Barry Corr & all things Exeter

[OfficialECFC]

Hi everyone, doing a piece for the Exeter City website for Tuesday where we get the views from opposition fans and wondering if you could help me by answering a few questions?

1. First things first; Barry Corr. What are your views on him? Sad to see him go? Will he be a success at Exeter?

2. What are your expectations ahead of Tuesday? Confident?

3. Finally how do you think your season will pan out? And any idea how City will get on.

Any other comment ahead of the match would be great!

Hello! I lived in Exeter a bit and went to a few games when I could be bothered.

1. He was good when he wasn't horridly injured. If he can stay fit you've got a good player there, but the lad's cursed.

2. I guess most people will say win or draw, we're on a good run at the moment but lacking the finishing edge.

3. I dunno. I still look out for results but really have no idea about your squad. Has Steve Flack retired yet?

[OfficialECFC]

He has indeed, he scored an impressive 98 (i think) goals for the club and he's always the player away fans remember. His retirement came before our recent rise up the leagues

1. Barry's a cracking player, he looked a cut above when he played for us in League Two, but he never stayed fit and for that reason alone we made the right decision in letting him go. He could do very well for you though

2. Given our recent form it's a game we shouldn't lose, and after wasting opportunities to win the last couple of games we should be looking to make up for it with a win. It's a funny old game though!

3. It's still hard to say where we are heading. Since the opening day we've looked like a good side in most games and confidence is beginning to rise. I think that a mid-table finish would be far from a failure, but we can atleast hope for a push for the play-offs. As for Exeter, I'd say a bottom-half finish but there are no certainties just yet about who will go down this year

Is Ben going to be quoted on your website ECFC?

1. Wish Barry all the best at Exeter (except on Tuesday)
2. Draw.No.
3. Mid Table for us. Exeter just below us.

[OfficialECFC]

I'll hopefully be able to use quite a lot of your replies and will happily credit them.

His red card on the opening day means we have only had a few games to assess Corr and a few of them have been as a sub so thought it would be good to give our fans some more indepth info about him from the people who know. What was his best moment for you?

Well I hope you're not. With a bit more work you could make those answers monosyllabic.

1.I would have loved to seen Corr stay like a lot of our fans,the trouble is he's made of glass,dodgy shoulder,dodgy back etc,had he not been so injury prone he will still be here now.

2.I think we'll win this game,after yesterdays performance i would have thought they would have had a few polite words spoken to them,which will hopefully do the trick 1-0 to swindon.

3.I think you will do ok to be honest,lower half of the table to which i guess you would settle for.


I love exeter as a place,we was down there in the summer and all those shops keeps the wife happy too.

Oh FFS. The bloke played about 15 games in 2 years for us. We simply had to let him go. He'd probably be injured now if he was still here.

As long as no-one sneezes near him or bumps the bench he's sitting on, in which case he promptly falls to pieces. You don't seriously think Austin is being seen as a replacement for Corr (or anyone come to that) do you? He's a punt, a development player who may or may not work out

[flammableBen]

Oh look! Some classic wishy washy nonsense form paulD.

If Austin hasn't met the grade by the time his contract's run out then we should definitely release him so he can go back to playing non league football.

Eh? I said he's a punt, he'll either make it or he won't, but we've made a modest financial gamble on a player who may come good. The point I was making was that comparing a "punt" player like Austin as a replacement for Corr is just nonsense. How's that wishy-washy? Take it you found them horse drugs you were after

[flammableBen]

I wish/whish/whoosh.
