I’ sweep chimneys but I could see that was the wrong team and the wrong formation, All these who say it takes ten games to gel, well you got that right, DF either sort it or ship out

Maybe, but I don't throw my toys out the pram just because we don't have a great performance. Which is pretty regular when supporting a league two team

I was totally puzzled by today's team selection ! Rose on the bench ? even Mr Flitcroft must have been aware of his basic mistake of playing just one striker for sixty minutes especially at hjome. Walker has a lot to learn especially about making more effort, he's starting to look like Angol when it comes to heading the ball. Our general play and approach is very good let down by poor finishing.

Why NOT start Rose? Because he is not good enough? Because he won't try and he does Not want to play for M.T.F.C ?
I think IF he gave Rose 6 games those questions would be answered

I think Rose showed enough yesterday to prove he is good enough.

It’s worth noting that Rose was on for just 30 minutes and yet Martin made him his Man of the Match.

Don't blame the striker, where were the crosses, White, Hamilton and Khan all failed to deliver?

What like missing a free header from six yards that Walker had to finish for him?

Whilst some of the football, in spells, is very good DF needs to stop being stubborn and wake up to the fact that CJ is not a wing back and never will be. DF needs to realise that we do not have enough quality in the squad to play the wing back system.
It was very obvious that CJ was more often than not caught way out of position which meant that Sweeney and Pearce were being pulled out of position, making it very easy for Exeter to attack us. Mal Benning on the bench whilst the team is missing a left back - I hope there is a very good reason for this.

Several players underperformed yesterday. However there wasn't much separating us from Exeter who are a good side.

We were well on top in the first twenty minutes. Khan shot straight at the keeper on two occasions. Walker's shot was almost as good as Exeter's excellent first goal, but was well saved by probably the best keeper in league 2. Both teams then scored scrambled goals, albeit theirs created as a result of our defence "switching off".

When Rose replaced Butcher we went more route one, which was a tad disappointing, but it did create clear shooting chances, which we failed to take. To be fair Rose did try and conjure up two acrobatic efforts, but straight at a very competent keeper.

Like everyone else, disappointed with the result, but the over reaction from some on here is comical.

Disappointing that we went more direct !!! It was the only time we really threatened them fgs , it's time some people realise we're in the FOURTH division, you can't tippy tap through most teams you have to mix it.

The teams that usually get automatic promotion from this league are the ones that don't play hoof ball. As did DF with Bury. Notts and Lincoln lumped it last season, got to the playoffs and failed.

Didn't say hoof though did I ? It's about mixing it up and being more direct when you need to otherwise we become predictable. It's also about playing in the right areas and at the right time. Some on here just love to see Bobby roll the ball out to the defenders but a lot of the time when you have pace up front ie Walker, it's better to hit him early and push the opposition back instead of playing in front of them like we tend to do.

As we did yesterday. In fact DF put in place plan A,B and C yesterday. It was down to a few players being off their game and playing against an above average league 2 team.

You mean the header any decent striker would have buried without needing his strike partner to finish off?
