed he was cack! stephens was lucky to stay on the pitch after an awful 1st half challenge and it wasnt until we went behind that we seemed to want to win and taylor had a couple of headers he maybe should have done better with.On the whole a draw is better than a lose and if we can win our home games we will be okay , well done to the 393 fans who turned up today and to be fair most players did at least appear to care ... Good post smithers271...........I was at the game and agree with your remarks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottantuno Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 We tried playing 3 strikers to take it to them. It didn't work. Was a mistake in hindsight. Managers make them...we've 5 home games and a game vs basement side Stockport. I'll take that! "I'll take that"! I'm sorry but have things got that bad that we'll accept the fact that there are 5 games out of six at home that we 'might' win in order to get us out of trouble! I consider myself to be a very patient fan and so far have believed that the manager will come good but this current state of affairs is just not f*****g good enough! I don't expect us to be challenging for promotion but to see us on our arse at the wrong end of the table with the manager spouting "Well, Leeds came here the other week and lost 2-0" is not acceptable!

Zorrro Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 BigFin did the lift from Dirty Dancing on me when Gregan scored, then OldhamSheridan gave me a big hug. As you can imagine, that was the highlight of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have zero reason to question either judgement, I've been thinking about this, and it's not a question of your judgement - I think it's a question of capability. We're :censored: this season and no better. Remember that fact. BigFin did the lift from Dirty Dancing on me when Gregan scored As you can imagine, that was the highlight of the game. He did it to me at Everton, it was the second most gay experience I've had. The first most gay experience involved a strip bar, my kickboxer mate, a fruity lad, some really awkward questions and somebody having their floating rib dislocated. It ended up like a wild west saloon brawl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuesday will be difficult but winnable and then Saturday potentially easier. Time for a goalscorer to emerge.

LeylandLatic Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) Just seen the two penalties, not a chance in my opinion either of them should have been given. Gordon, Roy and even the Exeter commentator seemed particularly bemused on the commentary about the second one but for me the first is even softer, a terrible pair of decisions.
