Bit of a nothing game to be honest. Looked solid enough but neither team really putting enough together to score
Was always going to be a tight game

Enjoyed that. We look tighter at the back,for sure. All the new loan players look impressive - Tomlinson and O’Brien very much so.
Could go either way, this. Exeter look very decent.
I didnt really enjoy that much at all, and I think Exeter look very average we are just giving them too much time and space. Defensively they look like cloggers and not pacey at all. Could go either way with a wind assisted goal. Tomlinson is a star in the making with a great delivery and positioning. |

Pretty easy to pick out the standout players in that half - Tomlinson followed by O'Brien. Cooper and Odimayo made a couple of decent challenges. The rest have been inconsistent.
The midfield has been overrun again.
Upfront, Davison isn't as good as Simpson, who made space for McKirdy. With noone to make space for him, McKirdy has looked poor.

I do wish you'd give the oppo a bit more credit sometimes PV. |

Scrappy, chances, no real pattern, could be winning. Not sure if that was good or bad to ne honest.
Our defensive approach really annoys me. So passive. Just drop into set positions. Today especially, with the wind, there were multiple times where we allowed their player to drop and get the ball from the keeper. Some players were thinking of pressing but nobody else was signaled. Two players worry about one player. Needs work.
Tomlinson has looked a real upgrade. We have two full backs on the pitch who can use both feet. His crosses were deserving of someone anticipating them.
Gladwin is a waste of space against any team with energy. The game is too fast for him. Sad because he has some talent in that right boot.
Get some shape on the ball amd we can go on to win. Get pinned in by the wind and it could go the other way.

Barry for McKirdy 2nd half is about all I can see. Maybe Iandolo for Gladwin.

Of course I am biased but I dont see that much in them TBH ther finishing so far has been poor and we have stood off them letting them dictate the play in the middle. Defensively they look slow, they are a top half side but I dont see them as being title challengers. |

Security repeatedly asking people at the back of the DRS to sit down.
Quite why I don’t know.

Daresay Williams will be pulled sooner or later. Maybe for Ellis?

I would do this, East is a 45 min player and first half on Tuesday he looked decent but 2nd half he looked poor hence being taken off. |
