So, we're at home again, and our lucky guests this time are newly promoted, Grimsby.

Sooner or later we will get a home result so I am hoping that's this weekend. Grimsby have some pace in attack which we always struggle with and Bogle looks to be on great form. If we lose again, pressure will continue to mount on Tisdale and the club board. There's a fans protest planned for 2pm which I will be attending, however come 3pm I will get behind the team.

I will tentatively predict a 2-1 win. More fool me, probably.

Going down for the weekend for this one. Meeting up with a few friends who are Exeter fans.

Bogle was "unwell" on Tuesday but that was just a precaution I think and expect him to lead the line on Saturday.

Exeter's home record worries me slightly, as by law of averages they must be due a home win sometime. Hopefully not Saturday.

Judging by our team sheet looks like were going 5 - 3 - 2 with 3 Centre backs playing. :bl:

Sounds like we are hanging on big time to a 0 - 0!

We dominated and Grimsby were dire but if we can't finish then we'll continue to get nowhere.

Reid played very well and was so close to scoring on three occasions. Tisdale got dog's abuse when he was subbed after 75 mins. After he went off our focal point up top just faded. Thought defensively we looked solid for once but it loose like Grimsby came for a point. Bogle was very quiet which surprised me, plus he took one of the worst direct free kicks even seen.
At least we stopped the rot but we have still only scored one goal at home in six yes SIX league games which is appalling.

Just home after a long weekend.

My God we were awful, Exeter not that much better. As is often the case, a great weekend away was spoiled by the football. The night out and curry in Topsham on the Saturday evening made up for it though.

Did you go in The Bridge Inn? It's a cracking real ale pub besides the River Exe.
