    hopefully 3 points, but I don’t know any other club in this division that gets so many injuries.

    Asked the question before – is it the training pitch structure that is creating issues.

    They put four past Orient on Saturday. Let’s hope they don’t like travelling!

    I’ll take another point gladly against such a good side and our well documented injury concerns. We haven’t drawn many this season, maybe tonight they will be like buses and come in pairs. 1-1 sounds ok to me and no more bloody injuries.

    The game we played at there place was when we had the COVID outbreak and players got kicked off the coach on the way down. I can remember we actually played quite well.

    Just goes to show how dramatic our fall has been when we think a point at home against a team 8th in League 2 is a good result.

    If we still had a League 1 play off level team then a point would be poor. When you are 17th in League 2 probably OK.

    Personally I’m expecting them to celebrate my birthday with a win.

    Spence is very unlucky. I get rotation with the games coming so quickly but he hasn’t played alot recently so that’s no excuse.

    Rotations fine but excellent performances have to be rewarded.

    Player rotation but still no place for Turan or McAttee!

    Even Howe gets on the bench ahead of them.

    Well.
    If anyone doubts the value of Gilliead to the team – that first half should have disabused them of the thought.
    In general, it is not lack of effort but rather the absence of intelligence issue which I thought had been addressed.

    Couldn’t agree more les
    Have never seen a team so lacking in the basics
    Hoof and run will get us absolutely nowhere.
    McCardle must be laughing what’s left of his nuts off!

    Tom Newey summed it up, playing at home, but set up for an away game.
    Shocking, no wonder we have no bite up front.

    No excuse, not good enough tonight by a long stretch. Almost like we’d ran out of ideas as soon as the whistle was blown.

    Definitely not going to blow it out of proportion because the results recently have been excellent. Still lots of work to be done though.

    Absolutely shocking, too many changes and probably the weakest starting XI for months, I know we have a lot of games but that starting XI wasn’t set up to win a game and like Vader said Tom Newey summed it up before halftime, this wasn’t a patch on Saturdays battling performance, we offered little today and the stand out players on Saturday were on the bench for 75 minutes when it was too late with the way we were playing.

    This one is on Cox – lame tactics. How many aimless long balls.

    Eisa And Bedeau stand out as garbage in that match. Even Tom got wound up by Eisa’s lack of effort. Not good enough

    For all the positives about certain players in certain games we put in some of the most dour performances I can remember

    Can’t wait to see BS marks per player,if he gives anyone above 4 i would be surprised.I can’t believe how little Eisa and Van Veen gave to the game – is anyone offering a MOM

    Well guys no body will be attacking me tonight regarding the MOM, simply because we didn,t have one, team selection was shite, team tactics were shite, the whole team was shite and very few of them wanted to be playing, they were outplayed from start to finish.

    HOWARD—5—Could have done better with both of their goals.
    O’MALLEY—5—Took some really godd corners, but no forward even bothered to go for them.
    BEDEAU—6—Probably played as well as any of them, but that means nothing tonight.
    KAANAVAN—6—Not his usual self.
    ROWE—5—Has played a lot better, too many free kicks given away.
    BEESTIN—6—No link up between defence and forwards.
    HIPPOLITE—6—Trie but not really good enough, dropped off after half time.
    GREEN—3—disappointing, not involved in anything.
    CLARKE—5—Not any better than he is at full back.
    eisa—3—Not interested, looked non league class at very best.
    LOFT—3—Should be on the bench if this playing system is used.

    SUBS—-5—None of them made any difference, the rot was too far instilled.

    REF—3—Was bloody terrible, blew up every minute, not had a look at the number of free kicks awared, but it must be near 30 to 40.. Blew up contiually, whistle happy prick.

    COX—2—-The team selection was a bloody joke, our best players all dropped to the bench at once, KVV, GILLIEAD, SPENCE, CLARKE all dropped so they can target next Saturdays game at Leyton, and had no intention of trying for points in tonights match.

    This was one of the worse games I have seen by Scunny since starting watching them in 1951, in fact we did not have one shot on target in the 97 minutes, boring shite Cox.

    Observations:
    I have always supported Abo Eisa but good games are currently as rare as rocking horse poo. Not worth a start – must be dropped and made to work his way back into the team. It’s like playing with 10 men. Interesting how Tom Newey mentioned Abo bottling an important challenge.

    Hippo put in a better stint than Eisa, IMHO.

    Lumping the ball upfield is not actually a tactic, Neil.

    Thought that Karacan was largely absent. Loft was not given a single good pass.

    Thought the defence could not be criticised all that much but the midfield was poor. (Who could possibly know whether the forwards were poor or not?)

    I do accept the need for Cox to rest better players in this crowded fixture list.

    I made Exeter the third best side I’ve seen at the SVS after Cheltenham and FGR. Credit to them – they did a number on us.

    Well Premier-iron, I have only kept you waiting for 21 minutes pal, but as you say, it was complete shite, and resting most of our best players suggests that Cox is aiming for points from certain games, and giving up on others, including todays. Actually the team was not much better adainst Cambridge when we were battered, but our fans were over the moon because we got the 3 points, I wonder what the same guys think of tonights match, and their MOM last week was dropped tonightha ha!, wait a minute mine was to ha ha, Cox is a bloody clown.
