Stevenage vs Exeter Match Day thread

After last week's home draw and Matt Taylor's post match interview, I was expecting changes to the starting eleven for today's game. I hope this isnt yet another season where too many draws cost us.

Well it was bound to happen, he's not going to be MOM every week. He's still only 21 and he's only had about 60 1st teams games

Alex Hartridge born 9 March 1999 - 22 years 7 months old.

Yep sounds like Matt was just trying to give the current first 11 a kick up the @rse because these changes he talked of didn't happen. We've got a big squad, he needs to use it.

So frustrating to have drawn, but we are only three points of third first it was the attack not scoring and now it's the defence not stopping, when they get it together watch us storm up the charts

A frustrating result for a decent performance. We were the better side for long spells and got ahead twice but then conceded soft goals a bit out of the blue. Second equaliser looked well offside initially but it was probably a tight decision with Sweenz being deeper than Hartridge.

After both equalisers the game tended to open up more with chances at both ends, particularly the second half when we switched formation. Just a shame Dieng's shot came back off the post as 3-1 would have more than likely have been a decisive lead.

Good point away from home,but we aren’t going to be in the plays or autos if we keep getting draws and not putting these games to bed,teams like Harrogate are emulating what we did when we came up from the conference,and their are some teams getting their act together,having said that it is early days,but we need to get in the habit of winning,not drawing games

We drew 23 times in 1986/87, aiming to beat that this season?

As well as 3 points behind third we are also 4 points above 19th.

Yes, just seven points separate the 17 teams from 3rd to 19th!

Nope. 2-2 FT

Sadly , if we don’t stop our draw specialists‘ act , the autos will end up beyond our reach.Need to kill off opponents. Seventh place and a playoff spot might be within our reach , but given our recent Wembley history I wouldn’t bet my shirt on us going up that way.

A frustrated Matt Taylor saying he’s close to starting with Edwards and Coley in the Radio Devon interview, also it’s not fair to keep asking Caprice to play in the left wingback position.
