Forest Green Rovers v Exeter City MDT Papa Johns Trophy 7pm KO

He’ll be a decent player in a few years time but he’s simply not ready yet.
Tall but not physically developed at this age.

 

[DawlishBouy]

Crap camera position. Incompetent cameraperson. Hideously inane commentary team. Senior players looking totally disinterested. And of the youngsters just Lee & Cox, who we already know about, looking anywhere near League standard. That was not fun.

 

[GrecianHarry]

We are still not technically out...

 

[Sexton Blake]

Tonight's game has no reflection on what will happen at Gnome Park. 7 of tonight's team won't start, we'll have a new manager, Argyle will have lost theirs. Less than 2 weeks ago we beat Barnsley away comfortably and you're talking about nationwide humiliation against our rivals. Glad you're not giving the pre match team talk!

The last sentence totally unnecessary and a lot of things have to go in our favour and against Argiggle to give us even a sporting chance……whether we like it or not they are currently on a very good run winning well against other Clubs at the top of the league and not just scraping home.

Minutes where given to those who needed it, and game time for the youth coming through.

I think we've established at this point that KN won't be getting the job, and a turning point will come very soon.

Harry Lee played well. Of the other young players it's clear most are in need of more loan time to get experience of men's football. It would be nice to have a stronger team out but not if it weakens our next league squad.

He did, but Sonny Cox also played well. Set up the goal and on two occasions the only way they could stop him was to take a booking.

Not ashamed of performance (youth team v men) but will not excuse experienced pros like Sweenze not going over to the 75 loyal Grecians in the N stand at the end - shame on you Sweenze thought the club / fans meant more than that to you !

thought he was a proper chap

 

[denzel]

the stats say we had 3 shots of which 2 on target. Aside from the goal what/who were the other two shots?

any idea on the attendance and away numbers?

57 Grecians out of 729
