Exeter vs Clown College Orient.

[The Terminator]

I'm not expecting much here, we'll probably stick 11 men behind the ball and get destroyed 4-0 again.

Not won here since January 2001.

We also had 3 injuries Saturday, so our numbers are depleted a bit.

 

[Trapdoor]

We are missing Lee Holmes amongst others which is a bit of a blow for us.

We are on a decent run of form so knowing city we will get nothing from this game. Heart says 3 points, head says nil.

Exeter have a shocking home record this season and if you don't win this you should be ashamed, their away form is a different matter though as it must be among the best in League 2.

 

[The Terminator]

Despite only winning two home games by the end of tomorrow, Exeter will be in the hunt for the playoffs - They have a worse home record than us FFS

Anyway, we've got some spirit back under Edwards, however all technical ability appears to have been thrown out of the window.

I'd play 5 in midfield for this one and one up front, so we can combat Exeters passing game and they two also play with an extra man in midfield it would seems.

However we'll probably stick to 4-4-2 and get overun again.

 

[Grecian O'Grecian]

We're on a decent run but are pretty rubbish at SJP. So for that reason, I'll go for a 1-1 draw. Hope it's not as bad as the game at Orient was

 

[NolansOrient]

Whilst Exeter's home record is abysmal on paper, looking at their last few home games, it doesn't look that bad at all.

Home win against Mansfield and a draw against high-flying Luton in the last 2, not too shabby.

Given our 3 injuries sustained on New Years' Eve I can't see us getting much out of this one.

Will most likely be a narrow home victory, maybe a draw.

No Simpson either for the Os - he's on the way out.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Kennedy at left midfield. Why would anyone play Kennedy at left midfield? Why? Just why.

I expect Terminator to come back and say Kennedy was the only bright spark or something now!

 

[Trapdoor]

MacAlinden makes it 4.

I feel sorry for Orient, I don't think you'll get relegated this year but it's gonna be a close run thing if this game is anything to go by.

 

[Vanni]

Just one goal for Orient and that guy who always puts a tenner (?) on a 4-1 Exeter victory wins his bet.

Roger won the other day with newport result. he doesnt need any more money!

Completely forgot about that win at Newport*. So close once again today!

*not exactly forgot, more like I thought it was a 3-1 and not a 4-1 win.

 

[Grecian O'Grecian]

Good win. Watkins ran the show in the first half, tired a bit in the second. Good to see Harley back starting and scoring and Brown and JMT at centre back were superb again. Just 2 goals conceded in the past 7 matches is the main reason for our good run.

Orient weren't good and didn't really trouble Pym in goal. Thought it at the away game as well but their young right back looks quite far out of his depth. Not sure whether they'll go down but they are probably the worst side I've seen this season, and I've had the luxury of watching them twice.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Judd's only 17. He's got a future but he isn't ready yet. We desperately need new signings otherwise we're down. The squad Edward's has at his disposal is not good enough.

 

[The Terminator]

That result has been coming for a few weeks - A good tonking from someone in the same league as us, the 6-0 we got at Sheff Utd wasn't quite the same as they were vastly superior and the league above.

Always expected Exeters midfield and passing game to outwit our cloggers, even if we'd scored that early chance we had, I'm pretty convinced we'd have still lost anyway.

Our injury problems have also come at the wrong time, our left side was completely makeshift and it badly showed. A 17 year old right back, who has done ok since his first start - But was totally given the runaround today by Ollie Watkins in particular.

Alot of people need to accept that we only have only two quality players in our squad - The two we paid money for Gavin Massey (If he's up for it) and Liam Kelly who is currently injured. The rest are all average League Two players at best.

We desperately need 4/5 new faces to give the squad and the club a bit of a lift, because most of squad isn't good enough for one reason or another - which is something that our fans simply have to accept. We've now got some injuries mounting up as well - Our bench consisted of 5 youth players and now Robbie Weir has picked up what looked like a very serious injury as well. All the foreign players we signed as well appear to have also been shown the door.

Andy Edwards isn't doing himself any favours either, tactically he is looking like another coach who has been extremely successful with a youth setup, but hasn't got much of an idea with a first team - albeit one that is a shambles

Exeter looked more oiled and fluent than they did 5 weeks ago, with potential for a playoff push if they can sort the home form out.

Saw Steve Cotterill on Exeter High Street who was taking in the game, pleaded with him to take the job at our club after Edwards inevitably gets sacked. He laughed and said "not with that lot in charge!" said he was scouting for a mate. Reckon he was scouting Ollie Watkins, Jordan Moore-Taylor or Jordan Tilson myself.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Honestly don't know what Edwards is meant to do.

McCallum
Massey - Collins
Kennedy - Atangana - Weir - Hunt
Parkes - Erichot - Pollock

Is probably the best XI I can come up with (shout out to Carlisle for the formation steal). Does that look any less vomit inducing?
