Non-league

But does not have the brain. His positional awareness is dire. I know it is a different position but compare it to Hyam's. Hyam is not all that quick but he is very smart positionally. Haynes vaguely covers the area and hopes he can react fast enough. He never bullies an attacker, which Stokes does.

This has been said before on here Grant is a local boy here in Witney (like Dom Hyam I believe) and known to my daughter's boyfriend since school days. Barney reckons he has been sent out on loan twice by Forest because they don't think he is good enough for Championship; so not that 'highly...

Loans were crucial to the brief success under Mowbray. Armstrong and Murphy were both loans. Just look how people are coveting the goalkeeper Henderson at Shrewsbury and admire the impact he made.They can add genuine quality and be the difference between mid-table and the play-offs. And if they...

I also wonder whether the big clubs will see his failings better than we do. They want two things I know for certain - 1. Speed, because that is something that cannot be coached. Is Bayliss that quick? 2. Intelligence / discipline. This is why Fellaini at Man Utd is picked so often - the...

It is not poor grammar. I have it on good authority ( a bloke I know who sets the English exams for one of the exam boards) that "And" is now perfectly acceptable as a word to start a sentence. It is just a linking word, like "But". His view is that there any number of rules that have been added...

agreed

Agreed, Bayliss is terrible at tracking back, unlike Shipley. Grimmer has a lot of potential and should be earmarked for the no 2 shirt next season. He covers an awful lot miles in a match

And Otis notwithstanding Ponticelli hasn't the look of McNulty yet...

Trouble is there aren't enough of them

I think Grimmer is worth persevering with as he is quite young. Yesterday Exeter focused on the Shipley / Stokes side rather surprisingly, because nobody says Bayliss is good at defensive cover. Assuming Bayliss stays, our midfield contenders would be Jones, Andreu, Kelly Doyle, Shipley and...

Goals from defense are bonuses. Even from an attacking fullback like Grimmer

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
