    Starting eleven for the first game of the 24/25 season

    It's a lot better than last year, pretty much got the defence sorted. with cover for them on the bench. Better with strikers if you count Alli, which I do, still need another 2 I reckon, 4 is what you really need, but I guess Wildschutt is one of them, not keen myself, but ho-hum. Obviously...

    Ollie Watkins

    Yeah. better performance than many matches he's scored in.

    Caldwell out?

    We had made two play-off finals in a row, and whilst the last one was a bit of a chore, the side in Tisdale's penultimate season arguably played some of the best football I've seen at City, after an hideous start. Look I'm fully aware Tis wasn't the messiah many of us thought he was originally...

    Ethan Ampadu

    The point I was making originally was that they didn't give him a chance because he was playing for poor teams, and Chelsea made a huge mistake doing that considering his International quality and his versatility to play in a number of positions. He's still young for his positions, they seem to...

    Demetri Mitchell signs on for City

    You maybe right, depends what type of wages he's offered, but no matter how good a player he is if he has a shot knee, they ain't worth much. Hhopefully the fact we've offered him a contract means that the prognosis is good.

    Ethan Ampadu

    I'm afraid Chelsea sold him cheap to help bring in tons of flops, they may regret that now, and we certainly will regret the money we could have had, but probably worked well for Ethan if Leeds can make it to the Prem, rather than be loaned to another struggling side.

    Demetri Mitchell signs on for City

    I know he's a good player, but I'm not as keen as some, injury plagued player is not my ideal.

    Port Vale v Exeter City match day thread

    Millenic is a star in the making, hopefully can celebrate this oneanother great pick up, and youngsters still coming through the academy, a good striker or two and next year could be our year. The future is bright the future is red and white.

    Another proud day for the academy

    I obviously made a hash of my post, l had been in 'spoons all night, tbf. I meant that our survival in League one does mean we have to make money from transfers. TBH, I don't worry as much as some of you about a period when we stop making money from this, because we keep doing it, it does seem...

    Another proud day for the academy

    The 2 aren't really an exclusive item though, they're entirely co-dependent, lg1 one survival will always be based on our transfer activity, with the yoof and otherwise.

    The Official Exeter City versus Burton Albion Matchday Thread

    Well done lads, think that's it now, we could probably declare and still stay up.

    The Serious Torquay Thread

    Fair enough, if someone said that it was stupid. I don't remember it. I think the argument is if someone with the right intentions and sufficient money that was able to push us forward enough to relinquish Trust ownership, which has kept us solvent for decades now, is willing to come in we...

    The Serious Torquay Thread

    Yeah, classic strawman, certain Turks viewing this might be kinda amazed, that anti-trust City fans are using this thread of all threads to push against our ownership model.

    Injury/Suspension List Thread

    Purrington still starts for me, harsh on whom we drop, but I think he's class.
