Suppose i better start it so we keep up our unbeaten run....

i think well lose this one.

2-1 exeter

McGovern with the goal

I forgot what i predicted in the prediction league, but i'm gonna go with 4-0 town. I also thought someone besides Mex had dared start a match day thread and was gonna delete/lock it.

1-0 to Exeter

Second half Swindon we should be called, keep it tight until halftime, and then simple 3pts.

So, Exeter will probably score in the first minute and it's bound to be Barry Corr and 0pts.

2-1 us

Revell
Tippy Tappy Tope


Paynter on the bench

2 - 1 Town (Tope and Macca  :eek:)

We should bloody win this if we are going to do anything this season. This kind of result could say alot about our prospects this year, a cold tuesday night away from home. Ever the optimist i predict a 2-0 win. Douglas to actually have a shot and score, Macklin with a late clincher.

A win tonight, 3-1 Paynter, Greer and Douglas.

Unbeaten run goes tonight. 2-0 defeat.

The quotes from here are now on the official Exeter Web Site.

They haven't cherry-picked those comments at all. Where are Mex's comments? ;)

1-0 win

Revell

i cant believe they didnt put me up on the comments. wankers. i thought i was quite eloquent too.

This'll be a breeze.       3-0 Town

This is the fourth game in all comps I've missed this season. I've turned into a bloody part-timer.

Be to carry on the run so would be happy with a draw as long as it's not in the same nature as Saturday.

Haven't you got a bird or something...the next Bushey Boy then?

Yes, but it's more being busier at work at spending too much on holiday.

I'm going on Saturday, should be a good day.

i forgot we had a game

Go on Greer, sneeze on his shoulder. That'll learn him.

Is it a boring match or boring commentators?

And do we still get half time ska?

Im not sure who the commentators are but one of them called this a derby  ::)

Vic Morgan & Rob Hartley.

this is less than riveting.

That's Rob, and that's not exactly what he said.

Pox doing really well, beating Crawley Town.

Bring back Ed!

exeter on top.

Crawley equalise

swindon pressure

lucas makes a great save.

Lucas great save from Noone, on an Exeter break from our corner.

This commentator sounds more excited about Exeter than swindon.

haha, stiill read that as no-one

me too! titter

Paynter misses chance.

That boy Paynter is magic

our left side sounds good.

Southampton 1-0 Bristol Rovers. Southampton could go point positive.

obadeadi.

Ferry misses a sitter

Ohhh.

A bit f excitement.

Obviously I put too much detail in my reports ;)

Ferry Hit crossbar from Macca cross, headed down, bounced up.

Is the BBC feed still on or are these updates useful?

still on

Just got home from work..0-0 and absolute shite is it ?

ok last 10

Basically, yes.

They are useful for me. Keep em coming if you don't mind.

Following the BBC national live scores so yes, updates very useful as it's about 5 minutes behind the action

bbc wiltshire commentary is still up for those outside wilts but in the uk.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/playlive/bbc_radio_wiltshire/

Result....


Come on Crawley!!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

1 minute added on.

And Southampton still seem determined to do it a point at a time ...

Have tried but cannot get it - won't let me connect.  Doesn't like the cut of my jib obviously

'alf time. Not spectacular but not a disaster

half time finally.......

riveting

Are we there yet?

Why the fuck are they talking about speedway during the football?  I couldn't give a fuck what number Barry fucking Briggs wore in 1967...

Half time walrus.

And they just got into a big final or something.

Either, it was a ot more entertaining than the 1st half of the footy/

byrne sounds like a peado :)

They're in the grand final against wolves after winning the second leg against coventry last night.

609 swindon fans there

609 away fans

We have been alright. Should be winning. Missed a sitter though. Usual flat atmosphere......

Swindon could win the speedway world cup and I wouldn't give a stuff!!

Where's Ed Hadwin?

At the Speedway

:D

Best place for him i reckon.

AMANKWAAAAAAAH

Goallllll!

Amankwaaah is on Fire!

Oh.

I was playing minsesweeper.

Maasai!!!

Yayyyy! Kamanwah scored it apparently, according to the guy on Sky Sports.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAmankwaahwaahwaahwaah.

Sorry it's late. Had a half time soak in the bath.

i love big kev.

1 more should win it

douglas very very close

Fuck me put him up front.

Sweet.

Explain?

Fuck thought that was a pen then

Certainly looked like one...

We really need a proper striker innit.

Hutchinson given onside when miles offside, so suprised that he falls over and then kicks the keeper's head off. Oh dear.

Seems we're determined to do this the hard way, as per...!

I went for a shit. Lucky I took the radio with me.

I was adventuring for the swampy wastes of Morrowind. I still am. Good times.

As it stands at the mo we stay 7th

Was the goal coincident with a 'plop'?

corr off.

Lino not making friends with our Cream Tea loving cousins.

How could the spin from a ball make a difference to being offside or not?

Hutchinson sounds like hes doing well

Hopefully get Revell on for Painter just to fresh it up

another corner......

is one enough again FFS ?

Unrelated fact of the day.

Malvin Kamara (no relation) has scored for Barrow. He has an odd ritual of watching Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory before every game in order to calm his nerves

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/funny_old_game/8044493.stm

His twin-brother Michael, who is the lead singer of funk band Nexus

nearly not, no

Revell for Paynter

Come on then revell show us what you can do.

he really is a mixed bag

on the plus side, if we hold on we're in 6th.

gaaaaah, nerves janglig now. Exeter seem to be putting the pressure on now.

Revell and Hutchinson... :(

lets hope he's not nuts

Gawd. That was terrible.

I hope he is the orange one tonight and not the toffee (my personal favourite/hate object).

Up to 6th on the Live table.

Macca off. Timmy on :(

Oh no we're trying to hold on.

Is that nevillew commentating?

ferry working the channel.

With those boat jokes I'll take a punt it is.

You just had to stick your oar in didn't you?

stop it. now.

JUST FUCKING STOP THE PUNS.

I don't think there's much to worry about holding on here. Can't see us fucking up again.

Why the pun hate?

Lets not row now. I'll stop.

Wind up. Not funny.

GOOOOAAAALLLL

Fuck off Dave.

Where Dave, where?

Why so stern?

1-1 cunty bollocks.

No joke. It happened again.

Suprise.

Oh my fuck

typical

fucking hell

It's all Dave's fault.

arse.

Oh fuckin' hell

Told ya. My radio's fast

fuck sake

Cheers Ben!

Doh!

oh god here we go again

Fuck me!

turn it off then.

You can turn it off Ginginho.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO so close!!!!

you can turn it off in your profile options somewhere.

Clusterfuck!

Arrrghh.   I dont believe this..  we're so close to being a real contender for playoffs this year, but these late goals are costing us...

bollocks

I was emotional. What's your excuse?

Wilson Out

4 minutes...

Cheers, just found it

They will cost us our place in the division, not the play offs!

I reckon timlin is cursed.

The last time we drew 1-1 four times in a row we got promoted.

WE ARE GOING UP

Fuck me we are living dangerously

Late goals were costing us more dearly last season....maybe next season late goals will become a positive for us?

Shit. Again.

shite 1-1

Arse.

And down to 8th.

Wank.

This could be a replay of last season.

Last minute equalisers/losses.

boooo

fuck sake wilson get someone who can hit the ball between those white sticks,so fucking frustrating this is..

Hmmmm. Am worrying that every team goes through a purple patch in the league. Is this unbeaten run ours? If so, are we going to be in trouble come the ned of the year?

Very dissapointing again! We all knew goalscoring was going to be a problem, and so its proved.

Brentford score a winner in 95 minutes. Our unbeaten run goes at Griffin Park, can feel it in my waters.

4 points from 12. What use is this sort of unbeaten run? :doh:

Twat! Your fault......

Well I suppose on the bright side we are 9 games unbeaten and joint(ish) 6th. The season has started much more brightly than I though possible.

But we could be 6 point better off, and then we'd only be 2 points behind Charlton in 2nd!

Oh, and Rovers just scored :(

Good away draw. Happy with that.

I wonder how much that could have been down to macca coming off,once he's gone off we had nobody running at them.I dont like this idea of shutting up shop at 1-0 in the later stages.

Brilliant response !  :D

Although I'm a bit pissed off now, the local tellybox has been bogarded and I wanted to watch the special Brooker Gameswipe. Oh well I'll download it and watch later in the week.

New family guy to watch and a recently acquired addiction to House to keep me going.

Oh well.
We're basically 11 games unbeaten.

If we are serious about promotion then we need to beat teams like wycombe and exeter. Blunt but true. Draws are not good enough. 11 games unbeaten but how many of those are draws? Too many thats how many. Obviously Danny has seen the issue, and although he cannot do anything about it now lets hope something can be done in january if needs be.

At least we doing a tad better than last season, but to be honest a lot of fans are expecting a lot more.

Is House any good? I've only ever seen the adverts for it and my impressions of it are: it looks shit and Hugh Laurie's American accent is laughable.

I've only watched the first 4 or so episodes. It's quite fun in a slightly, but not really, dark sort of way. Yeah his American accent seems a bit off, but it apparently fools a lot of Americans, I think it sounds odd to me because he still sounds like Hugh Laurie.

I like the more sherlock holmesy bits most. Enjoyable enough so far though.

The first few seasons of House were really good, then it went downhill though it picked up towards the end of the latest season. I think the new one has just started in the USA, not sure when Sky are showing it.

draws away from home are good results.the fact we dont kill of teams and maintain leads is a bit concerning though

I really enjoyed House,since its been on Sky i haven't been able to watch it though.Same thing happened with 24 as well.And the cricket.Bastard Murdoch and his bastard money  >:(

In fact i'm more frustrated at the fact he's pinched all the good tv things like an antipodean dick turpin than i am at tonights result.But then we did get a point away.....

House rocks!  Series 6 starts this Sunday on Sky 1

I downloaded the first 5 seasons of House, wasn't even aware it was on UK tv until Sky bought it - I'll be hitting the series record button for season 6. Whilst I'm not Sky's biggest fan, at least they don't keep us waiting for new episodes unlike every other broadcaster in the UK - the BBC are sitting on Heroes until the new year.

Why not just download the episodes you're missing on Sky?

We have to look a sure bet on the coupons  :)

Been watching more house. Whilst House, his Watson mate and slightly predictable hospital lady are all ace enough. Billy Kennedy and chums are already getting a bit annoying.

Please start a new house thread, it's like reading two books at once.

Fucking hell i can't believe how long i've watched this for and not twigged that he's Billy Kennedy.

I love Cuddy and that fit young gingery thing, Dr Remy(?). They're a great reason to watch that show.

Just got back. Same as Wycombe really although we weren't as bad as we were in the 2nd half of that game. We were OK tbh but nothing special. We had our chances. Douglas should have scored but hit it straight at the keeper. Ferry should have scored in the first half etc etc. And then of course came the obvious equaliser we'd all been waiting for. You could spot it coming with about 15 minutes left. We really lack pace upfront and that tiny bit of quality to boot. Hutchinson could have had 2 tonight with a better touch and fraction more pace. Oh well. Roll on Brentford.

I was a bit pissed off that again we only got a draw out of winnable game, and that DW's solutions up front are worrying when he's not even putting Macklin on the bench for a game like that..., but then I watched Jools Holland with Mika and Shakira on his show and promptly realised a draw wasn't so bad after all !

Have to admit to twigging onto the Billy Kennedy thing pretty sharpish. I have been clean of neighbours for over 3 years no after going proper cold turkey. It's been tough.

House is the sort of person Karl would love to be. Which is a bit mad.

He was dissapointing,for me hes not good enough.

Or 4 games without a win

We need a strike partner for Painter / Revell that actually looks like he is gonig to score.

I'm not a fan of this formation, I think in a 442 every player knows their job and what they need to do and where they need to be, and if you need to drop back at the end to defend then players know where they should be in this 4321 / 433 / 451 we are playing it is just not really working now, but I wonder if DW is playing this so he can accomadate Douglas, Ferry & JPM in the middle as all 3 are playing well

Poor game yesterday we didn't really deserve to win but Exeter didn't deserve to win.

1-1 was a fair result, no Idea how Paynter missed from about 3 yards out with his head and Douglas had a good effort saved brilliantly from about 6 yards out.

Manks took his header fantastically but we never really looked like conceding to them at all, theor goal was after them having a period of throwing long balls in the box for the big front man Logan which he got lucky and the one he connected with went in, otherwise we dealt with everything thrown at us, Lucas looked solid as ever in goal.

Up front Hutch looked eager when he came on, Paynter was poor as was Revell when he came on late for Paynter, little service and little quality.

Ferry was my MOM but Cuthbert and Greer played well again, the rest were average, and no one had a really bad game, with the possible exception of Paynter, Macca was a bit off the pace too but made a couple of good runs.

Good long freekicks from Timlin and JPM both saved well by the little orange boy in goal.

PLEASE STOP THE FUCKING SHORT CORNERS!!!!

One of the few proper corners put in the box we scored from.....tells you all you need to know about corners.

Looked like a few more than the official figure of 600 Town fans there.

Their left winger Craig Noone looks a quality player and we struggled to cope with him at times, I would try and sign him from his parent club Plymouth.

Amen to that .

Largely agree with your report JJ,but i'll just add a few things to it.The problem for us all game
was that the midfield never played as a unit,with JPM and Macca both having poor games.
Craig Noone was the most creative and skillfull player on the pitch by a country mile.

Although we didn't have the better of the play in the 1st half,we created the best chances
only to see some shocking misses by Paynter and Ferry.

I'd give Tisdale a bit of credit for  making the tactical changes he did in taking off Corr,
Stewart and the defender on loan from Spurs.He changed his formation to 3 - 4 - 3.
Suddenly for the last 10 mins, we were having trouble clearing corners and crosses and it was
a cleverly worked equaliser,with Logan losing Greer with clever movement and a powerful header.

Overall a game of fits and starts,we need to improve and impose ourselves on teams and to play
with a lot more control from midfield.'Stop the Short corners', should become a fans campaign!

Exactly right on all those points AM.

Wasnt there on Saturday but travelled down for last night.

I enjoyed the match and a point away from home is a good result even though it felt like a loss.

A little bit of me went warm inside as Amankwaaaaaahhh rose like a killer whale to bullet his header home..............like a black Shaun Taylor.....it was superb!

He won his fair share at the back as well...did you think that free kick was in the box..about a yard inside...defo penalty we should have had.

Well, that game was exactly like the Wycombe game.

We were the better side, with a decent striker who takes his chances we would have been 3-0 up and out sight half way into the second half. I dont agree that 1-1 was a fair result in the slightest. Their keeper was much busier than Lucas.

At 1-0 they never looked like scoring, they had fuck all upfront yet still deep down you knew somehow they would score. Dont think it came as a surprise to anyone. We didnt want to say it out loud but we all knew it would finish 1-1. No killer instinct.

Paynter was crap. Revell didnt look much better when he came on. JPM was good, again. Hutchinson looked eager, looked lively. Better touch and an extra yard of pace and he could have got in a few times last night.

Craig Noone was a threat all last night. Tore us apart. Amankwaah couldnt cope with him and thats no way a dig at Amankwaah. Noone > McNamee.

As for the corners, I was going mad each time we took a short corner because they never ever fucking work. John was trying to tell me we score just as many from short corners as we do proper corners. I disagreed and said we were far more likely to score from a direct corner. First direct corner of the game. Goal.

We scored too early. Next game we need to not score till the last minute, then, just then we might hold out.

Our fans, dickheads....well the odd one or two. Chanting greeny army and janners wasnt funny the first time, nor the second time or the fucking 33rd time. We werent playing Plymouth. Exeter is not in Plymouth. Exeter do not play in green.

I was tempted to just copy and paste what I said after Wycombe - its all the same. Exeter are in trouble.

Barry Corr was shit.

Exeter hit the deck all the time and got free kicks for all of them. Hutchinson and their defender were chasing the ball. Their player slides in to get to the ball first and he does. Free kick to Exeter?!

Last two games 1-0 up
Wilson makes some changes
We draw 1-1

Its alright being unbeaten and all that rubbish but its better to lose 1 and win 2 than draw 3.

Not good enough and we still need a striker.

Agreed the Green Army chant was pathetic and carried on far too long.....once would have been too long.

Felt slightly sorry for Barry Corr when we started singing: 'Barry Corr, Barry Corr, Barry Barry Corr, When he gets a bump, He's out six months, Barry Barry Corr'.

Only slightly though and it didn't stop me from joining in.

Thought overall we were the better side, but we didn't take our chances.

Good atmosphere created by us (Until they scored) For an open terrace it seemed pretty noisy at times. Unlike the morgue that is Huish Park.

 :D

Green army got on my tits!

oh by the way - a pic of the pissers!!

That was the good end!!

Yeah the toilet was awful. Truly awful. The whole away end was though to be fair. It was better than Yeovil atmosphere wise as Hertha said. Some good chants. Agree about the Green Army as well. That just got on my fucking nerves and wasn't even funny. Fucking stupid. Despite all that i'd probably return to Exeter again.

Oh and why do some teams still play that crappy song when they score and then dance waving their arms up and down like retards whilst signing along? Fucking annoying.

Sorry, I had this song ready last year but as he was our player thought it wasn't appropriate (although it was) :)


Enjoyed Exeter away really. The ground was a bastard to find, the signs just ended in the middle of nowhere but getting out wasn't too bad. Terrace was nice. Their terrace behind the goal would make an ace new town end!

Yeah, we were saying on the way out how inbred some of our fans were. But I know they had been drinking all day, and its usually people like me annoying everyone else when Ive been drinking all day, so Il have to let them off. Shame it was a saturday, I could have drunk enough not to notice them.

Thought Wilson got the team right. Exeter started and finnished stronger, but in the middle of the match we created chance after chance. We played much better football than the Wycombe home game, some good pacy attacking.

Whilst Paynter wasnt great, he was a lot better than Hutchinson or Revell. Hutchinson is miles off the pace, he looks fast, but he isnt. His brain is as slow as his feet. Revell is a certain type of striker that Danny Wilson seems to like, the Lee Peacock. Hopefully he can get a goal soon. Also hope Paynter can keep his chin up.

Looking forward to watching the same team on saturday. Get the team to work on tap in headers in training this week. Get Kevin Amankwaah to show them all how it's done.

I would just like to thank everyone for the match reports,I cant get to hardly any away games these days so it's nice to get the fan's view's of the games.

Keep them detailed reports coming guys and thanks again,it's all appreciated..

Best game ever.

The worst thing about public toilets is the bloke stood in there with hias camera phone out...

Pretending he's "just taking a snap of the bogs" - yeah, right, like the guy in the playground who's only taking pictures of the swings :)

:D

The Flash uses his flash on the flashers! :D

I chuck em up and you whack em!!
