    Player of the season

    Agreed that there's plenty of time to go, but Jay and Bowman are fair shouts. Key and Randall have had excellent effectively debut seasons, but not sure that either is in the running for me. Got to have the centre midfielders in the running. Archie Collins has become a rock solid and somewhat...

    Matt Jay

    Would imagine that Wheeler had/has a pace advantage too. Jay doesn't seem to be a slouch, but Wheeler was pretty rapid.

    10 matches down and what do we think?

    Yeah very decent start. Obviously everyone is in the same boat regarding the pandemic and had to cut their cloth accordingly. I did wonder at the start of the season whether we'd been slightly overly cautious with our wage bill in view of the high likelihood of money coming in from Watkins and...

    Furlough the players to avoid a cashflow crisis

    My issue with this is that, on reading the club statement, I assumed that we have furloughed the players. It says that the majority of the staff have been furloughed and thanks to the staff, including players, for their support. As I see it, there are two options in this scenario: 1) You...

    The Big Bank Theory Podcast. New podcast, new episode!

    Yeah good stuff. Enjoyed that. Nice break down. Although would say that we maxed out on Watkins. Think we did well to hang onto him until the end of that season. Subscribed on i-Tunes, so will deffo listen again.

    Vegans v Grecians - Match Day Thread (FGR vs ECFC)

    First time that I've been in the home end for a City match and an interesting alternative perspective. Got chatting to a FGR season ticket holder who said that a reasonable number of neutrals had started attending their games (which I think he assumed we were as we retained a respectful silence...

    FGR tickets wanted

    Yeah that'll definitely be the way forward if no joy with spares.

    FGR tickets wanted

    Foolishly assumed that this wouldn't sell out, so don't have a ticket. If anyone has tickets and ends up not being able to make it, drop me a line. 3 of us planning on heading up from Bristol if I can get hold of tickets.

    City v Liverpool - Ticketing Arrangements..

    It's a fair shout to include 1931ers, but I suspect it's a moot point. I am one, but have been a Trust member for far longer. Can't imagine there are many, if any, who didn't join 1931 post becoming a Trust member, as opposed to instead of.

    Former Grecian turns career to law

    Horrible ****er (BH not JB). Used to play for Wonford on Sundays and trying to break legs was his MO. You were happy to come off the pitch walking, regardless of the result.

    No Frear

    My favourite variation on this thread has to be when a few Exewebbers started going nuts about the fact that we'd let Sean Canham go in 2005 and he got picked up for a trial by Charlton 3 seasons later. "What a **** club we are. No faith in youngsters. Should have held onto him etc etc." Yeah...

    ECFC vs Sheffield United Matchday Thread

    I genuinely don't care if we never win a friendly again in my life. Friendlies serve their purpose in terms of trying things out, but the outcome is completely irrelevant. I'd swap losing every remaining friendly this season for a consolation goal in a league loss they mean so little. The latter...

    Duo strikers

    OK let's go through this one more time... We are a team called Exeter City. We are not a team called Chelsea/Manchester City. The reason that this is important is because they have effectively infinite amounts of money and we do not. These are basic points, but things that some posters forget...

    New 1904 Designed T Shirt

    Yeah I'd be up for one of them.

    Optimism

    I wouldn't be so sure Barum. I have it on good authority that our man in "Phoenix" is a mere 33. Creative persona though I'm sure you'll agree.

    Optimism

    I'm as optimistic as I've been going into a season as I was since we finished just outside the League 1 play-offs. We fell short of the play-offs last season. But not by all that far. We got surprisingly close given the abysmal start and the dreadful run at the start of the year. For some...

    James Hamon on Five Live

    No idea if it's still the same place, but I remember back in the day City players used to live in the house by the mini-roundabout where Pennsylvania Road becomes Longbrooke St.

    Christy - So far, so good?

    If we don't keep a clean sheet today Pete...on your head be it. I'm frankly aghast at your lack of response. It almost makes me think that you're only on here to get a rise out of people and aren't really serious about the goalkeeping future of our beloved team. Please consider my offer to set...

    Christy - So far, so good?

    I feel I've made a fool of myself Andrew. I humbly retract my suggestion that I was the first to think of this, although that said I wasn't proposing that Pete should be flown back and forth. His perceptive analysis of all things glovesmen based seems in no way to be hindered by his geography or...

    Christy - So far, so good?

    I think it's fair to say that this is fact, rather than opinion. May I be the first to suggest that, whilst Tisdale's tenuous grip of outfield first team affairs has steered us into the play-off positions, clearly the only way that we can maintain, let alone improve upon that, would be if he...
