Romared Match Thoughts Exeter City v Barnsley

[Jules88]

Much better second dig and clearly benefiting from Clarke reading them the riot act at half time I suspect .

More intensity , we worked harder and were more positive .

First half we made Exeter look much better than they actually were .

Saying that I'd take their central defender Tristan Crama all day long who is on loan to them from Brentford , absolute class act and has one thing we haven't got , pace .

Who the feck is running the recruitment strategy these days ?

Whoever it is ? hasn?t replaced Cole, Mcatee, Kane, kitchen, Williams, cadden, Sibbick, Mowatt, Woodrow, Morris, Isted, Mawson, Arblaster, Thomas, Les Lea, Ironside, Downes, Millar, Earnshaw. Beaumont Asquith, lol Chappel??? just to name a few??.
I will be listing them every other post (Copy/paste available for replies too)?..

As others have said, first half was poor. We looked awful going forward and a bit disjointed defensively.

First 20 minutes of the second was much better. We looked fluid on the ball and played the game much higher up the pitch.

2 very different goals. Nwakali?s was individual brilliance and great technique. DKD?s was a fantastic team goal and very well worked.

Going back to Nwakali, he has to be one of the first name?s on the team sheet now. He very rarely wastes anything and is always available/has time on the ball. Phillips coming back from suspension might mean that Russell?s time in the starting eleven is up.

I think Phillips will be sold and nwakali replace him. Think Russell will stay. Quick feet (not runner) keeps moves alive

Killip would be my man o match kept us in the game first half and the save in the last minutes.

Kelechi Nwakali 93.3 per cent passing accuracy today.

Kelechi Nwakali 93.3 per cent passing accuracy today.

And the team total was 74%. Take Nwakali out of that figure and it doesn?t say very much about our passing. I?ve moaned about this before but it?s a real problem, puts us under pressure.

Otherwise we?ll done on the result just what was needed.

Assuming that passing accuracy for the team relates to the 10 outfield players Eths, taking Nwakali's contribution out leaves an average passing accuracy of 71.78% for each of the other members out the team. Not that much worse than the 74% figure so not as bad as you might think I suppose. However, you have to ask, if one person can do it, why can't the others? I've not seen a game yet but listening to views expressed on here, Nwakali seems a real prospect.

Poor goal to concede. Something tells me the injuries, and suspensions now, may not be the poison chalice.
Not the best performance, some rough. A result non the less.
Take that. ….and party.

Every now and then and it is every now and then in league one you see a player who is way way above the league he's in .

The thing that really pyssed me off is that Tristan Crama is made for playing in a back three system , hell would freeze over before we ever play with a back four again !!

Most of the time players are shoehorned in to a back three system but Crama is made for it as the middle man with two either side .

How the hell can you miss a player like this who is available on loan for the season and could even buy him ?

What the hell are these people doing all week ?
