Exeter City post-match round up

[Accidental]

This won’t be a popular comment and I might face a Pasoti ban but I was raised on Roy Walker saying “say what you see” …. I thought the Exeter fans were outstanding today and really contributed to an amazing Home Park atmosphere. There I said it. Roll me in flour and slap me with wet haddock.

Agree, and to the poster earlier saying what sort of 'real Argyle fan' wouldnt want Exeter to go down, these local games and rivalries are what make this stupid game what it is. By no means do I want them to do well, but the game is much richer for having games like these.

It isn't hard to sing loud when you're assembled in numbers in a good away end. As opposed to their pig trough of a ground.

Cleverley's post match comments and description of the game to Radio Devon were accurate, I thought. Definitely feels more like two points dropped than a valiant draw coming from behind.

His post match analysis is always thoughtful and full of insight, in my opinion. Not a load of waffle and cliche like you hear from some managers. Well worth a listen and demonstrates his growing maturity as a manager/coach. Let's not forget he's still very new to this, at this level too. He will have learnt a lot this season.

We choked today unfortunately. Can't be too hard on them when you look at what they've achieved since our dreadful start. For me, priority number one next season, aside from all the others (buying Mitchell, keeping Tolly and Pebble etc), must be releasing Hazard and getting in a really good keeper. He's been a good servant but for me he is not in the top 3 or 4 keepers in this league and that's what we need.

There’s a bit of a shortage of Haddock currently. Would Basa do?

It was always a 2 season project. We’ll get there.

Also deep down don't we all respect a club being run as they are rather than the rest who throw good money after bad?
I know we didn't play well but I was surprised at their quality particularly the first goal.

Likely to be our top earner as well.

He’s a skillful player with quality in his left foot but is so unsuited to the hustle of league 1.
Can see him and the club wanting to move on this summer

Poor mans Whittaker. For me similar styles of play can look slow and disinterested. Occasionally does something amazing. Just haven’t seen it from him especially after his injury.

Give your head a wobble mate

More of an observation than a criticism, but I guess it touched a raw nerve....?!

 

[Doctor Frank]

So, you would rather Exeter stay up? Why would any proper Argyle fan not want to see this club relegated?

What's a "proper Argyle fan"?

I’m guessing he was signed to play In a 4-2-3-1 formation which would actually suit him as we’d have 2 defensive midfielders behind him to cover the space.

Since we’ve gone 4-4-2 he’s barely featured because he just doesn’t have the workrate or press of Dale or Curtis. He’s clearly not trusted to do the ugly stuff which has to be done as he hasn’t made the starting 11 even when we had half the squad injured.

I’ll be amazed if he’s here next season.

Not in the top half of keepers in the league, more like! Need better next season. But as you say, he's been a good servant and a good pro. We just need to set our sights higher.

People are grabbing a beer, a pasty, going for a pee etc. It's not exactly free flowing in the concourse.

I’m a proper Argyle fan and have been for many years and I don’t want Exeter to be relegated. I enjoy our local derbies more than watching a Stevenage or Wycombe. I’ve got more time for the way they try to run their club that for teams who just throw money about.
They were better than us today and we only just about deserved a draw. I just don’t get all the vitriol being spouted. If that means I’m not a proper fan then clearly I’m not.
