Not clinical enough

[Gabriel]

Exeter fans,

Written up some thoughts on your 2-0 loss at Crewe yesterday - http://www.TheFootbalLab.co.uk/2016/clinical-crewe-defeat-wasteful-grecians/

How Tisdale can say you would have won that game 7/8 times out of 10 is beyond me, given that Crewe had at least three clear cut chances including the one Chris Dagnall missed. Thought his decisions were bizarre too - took off Joel Grant, who was key to the good start to the second half, and put on Matt Oakley. Only used 1 sub - no out-and-out goalscorer on the pitch at the end, McAlinden stayed on the bench. I'm frustrated and I'm not an Exeter fan!

Felt Connor Riley-Lowe was your best player. Good luck for the rest of the season.

That's what happens when you have 2 strikers on the bench who don't come on and a bloke starting upfront who averages 8 a season

Simpson does not average anywhere near 8 a season! I wish it was 8!

Maybe had we been able to get a player on loan from Chelsea instead of Reading we might have been more clinical.

Our school nit nurse was more clinical than Robbie Simpson*





*For what it's worth, i don't think we play to what strengths he may have.

Far from certain, but I just hope if Holmes and wheeler can get fit and playing well , that Simpson will benefit, and Watkins and mcalinden as well for that matter.

Maybe Simpson will be dropped in that scenario, or at least realise that he needs to improve to keep his place.

Simpson actually at league level had scored 45 in 13 seasons as a pro.

Average of less than 4 a season....

Laughable really.

Simpson is clearly a target man. He needs runners, preferably a strike partner and balls into the box not tippy-tappy crap. If we insist on playing him at least give him a chance to show something. He has one in six so far this season. He's on course for 7 goals this season at that rate assuming he stays fits. It is not good enough so there needs to be a wider contribution otherwise he's going to be a passenger more often than not.

Wow! Really? That's double his 9 year season average!
