Obviously the big question for Saturday is who plays on the left with no Woody or Sparkes available. Do we make a certain Exeweb poster happy and play WIlliams on the left and Richardson on the right? Do we re-recall Hartridge from Bath and stick him at left-back? Dare we play Deano at left-back for a whole game given how bafflingly poor he has looked whenever he has played there recently?
I fear Williams could well be out injured, so we will need a complete re think on how we line up.

I think injuries / suspensions will mean we have to give youth a chance which, IMO, is not a bad thing given that most of them grew up together, know each others games inside out and we can provide experience around them.
Don't think Deano is quick enough to play at LB these days so would recall Hartridge there and would like to see Seymour start with either Bowman (if fit) or Fisher.
Would also recall Randall to be on bench as he played so well alongside Seymour in game v Hammers. Other plus is that he can play in midfield if we are stuck there plus he is a natural finisher from what I've seen so far.
MJ should start too.
To all Grecians travelling - safe trip, sing your hearts out for our boys & show all L2 clubs what being a fan of a fan owned club means to us all. UTC

Wouldn’t panic over last nights result....keep the team as close to last Saturdays line up as possible as injuries and suspensions allow.

Williams (Left wing !)

Jake can play right wing.
If Williams not available have to play Lee Martin left wing.
Not Moxey left back unless their right wing
is guaranteed to be carp.
Wouldn't mind Randall getting a run-out.

Seymour and Fisher to start. Give them an opportunity to see how they get on.

And take direct corners! With Sweeny, Moxey, Parkes, Martin, Atangana and Fisher we have the height. We're a big team now : use that!

Please beat them because they are a plastic club and I dislike some of their owners. :D
Why are they plastic and what exactly does that mean?

Do you dislike them because some local people who are very successful ex professional footballers have a stake in the ownership?

It their club, where I beleive all apart from Beckham grew up. I just don't understand the hatred.

Not every club has to have the same model as us to stop them from being 'plastic'

Err Rooney from Aberdeen. How much are they paying him?

Different models are fine, buying their way to the EFL isn't

So because they can afford good players they don't deserve to be in the EFL?
If a local entrepreneur invested in ECFC and the money helped us to reach the Championship, would that make us plastic and would you be upset because we'd bought our way up?
