Stats seem to indicate that if we score first we will win, and also if Exeter score first then ditto. I expect that is the statistical norm, frankly, so not that significant. The big risk is "After the Lord Mayor's ball". I suspect we have the players for the extra space, although Doyle and...

As good a summary of the situation if we stay in Div 2 as you'll find. Shit tho it will be. Allegedly most losing finalists do badly the following year, although Exeter haven't

QUOTE="Nick, post: 1542970, member: 1"]I don't feel as nervous yet but I will do during the game and just before. That isnt because I think we will turn up and hammer them, I havent thought about the match as much as I did the notts C one. That is a common condition , judging by the various...

ordered mine on the phone, after 10 minute wait, Tuesday evening, arrived this morning. I think that counts as "good service"

Do really think Doyle can do another full season, contract or not? Bit of a bummer if we are tied to JCH

I assume 1. We are looking for a squad of 22 plus a few cheap fringe/youth players as back up. 2. JCH goes back, McNulty goes and probably Bayliss. Doyle retires. Reid is ditched. 3. Wainwright is in 4. Ponticelli is a straight swap for McNulty 5. Both our first choice fullbacks are dodgy, altho...

The big risk "After the Lord Mayor's Ball". The upside, we will have a huge following willing them on, twice that of Exeter if not more. It has to count. This could be a high scorer 3-2 to us. Same team but different subs - no point in having two wingers as we did on Friday, Reid will be...

Agreed Forte looks a real handful. Re-further above, I am not sure we need another CH, it is the one area we are blessed in

I was there And the man pictured here scored a goal, deflected off a Wolves defender. Still the greatest day, even more than the FA Cup, because it was part of a 6 year process that carried on rather than just being a one-off

I had that thought, he doesn't stay close enough to Grant, not easy in a crowded penalty area I admit, but Grant got the march on him, and the ball wasn't exactly fizzing across the area

The biggest risk is that even tho they may deny it inside they think it is much easier than Notts County. With no advantage from the 1st leg, we had to get at them, no choice. But I know bugger all, I thought it would be close and we might even get thumped. Maybe if it had been 2-2 .......

For those of us not there, the Sky clip is to short for the second goal. It is not clear who slung the pass up to McNulty that started that move - which was worthy of a much higher grade of football than League 2 - X to McN to Bayliss to Kelly (who must have covered miles at top speed to get...

But does he ever create something out of nothing? Nor, incidentally did I phrase the thought as an "either / or". It was a comment on how we should not assume McNulty is the answer to another team's prayers, by pointing out what is a deficiency, by comparing him with Biamou. Subtle I realise.

Naive comment of the year alert: Surely after this result, and watching that, SISU can see the commercial sense in increasing their investment (i.e. loss to be fair) in City if they are ever to get a sale and be rid of us.

The thing about McNulty is that he is a completer finisher - he doesn't actually make goals very often - I can remember one against Wycombe and one other. Last night's was classic McNulty - smart enough to get himself into the right place so that he could side foot it into the net. If that is...

If we are promoted two new fullbacks are essential. Grimmer ok as back up, but Haynes & Stokes, for different reasons are past their sell buy date

Isn't this how we played during Robbins first brief stint, we were knocking teams over - 5 at Hartlepool I away remember, even Adam Barton scored. It always puzzled me at the start of the season that we were so defensively minded.. It wasn't until the very end that the team` properly loosened...

He'd score a shitload in Scotland.

Only half way there....
