You’re too negative man .
Portsmouth had zero answer because of our brilliant defensive play.
To me , it was a magnificent performance full of grit, hard work , desire and determination.
did you see the two free headers we gave away at the back post in the first 10-15 minutes?

does that marking fall under brilliant defensive play ? just wondering.

your too enthusiastic - so why don’t we meet in the middle and agree it was a good point against below par opposition on the day

also how have you given our keeper a 9.5 rating when i think he had 1-2 saves in the whole game.
2 MASSIVE saves mate .

I have you wrong Malcom.
I've met and spoken to Gui a fair few times over the years when I was in Reception and the Club Shop.

A positive bloke and a City fan.

because he’s a forward and Taylor is a midfielder , regardless of if he’s good enough or not playing square pegs in round holes doesn’t work , Diabate up top doesn’t work because he’s a centre half , Jake Taylor up front doesn’t work because he’s a central midfielder.

if you play people in there proper position and give them a chance it’s surprising what happens hence Diabate & Cox in recent games.
Oddly enough Creds, you'll find Taylor played in midfield. Aitchison took over the central strikers role when Cox went down with cramp before he went off and Cox was playing a more withdrawn for the last few minutes he was on the pitch.

Aitchison is a forward, more of a ten variety, than Taylor who is a midfielder.

Neither's Scott. I'm also not bothered.

Taylor played on the left where Niskanen had been, Niskanen moved into the middle where Aitchison had been, Aitchison moved forward to where Cox had been and Rankine stayed where he was. That's how I saw it anyway

Credit must have been watching Eastleigh rather than Exeter to see Jake Taylor playing ! :unsure:
