Loved that second half. See what happens when we play a bit more direct and put a bit of faith in some local bauys. Wish Caldwell would do it more often mind. Cheltenham games massive now

Harris had to stay on you clown otherwise Woods would have been playing in central midfield on his own after Carroll went off injured. Or would you sooner have one of our wingers playing there?
I'd have had Harry Kite for the job but happy to stick 12 wingers on the bench instead.

True...though didn't Harper end up having to play in centre mid when Woods went off?

Accept what? We had a chance to win that, Bolton were poor in the 2nd half and their keeper was a shambles. Was crying out for Harper and Rankine on the counter but he kept Niskanen and Harris and a knackered Aitchison there which let them right back in it
By saying that you have just exposed how little you know. Your suggestions would have lost us the game so perhaps sometimes think before letting the bile spew

Because there wasn't any options left. It wasn't done by choice or design

A good point (for you and me) and it sounds like it was an exciting second half with Cox celebrating his contract extension. A couple of opportunities to back it up next week as well; you could be virtually safe this time next week :)

Pathetic first half completely no attacking intent whatsoever enough said….Second half the complete polar opposite with City on the front foot scoring a couple of superb goals and the Bolton goal living a charmed life at times a draw a fair result over the 99 minutes..but a game we could have probably won if we’d actually believed in ourselves from the start.

Yes by taking Niskanen off and bringing on Rankine to have some pace on the counter would definitely have cost us 2 goals, rather than the 1 we did give away.

You'd believe anything Caldwell did was right so not gonna waste any time on you this evening.

Of course we won't be, this is Exeter we're talking about!

Can never work out if you are on a mad wind-up or if you just genuinely have no idea about football. Think I'm leaning towards the latter.
