Sweeney had one of his poorest games to date with his distribution of the ball being diabolical.
Moxey was sound defensively but as with Sweeney rarely ventured over the halfway line.
It seems to have become accepted Exeweb fact that our full backs were poor on Saturday.The reluctance or inability of Deano to get forward is clearly an issue but with Woody for and Sparkes improving quickly I don't think he'll play many games at left back. Matt Taylor didn't seem overly impressed with Tom Parkes so I can see Deano slotting back into the centre of defence. As for Pierce Sweeney everyone seems to be ignoring the fact his distribution markedly improved towards the end of the game and he was the only player to put in a decent cross during open play or play a decent pass to feet in the box.
Jake Taylor apart from committing a couple of unnecessary fouls and getting himself booked relatively early in the first half was virtually anonymous.
Jake wasn't booked. The ref, who mostly did a good job on his league debut, gave him a lecture and told him the next foul would lead to a booking.
So summing as the typical end of term report might have said “could do and must do better”.
The most re-assuring part of the day was that both Matt Taylor and Ryan Bowman said the same in their interviews and there was no attempt to claim we had played better than we had.
