Updated with the Mansfield result (didn't make the minor adjustments to team's league positions yet):

The notion you can stick a league table and merely extrapolate it for the whole season is absurd. It means no teams below would extract more points per game then they are now. History shows teams do - Exeter were near the bottom and ended up in the play offs.
It was a clear penalty contact was made by Doyle who charged at him and made contact. The laws of the game are clear.
The lad himself said he slipped. The player says it wasn't a penalty. You arguing with the player himself at the centre of the incident?
Okey dokey.
Let's leave it there then eh.
Geoff Hurst's shot did go over the line against Germany - time to end all of this. Be glad when the Lincoln game is under way!
Lets hope we don't lose that one its only a couple of days after the game and still at each others throats
Nope. Same player, but he got booked after. Slip incident in the first half, simulation was in the second.
Yes I mean he’s been booked for simulation during the game. As the referee saw fit not to give a penalty I would suggest he’s not really going to want too much attention on the incident - wouldn’t you?
so, Exeter maintained their form when near the bottom of the table and yet ended up in the play offs ? that's absurd !
As you can get done for diving after the game now like the player did before.
Would be interesting to know if you could if you had been booked in a different time in the game for it.
one when came into him from behind or something. tbh i wud say both were pens,we got lucky
My immediate reaction to that late one was Penalty. Looked like a clumsy trip and a 2nd yellow for McDonald.
No - you are saying if we maintain our form we will end up in the play offs - that assumes no club below us will improve.
McNulty, Nazon and Ponticelli for starters.
Ponti and the Duck the jury is still out on.
Ponti is only just getting his chance.
The Duck looks like he can put the ball in the back of net. The only question is if he can do it consistently.
McNulty is not ruthless. He is a good player at this level but not a ruthless finisher.
I actually quoted Mark Robins response after the match. (He saw the match as well)
The chances are spoken about on here and in the match report. You also went to the game (Which gives you a superior opinion,)
So I assume you saw the chances?
and that no club above us gets worse
I assume the below is a waste of time as well then ?
GW17 - Where we WILL finish this season
So you aren't going to list them all then? You keep banging on the same about how there are so many but never seem to want to discuss them.
Robins said we were unlucky to lose -we we weren’t and we created very little after the first 15 minutes.
Correct - it is a waste of time - if you ran this over current form so it takes real short term variables of may have more merit but it’s very crude and basic.
That was the second one wasn't it? Getting confused now.
First one is where the ref said no pen, Doyle stepped out of the challenge and the player says he slipped.
Second one was in the second half and he got booked for simulation. I did think that was a pen.
Third one I didn't see.
So you talking about the second one?
