Why did I forget my sun glasses! Enjoyable to watch.
Best two players on the pitch Law and Seymour. As noted by others Exeter much bigger than us (Except Seymour), the key issue was tactical we kept lobbing long high balls none of which we won. It was only in the second half when we kept the ball on the ground that we looked in it.
First half Exeter made very few errors, whereas we had a number of silly ball control and unforced passing errors.
It seemed that it was Exeter who tired first, and in the last twenty of so several were no where near as fast, strong or effective as they had been. Then we came into it. Not sure what the second was disallowed for, the only thing it could have been would have been a push in the back by law on the defender. But as these were allowed all game for both sides it was odd start to give one right at the end. Could not be anything on the goalie as he only came into the picture when the ball was in the back of the net.
Randell was mostly playing a defensive role, so it is harder to shine but for the first thirty minutes he looked out of the game. He did then come into the game more. You could see that Law and Randell looked more comfortable on the ball than all our other players, and had more options when under pressure.
I like the look of Angel Wariuh, quick, direct and tenacious - he did not give up. I also thought Rutherford looked very good in the second half, he was atomic in the last twenty. He is strong and stocky and one of the few of our players physically able to dish it back. I could see him making it.
Good for their development, just a shame the first team squad size is too small to have stiffened the under 23s with a few older more physical heads.
edited to note Pursall looked good especially his corners, though I think we should have tried some short corners to pull the, out of their comfort zone.
