Exeter City Post Match Thoughts

[uttis]

Also convenient that Jules was “ill” maybe a good one to miss

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

I felt sorry for the fans who made the long journey, who had to witness the Millers
gutless display.
I was pi**ed off, watching it at home on TV, so it must have been heartless for
the travelling fans.
The club ought to give the travelling fans a free pie & a pint at the next league
one game at the NYS.

Their goal Nombe didn't cover their player on the left what a cross something we haven't got from open play dissecting our defence. If some are blaming Bramall Humphreys also was as much to blame.

Was a shambles of a performance was disappointed in Rafferty playing wing back Teihi Hungbo Hugill JCH in particular. Bramall some are saying but James can't play his role getting up & down the left.

Only a select few people know what happened regarding their Manager and ours.
They are ….were ….friends but he could have been giving SE grief all match away from the cameras for all we know and then he expects a public handshake. The dugouts are joined at together at their ground so a lot probably happens in that close environment anyway.

SE appeared to be shaking hands with some Exeter players at the end so it can’t be sour grapes


I’m guessing a bit here but there’s clearly more gone on here than we think and for people to condemn the attitude of our Manager is a bit premature

Why is it premature? he made a public display of refusing to shake his hand when asked multiple times. The etiquette (the customary code of polite behaviour in society or among members of a particular profession or group.) that is expected was not carried out. Even if he had given him grieve, which by the way you have no evidence to support the fact that actually happened, then the correct think to do is to be the bigger man, shake his hand and speak to him away from the pitch. If that is the type of behaviour that you are happy with then fair enough, but I think it is unprofessional and fuels a fire of Anti-evans (and by association Anti-Rotherham), it is not good for the club or for Evans personally.

A bit disappointed with Saturdays showing.
Exeter were the better side on the day and deserved their win.
However, we missed some sitters and still could have come away with 3 points.

For there goal you can blame 5 different players depending on who you like/dislike..

If Rafferty had been marking the player he was suppose to then nombe would need to mark 2 players.
If nombe had tackled the crosser instead of just waving a leg the cross doesn't come in.
The ball bounced 3 yards from the goal line and in arms reach of Phillips. Same with Humphrey he was only 1 yard away and left the ball...
Bramhall lost his marker and left him free to tap in.
For me it wasn't the goal, chances they missed or the chances we missed.
It was the aimless play. Not being able to pass 5 yards, aimless hoofing to the front men and poor starting 11/formation...

SE has been moaning about looking for a number 10 all pre season. So what does he do. Puts our most dangerous winger in that roll and gives us zero width.
Hungbo and Holmes have been the danger men who can create things. James has been the standout lb and nombe the standout forward.
I'm baffled by SE at times this one backfire big style imo

Your wrong James I've said can't get up & down on the left. Nombe Sheff U friendly was ineffective Osong showed more when he got on in that game. Tell me players we've got who can offer us anything from open play? Mcwilliams looked like he could 1st half Donny testimonial game. Hungbo didn't Exeter game. Nombe he's mobile so sure we haven't seen the best of him only in glimpses.



Just seen Odoffin interview after the Exeter game he said himself he should have done better with the chances he had especially the headed chance. Also how he was talking sounded like he's planning his season ahead with us so hopefully he'll sign a new contract here.

Cayton, a great analysis there pal , spot on! Totally nullified Hungbo's game and wasted the opportunity to attack off the wing. another good showing was Powell when he came on, at least he got us driving forward from the middle which we had failed to do so prior to him coming on.

Nombe. Well if he was s.hite in training then what did JCH do because he is nowhere near match fit and it's clear for all to see him missing out on a pre season is evident. Too slow, should have scored from 5 yard out. For me, Evans must start with Nombe on Saturday.

Tomorrow is the opportunity for JCH to get some more match fitness in against Crewe.

James should have said he's yet to show he can get up & down the left but at his age it's against him doing that enough in a game.
