Exeter City v Cheltenham Town Matchday Thread

[antman]

I'd like to see Robbie Simpson start with Jayden Stockley today. I thought they combined well on Friday.

.

Robbie Simpson is showing quite a bit of technique and passing ability, and just all round sensible getting in the way of opponents to keep the ball which we lack sometimes. Stockley suddenly got the ball a lot more when he came on, but that may have been down as much to the point in the game, with us throwing more men forward generally. Cheltenham have scored more goals than us this season but have conceded a truck load, and when we played there they opened up on the counter attack very easily. I'm not expecting very attacking tactics today, so I'm wearing my hard hat on Exeweb, but here as ever.

I'm studying abroad in Sydney next year, how hard is it to keep up with the footie given the time difference? Like are you usually up till about 2 if you want to catch a big game?

The 3pm's are difficult KWS because it ranges from a 2am kick-off from October to March to the "good time" of Midnight now. The evening kick-offs are a bit easier.

If we're going to launch aerial ball up to the front it would work better if there were two players to get those high balls.

Sure, I would prefer us not to do that, but yes. I would actually like to see McAlinden back in the 11 for this one, is he fit?

The wind has gone round to the south and increased in strength to 3-4. The result is the cloud is now white/grey rather than simply grey and somewhere in the upper stratosphere the sun is trying (without much luck) to break through. It's a rather dismal weather ending to what has been the sort of bank-holiday weekend that makes potential visitors think of trips to Tenerife rather then Teignmouth. At least for the moment there's no drizzle, but there could be during the course of the afternoon. It'll be chilly too, as the 'real feel' is 6-7c. I think there could be a large group of previously unused youth players on the bench this afternoon. If the answer is "Harley", what was the question?

Who will not make a crunching tackle in the match tonight?

The match is a 3oclock kick off and not "tonight" by the way. Also the games are off at Morecambe and Chesterfield -both pitches waterlogged.
