Saturday 5th December - 1st full fixtures this season with spectators

[Bottega Don]

Orient players have lost their heads since that 2nd goal lots of late challenges coming in here

 

[Grumpy Grecian]

well we have Dell boy up front
Maybe the managers are fools or its horses for courses

Said by a fan of the Trotters!!!

 

[Bottega Don]

That is a great win against a quite good Orient side. Been quite impressed with the last 3 teams we've played at home (Orient, Bolton, Morecambe) and then thought the 3 teams we've played away from home (Oldham, Vale, Harrogate) have been poor.

We looked very well drilled at the moment which is a credit to Cox.

Good win.

 

[Devon_Lad]

Another goal from another academy product. Get in. 1-0!

 

[kieran_vale]

Manny 1-0. That wasn’t in the script.

Nice composed move by Vale.

 

[Devon_Lad]

An Exeter reject scores against Bolton for Port Vale

 

[Devon_Lad]

Ffs. Conceded already. 1-1

 

[valefan16]

Wow! 2-0 could be 4!

 

[kieran_vale]

2-0 Leon. What a start. This is more like it from the mess we’ve looked the last month.

 

[The Terminator]

Punished today for not making the most of our dominance in the opening 20mins, justice was done with the penalty being saved to be fair though, I'd have been steaming if that had been given against us. The ref I thought was poor, his decision making all game was inconsistent.

Second half to Scunthorpes credit they pressed us well and despite us again starting strongly and having a few chances, we eventually ran out of steam and let a second in.

We didn't seem to adapt to the bobbly pitch, none of our players seem to get their first touches right and we didn't get our dangermen into the game enough. If Ouss Cisse has a bit of a stinker off the ball, we tend to have a poor game as a team. Had alot of the ball today, a complete contrast to our last 3 games, probably a shock to the system!

 

[valefan16]

Fuck sake goal out of nothing

 

[Devon_Lad]

2-1 down. Sod this, I'm logging off for the afternoon and going to the pub.

 

[Bottega Don]

This is ending 3-2 Bolton with a red card for Vale whether you like it or not

 

[kieran_vale]

Was going to say Bolton’s 3 at the back is playing right into our hands.

Some real slackness from Vale not for the first time after we’ve scored has let them back into a game they haven’t been in at all before.

 

[valefan16]

Why is Mills so central!

 

[denzel ecfc]

Defence look knackered

 

[Pablosammy]

Walsall started fast, dangerous and strong, and should arguable be ahead. Scrap that, they are ahead. Bollocks.

 

[kieran_vale]

Why is Mills so central!

Yeah that’s an adjustment I’d be looking at maybe getting Manny to help double up out there as that’s where their threat is coming from.

 

[Boz]

Nervy opening for Rovers and after 2 escapes Walsall take the lead.

 

[Back in the DHSS]

Deserved lead for Walsall who went close twice before scoring.

 

[Pablosammy]

Walsall now trying to get a stranglehold by trying to get Vaughan sent off with some pathetic play acting. Worst I've seen in ages.

 

[kieran_vale]

Should be 3-1. Gilkes saved them again without knowing about it.

Rodney against Santos is the matchup that’s really in our favour right now. He looks like he really doesn’t fancy being up against him so far.

 

[CTFCfan99]

Alfie May and George Lloyd running rings around the Exeter defence so far, they can't cope. Amazing reaction after conceding so early

 

[shoddycollins]

We've been a bit off the pace in the opening 25 minutes and so far we've lost games playing like this.

57% possession too. Think we've lost every game so far where we've had more possession.

 

[Pablosammy]

We look a million miles from the side we have been recently. Constant unforced errors, misplaced passes, overhit long balls. It's frustrating when you know how we can play!

 

[Shrimper92]

We should be winning

 

[Conker]

Mansfield have started well, only criticism you can say is we probably should have got another by now!

 

[Back in the DHSS]

Liam Feeney wooo hoooo

 

[Pablosammy]

Nice finish, 1-1. Hope that settles us and opens the game again, we need our swagger back!

 

[Boz]

Quality finish from Feeney. Need to steady things down now
