Exeter City vs Rochdale match day thread

[SEA Grecian]

Att 6935. Another sell out and this time 500 fewer people counted.

Don't understand.

There were probably no more than 300 people in both parts of the away end.

Rochdale didn’t anywhere near fill their allocation, and neither did we in the away end. It wasn’t a sell out.

It was good to see Matt Jay come back to the party. He looked more like the Matt Jay we have expected to see after last season and the early part of this season. Even Matt Taylor said it was his best game for a while. On the whole, once we had got past the usual 15-20 minutes to get going, it was another comfortable day at The Park. Rochdale looked pretty good on the ball and threatened us before we woke from our slumbers but once we got going Rochdale didn't have the cutting edge to stop us. We should have been playing against ten men for most of the second when their centre half should have been sent off, before he was immeadiately subbed off (that tells it's own story), for a deliberate elbow in Ozzie's face. Anyway, on to Tuesday nights promotion party and us shutting the gap down on The Vegans again.

Fairly comfortable win, in a way was glad that Stubbs was out as it gave us the excuse to not drop Diabate. The makeshift back three done alright. City didn't shine as brightly as I'd hoped but who cares? We're nearly there, perhaps when we beat Barrow people will stop worrying about clubs like poxy Harrowgate or whoever overhauling us and start to realise that the title is a definite maybe!

After a few wobbles against Tranmere I thought Diabate was outstanding today. Of all our promising youngsters it wouldn’t totally surprise me if he’s the one who is sold in the summer.

He was rock solid defensively if unspectacular on the ball, just did what he had to do.

Oh okay. Thought the club put it out that it was sold out.

I had a ticket for the away end but I went up the jungle path and straight through onto the Bank. Wonder how many others did that.

I was selling from the ticket booth up until kick off.

They definitely should have had 10 men. Mcnulty clearly front OZ out of play and elbowed him on the face. The fact he came off shortly after further proved this.
