I predict:

Pitch like an ice rink.

2 - 0 Col U.

I get sloshed on mulled wine.

Tisdale gets sent to the stands.

Exeter were decent for the first 20 minutes, but it was generally one-way traffic from there on in. Three goals in 10 minutes, one coming back off the inside of the post and a few more chances just after the break. We ought to have gone and won more comfortably than we did, but the injury to Innis and having to change shape made us more defensive.

There was a bit of a flurry around the consolation goal where it looked like Exeter would make things a bit more nervy for us but we rode that out and were comfortable for the last 15 minutes or so. Good win, decent performance and level with the play-offs!

Yeah whatever.
Ridiculous starting line up. Deserved nothing. Got nothing.
At least I started a chant.

We set up wrong from the start. Way too defensive.

Col u got very lucky with an own goal and then a pen from a terribly clumsy challenge in the box. At 2-0 down with such a defensive line up it was game over.

Tisdale tried to change it up but not before they scored their third. That was actually a great goal but it was the first real opportunity col u had created.

It felt like such a winnable game but the poor tactical set up and bad luck combined with a moment of stupidity from Taylor meant that it was never a contest.

We deserved no points and there can be no excuses, tisdale simply has to improve.
