Exeter City vs Northampton Town - match day thread

[CC]

Well said, regardless of whether I agree with you or not.
I love a detailed and analytical post.
Beats the short ones by a mile.

Thanks Bridgy, but if you could generally agree with me as well that would be much appreciated!

I wouldn't say Yan's cross for the luton goal was a highlight, it was more Mitchell's intent and desire that made that moment. Besides...Yan meant to run in a straight line during that moment. He is a carbon copy of an early Pro Evo player.

Wildshutt's cross should have been easy meat for the defender, I think he thought the keeper would come to collect and got caught dithering. Yes Demi was the one that made it happen.

I’ll do my best, but can’t make any promises.
Keep up the detailed ones and you’ll be on the right lines though

Does anyone think the guy who jumped into Silisalo been sent off?

No, the ball was there to go for. If it'd been our guy and he'd seen red for it I'd have been raging.

We managed the game poorly today. And whilst wildschut and Scott have all the physical attributes going, their footballing knowledge on the pitch is atrocious.

So far, Wildschut has proven he is very good at running in a straight line.

Thought they should of played through the middle Wildschut that is not Scott he is no better than Cox in that roll

 

[Memphis09]

Wildschut isn't really going to make the difference in a game. A good debut first half but he's generally not that good, a bench warmer/squad player maybe.

I think when Rankine and Mitchell are fit they're our first choice wingers.

Yanic may not be 100% fit yet so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Scott is running out of chances for me. I'd rather Sonny played, equally as ineffective as Scott but at least he's one of our own.

Agree about Scott and Cox

 

[Memphis09]

Felt really sorry for Sonny today and, to be honest, a bit embarrassed. Their No5 won't have an easier League 1 game this season winning every header and tackle, poor old Sonny had no answer at all. It summed it up for me in the second half when the boy went sprawling after a challenge. He's not yet strong enough and he doesn't get close enough to his marker to get a toe in like Stanno does even though they have similar builds.

I don't think he should play in League One until he's back from a desperately needed loan spell for fear his confidence could be shattered by the bullying he's getting. Scott should have come on for him much earlier.

Just felt so sorry for him.

What did scott do when he came of the bench
Nothing except fall over

 

[lamrobhero]

On his first appearance I thought Yanic looked good - something about his poise with the ball at his feet when facing a defender, on his toes and confident enough to take the ball close to the defender. No sign of that today. Re Kyle is he a continuity player like Callaghan used to be for Liverpool ? (sorry for ancient reference).
My fear is confidence draining from the squad which is especially needed given Gary's style of play.
