I just want to see us give it a go, it’s pretty simple. I can take losing (a lot), I’m an Exeter City supporter. I started watching a struggling side in 1995 and I’ll probably die doing the same. I wasn’t raised on relatively successful 70s, the 80s cup run or the of title glory of 1990. I’ve never seen us win a league.
The near enough 4 months of the most dire football was like watching paint dry. The results were also terrible. Not a happy bunny.
I then saw us scrape a couple of wins, in between more losses and bad football. They didn’t give me much hope as it was the same turgid stuff.
Lasr two games have interested me a lot more, moving the ball much quicker in the final third. Less dithering. Players like Aitchison - who a lot of people had written off - finding his feet and loooling to drive into the box. Previously only Yanic would do this for the 30 minutes or so he was in the pitch.
The approach HAS clearly changed in the last two games and gives me something to back. If you want to kid yourself and believe that we have been playing like that the whole time - please go ahead. You’re fooling yourself.
If we play like we have been for 180 minutes, then I’m happy for GC to develop it further. Last season showed some real promise in his approach and technical football - which is why this season has been so disappointing.
