The Official Exeter City versus Burton Albion Matchday Thread

[HH12]

Early goal so that Burton move the bus would be good
Scrappy game i think - but any sort of win most welcome

Up and at em….5-2 incoming!

It occurs to me that I could have written a 'one size fits all' forecast at the start of the month and it would still apply. It rained overnight, it was showery yesterday (including a couple of really heavy downpours), the temperature hovereing around 8/9c and an overcast dull day. To be more precise today, it's currently 9c, there's a 50/50 light grey/dark grey cloud cover, with a SSE wind that's starting to turn around and will end up as S. In between ther will be outbreaks of precipitation - difficult to know whether it'll be mizzle or the full blown rain. The unfortunate thing is that because the wind is so gentle anything that does arrive will take time to clear. There was 5mm of rain yesterday. The bottom of my garden (about 400m from SJP as the seagull flies, is very soggy, although (and this may be a detail too far) I cut the grass on Monday.
As to the footbll, who know? I guess it may depend on which Exeter City side are encouraged to play. At best we could win fairly comfortable, but we could also concede early an be in for a long struggle against the proverbial parked bus.
Update around 13:00

Makes the condition of the pitch even more remarkable. Watching the EFL highlights shows how bad many of our rivals' surfaces are.

A win today and we're over the line, IMO.

Hoping complacency doesn't creep in, need to get the job done whilst we've got a bit of momentum.

COYR!

Oh, good! It's just started to drizzle. Not that heavy rain, but a wetting mizzle. It's 11c and the wind has moved round to SSW, so it could do this all afternoon. The cloud cover is now 100% grey cloud cover, so it's doubtful if sun screen onr sun glasses will be needed during the course of the afternoon. I'm headed for Red Square in about 20minutes (depending on rainfall)

That didn't feel like a mizzle to me

One man's mizzle is another man's rain I suppose !
