Can't wait for this one. Will be a really tough test.

Ross
Santos Nelson Clough
Taylor Taylor Vilhete Tutonda
Ryce
Coulhirst Akpro

We can't really make many more changes as we have so many injuries. Hopefully Tarpeys injury isn't as bad as it looked. He has a scan tomorrow.

Looking forward to a good performance and hopefully a great result.

2-1 Barnet (Coulthirst, Ryce)

How many Exeter fans do you think will make the trip?

I have a feeling this will be a tough one. Barnet have a pacy attack which we may find tricky to deal with.

I expect we may well rest a couple of players and use our squad. Moxey is now back so he may feature plus I'd like to perhaps give Boateng a start and perhaps Edwards and Stockley too.

I'd take a draw so will go 2-2. Taylor and McAlinden for us.

As for the away following I'd expect between 3-400 but that's a guess.

I'm going but won't be getting rowdy levels of lashed.

Should be a great game based on the results so far!

If this game was next Saturday I'd be a lot more optimistic, but coming so soon after Saturday I wonder just how effective we'll be at closing down Exeter. Would like to freshen up the middle of the park, but Vilhete and Taylor were outstanding against Cambridge, so it's going to be a tough call for Rossi.

Still no sign I guess of Akinde, but I don't see him just walking back into the first team if we keep this level of performance and results up.

Something about our team this season gives me confidence that no one will find us easy to play. You knew with Martin Allen that there would be spells (sometimes a whole game ) when the team would be firefighting and desperately hoofing or throwing the ball upfield for the opposition to have another go. This team in comparison comes across as so organised, well drilled and in your face that they don't have to resort to those levels of desperation.

We may not have won every game, but no one has dominated us or beaten us by more than a single goal so I expect it to be tight again.

So we will lose 3-0.

Not heading to this one but think it will be a tough game.

McAlinden picked up a knock against Forest Green so Stockley could come in for him. Suspect it also be long until Boateng makes a start after 2 substitute appearances so there may also be a change in the midfield.

Our run has to end at some point and Barnet have started the season decent enough. 1-0 Barnet with a late goal.

Ah fuck off. As if a team deserved to lose that, and we do in the cruelest way possible. Urgh.

Last 30 min was all Exeter. Can't really complain, we gave everything but with so many injuries and kids on the bench we just ran out of gas while the opposition brought on fresh legs and ran us ragged.

How the hell did we lose that - played some brilliant football again.

Exeter a very good team though & 2 good footballing sides on display in awful weather.

Gutted - we were joint 3rd & 3pts off the top at 77 mins. 90 mins we're 12th & 9pts off it ☹️

Both teams played some fantastic football. Didn't really look like a league two game to be honest.

We started very strong but Barnet came into the game and deservedly went a goal up after a brilliant stay to the second half from them.

Credit to tisdale he saw that it wasn't working and changed the game by bringing boateng and stockley on. We got the equaliser and after that Barnet looked to hang on for a draw.

We rode our luck at times, but that's football.

If Barnet play like that every game I'd expect to see them in the autos or play offs at the end of the season.

Wow, what a comeback.

I thought Barnet would be tough oppo and so it proved as it sounded from the commentary they had the best of the first 60 mins and overran our midfield. Pym had a blinder by all accounts and made a huge save at 1-0 to keep us in the game.

As Trapdoor says, credit to Tisdale for changing things and switching to a back three. Sounded like Boateng took control in the midfield and with both Reid and Stockley on the pitch there's always a chance.

Unbelievable start and the main difference is we have a very strong bench which will win us a lot of points in the final 30 mins this season. Moxey made his first appearance since re-signing too so another one to come in and make us stronger.

Unlucky Barnet, sounded like you played some great stuff. Once you get over the injuries I have a feeling you will be up there. Plenty of pace in the team which we struggled against plus so quality pros like Campbell-Ryce and Akinde.

Bring on Crewe!
