Exeter City v Cambridge United (H) EFL D2 Match Day Thread

Livening up a bit. Got a double half time

Nearly scored at the end of the half, Martin shot blocked on one on one
Drab first half but at least we haven't conceded, Parkes has impressed me though

 

[grecIAN Harris]

Well there's 54 minutes if my life I won't get back. Total dirge.

He should have done better.

 

[Rosencrantz]

Too slow to the ball, disconnected, change of formation to 4-2-3-1 not really working as just long balls to Bowman with no one running beyond him. Only bit of quality was the ball from Archie to put Lee Martin in at the end of the half.

At this stage, the only explanation for playing Richardson on the left is that Taylor wants to annoy GrecIAN Harris

 

[grecIAN Harris]

Not convinced by Richardson. Does he have a left foot? I'm sure he tried to cross with the outside of his right foot rather than use his left.

 

[SEA Grecian]

As others have said that was a fairly attritional half of football. Parkes has been in full beast mode and for all Cambridge's possession and corners I don't think Maxted has had a save to make. The few times we've got possession and tried to play football we've looked dangerous with Martin looking lively. However, we really miss Nigel's bite in midfield it feels like we've lost every 50-50 and as a result too many times resorted to the bad habit of hoofing aimless long balls forward. Also not sure why we've gone back to four at the back as it means Nicky Law is stuck out on the left and has struggled to get in the game.

 

[edwin_price]

To put a positive spin on it, we've played very poorly, but it's still 0-0 and you'd probably say we had the pick of the chances.

 

[Oldsmobile-88]

Att 4,517 inc 86 away.
