I think with Hussey today is going to be about playing at pace and as much as I like him at his age it’s not something he is blessed with. Gets stood up too often by the opposition RB.

Rest of it I agree, Holy just doesn’t do it for me and would have gone Lucas but seems he is very on the out now. Wilson in that free role has potential to do serious damage. He was not involved enough at Rochdale being just stuck on the right.

See how it goes. Must win today really and more importantly let’s hope the ground rocks to “Darrell Clarkes Black and White Army!”

Looking at Stevenages lineup no Chris Lines for them in their squad. Obviously getting on a little now but absolutely loved him when he was with us. Only Luke Prosser of the proverbial ex players who can come back to haunt us today.

Yeah loved Linesy and his interview on the ale and vale was good, was stunned when we let him go to then non league Bristol Rovers at the time.

Glad he’s not playing! Legs maybe not what they were but still knows how to use the ball.

Same team but Nolan added to an already strong bench..

That Jaakola your 2nd choice keeper? He was very good at BP a month back and was the main reason we didn’t score 5 or 6.

Will definitely need to be a strong bench then!!

You should walk that with Upson and Westbrooke in their midfield

Yeah remember that free kick of his at Tranmere. He absolutely would have scored one of them today if he was playing.

Prosser to be fair to him has gone and had a decent career. I never would have picked that when he was in that dogshit team of Dean Glover.

Good job we had those 3k Exeter fans to help sell the place out...

 

[shoddycollins]

5 minutes in and Omari Patrick puts us 1-0 up... Sounds on the radio at least like a good goal.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

We've had two good chances already, much more lively than last week. Hope we can cash in.

 

[kieran_vale]

Perfect start for us 1-0. Looks like it may go down as an own goal but great ball into the box.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Should imagine vast swathes of mem home ends stood in silence when the Gas took the lead just, or perhaps Devon lad was talking out his hole again.

 

[kieran_vale]

Make that 2-0 Edmundson.

Come on Vale, no mercy let’s fucking crush them.

 

[kieran_vale]

Bad start for the 4000 Exeter fans packing the home end.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Oldham at it again.

 

[kieran_vale]

Honestly for any of our Scunny and Carlisle contingent on here this Stevenage team are actually the worst team in the league. The one thing they traditionally were good at was defending and they are abysmal. If there’s a team to catch it’s these.

 

[Hurrikeen]

Colchester started well. Had a decent chance but fluffed it. Since then we should have scored 2 but will settle for the 1.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Done by a long ball over the top. Erk.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Bad start for the 4000 Exeter fans packing the home end.

You what?

 

[shoddycollins]

We've let Orient have a couple of good chances now, need to calm it down.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Crawley's tails up now.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

All going pear-shaped, two down.

 

[Dale4ever]

Better than Tuesday night already, but then it really couldn’t be any worse. Should be ahead against Northampton, much the better side.

Because of our style of play and approach we dont seem to perform any better or worse against the better and worse teams. You have definitely popped the ball around well and should have scored from the low cross. We have had brief flashes but still dont retain the ball nearly well enough.

That being said at 0-0 we can always nick a set piece..

 

[kieran_vale]

Want to see a bit more intensity from us. We’ve been getting a little bit flat. There’s four or five goals on offer for us here and I’m expecting goal difference is going to be a factor at the end of the season.

 

[BRFC_Gas]

Two decent teams here. Exeter looking dangerous the few times they have attacked. We should have had a pen for Sweeney handball to stop the ball going in. Hard to call who will win it if anyone

 

[kieran_vale]

2-0 lead at half-time. Will take it but it’s vital we don’t start feeling satisfied with our days work and look to add to it.

Stevenage I don’t think there is one area of that team that I’d say is any good.

 

[Indian Dan]

Hard fought 0-0 first half. Salford look decent. Very decent.

They unbelievably missed a goal from 2 inches - I kid you not.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Started well but once Crawley nosed ahead they've made the running. Need to shake things up at the half.
