Congrats Vale, cracking effort. I know financially an away game would be better but I hope you get a home tie as there’s nothing like a top Prem side at home.
Under Bonner, we’ve always been right towards the top of these things. I’d need to check but I think we’ve had just two red cards since he took over in Feb 2020, and one of those reds was rescinded.
This is all true but the difference is the sides I quoted didn’t have many poor or average performances. Your run is incredible as deserves alot of credit but you’re grinding out wins rather than wiping the floor with sides as those three were doing.
I think you’ll be promoted as you’re...
The best team we’ve played was Barnsley, we couldn’t get near them at all. We’ve been very similar to last season and today’s result doesn’t change the fact we are a poor side at the moment. But the fact we’ve not been smashed apart more often shows the mediocrity in the league. Even Portsmouth...
No way the second worst refs on the planet. If you’ve watched regular non league football then you’d realise than believe it or not the refs get even worse the further you go down.
We played long ball and won the league under Beck but we weren’t dirty so I take umbrage with you saying we booted...
It’s harsh, the bulk of the game had been played. They should have just played the remaining minutes, behind closed doors if need be, rather than “expunging” the score from history.
We played quite a disruptive game as you say, first half especially. But we played Digby a bit higher in the press which meant I never felt like we were camped on the edge of our box as much as I have seen us against decent sides at times.
Rode our luck a little but then the miss hit that hit...
After losing to a side who hadn’t won all season and only scored once in the league previously at the weekend, we now face a Portsmouth team unbeaten since 2012 (or so it seems). It’d be just the sort of thing for us to do to go and win tonight. But realistically we’re gonna get hammered. 0-3 I...
Congrats on the win, sounded well deserved and we were absolutely awful.
Not sure what happens now but I’m fed up of us being this shit again after last season’s farce.
Haha yeah. One game in particular that I remember was our first year back in the league in 2014/15. Tranmere were bottom and dreadful, hadn’t won for ages. They came to ours and won 3-1. Likewise Kiddy did us at ours in our relegation season in 04/05 which was must win and we’d turned the...
From my experience of watching us over the years, weee quite a good side to play if you’re on a bad run. Admittedly that has seemed to be the case at ours rather than when we travel but I can remember several games against teams with dog shit form who can’t buy a win rocking up and beating us...
I’ve been fully impressed with Exeter’s commitment to throwing this competition’s reputation into chaos. It’s been a fantastic effort and I wish Bonner would do the same with us.
Burton fully deserved that. We were appalling in the first half and although we got going a bit in the second we didn’t really create a lot.
Need to win a game soon, feels like we are shipping early goals again. Feels ominously like last season again at the moment.
