Not much going forward but looked fairly solid at the back. Taylor, Freestone and Long all decent. Just wish we’d move the ball a little faster at times but hopefully it’ll improve when Alfie and Dan are back. Few idiots in the PRE booing WE at the end, not sure that was called for. That’s a shame ...

I have never said Tozer wasn’t honest nor have i insulted him. Just criticised his ability on the ball. I am chill and relaxed - my long posts are just to try and calm you down. It obviously bothers you else you wouldn’t the need to “pull up” my straight forward comments. Looking back to your and m...

What I don’t like is stupidity. And mistaking ‘recognising strengths and weaknesses’ for ‘inconsistency’ is stupidity. Long is a great CTFC player and his experience and fight is important. But I think he is too slow for CB and is being found out this season after one season too many being played o...

Sprout Picker

Noted. Apologies. I didn’t realise nuance wasn’t allowed anymore. Players are either good or bad, and anyone who points out weaknesses of good players or strengths of bad players doesn’t know what they are saying. As for Ire? I have no ire with Tozer. Nor am O deriding him. I just made a throwaway ...

Please can we go out to win the game tonight. No sitting back seeing what Morecambe are made of before we start pressing and attacking. Especially if we are going to finish up goal(s) down at half time. Come on lads, let’s do it, let’s get these three points tonight! This. We were decent vs Shrews ...

Sprout Picker

We were the best team in the division, with probably the best CTFC team in my lifetime. Most of that team went on to achieve the highest ever finish in the Club’s history. I have never suggested otherwise. You don't know what you're saying; just arguing for the sake of it as usual. Probably the bes...

Hats off to them, should make for a good atmosphere. Let's hope we actually get on the front foot and turn up!

Duff who was happy to sell him and then achieved the highest ever finish after he’d left. Would have been interesting to see if Duff gave him much game time in L1. We will never know. I personally think it would be like when Parslow and Downes were calamitous in L2 after getting us promoted. Not su...

Shade wrote: ↑18 Oct 2022, 19:29 Does it matter if we top the group? I mean, is there more prize money, or do 1st place teams only place 2nd place teams in the next round?

MH on Radio Glos. said topping the group gets you a home draw in the next round.

Sprout Picker

Very mediocre performance. Young lads Walters and Sambu did well. Keeper looked competent.

Play slow and ponderous, Brown in the right place for his goal. Bradbury out of position a couple of times but also a couple of good blocks.

Hoping we're a bit livelier at Burton on Saturday...

That’s your opinion which is fine so we’ll agree to disagree. Football is a game of opinions after all and some will have ones similar to you, some similar to me and some completely different. Back on topic. Great draw. Be nice to see Brown, Lloyd and Norton get a goal each. Bring on the Sand Dance...

I wasn’t talking about Man City where everyone was superb. I was just making a tongue in cheek commentary on his usual weekly mistake. It was heart in mouth whenever the ball went towards him at the back, like it was for Boyle, even if on the whole all the defenders worked well together in that sys...

Sprout Picker

More likely 3-0 to us. One 20p headed ‘clearance’ from Tozer giving us a goal. One slip-misplaced pass combo to gift us the second, and a third on the break with Long or Adshead ‘outpacing’ Tozer after giving him a 10 metre head start. I don’t recall him making any such errors when we played Man Ci...

Sprout Picker

Guaranteed TV game though Just what we need, being knocked out on BBC1 at 12pm on a Saturday after Tozer lobs one into our box... and he'd celebrate. More likely 3-0 to us.

Merthyr away would be brilliant IMO. Proper throw back

Sutton United away wasn't that long ago.

Agree. Very pleased to see him stay at the club, the whole operation seems better on the football side since he's been here.

Perhaps send Sprout a DM with the service you use.

It'd be interesting to know for future reference not that it's usually an issue as I'm abroad anyway.

Unless you somehow make the system think you are accessing from another country. Unless you know something I don’t you’ll find that won’t work. Or at least not particularly well.

I escaped the UK a couple of years ago to move to France whilst I still had the option before Brexit made it harder to do. Glad I did as the UK increasingly starts to look like an absolute basket-case run by a group of people who seem hell-bent on using tax-payers money to line the pockets of their ...

Definitely a game of two halves. Surprised how Cambridge backed of us second half we seemed to have a 10 minute spell of keeping possession which gave us some confidence and then looked a different team. I thought we looked much better with the change of formation and 4 at the back. Worth rememberi...

Real shame to lose him in this way. A very consistent performer, good pace and chipped in with a few goals too. Hope he gets a good reception later.

I've been to a few pre season and a couple of home games so far. Contemplating fleetwood but more realistic Exeter! My thoughts: Duff was the x factor the turned L2 players into competent L1 players most of the time. We all knew that...we all knew he would move 'up'. That has now become reality. We...

Thought the boos from our own fans at full time were a disgrace. Agreed re the booing. A section of fans are so fickle. I recall a game near the end of last season where there was a lot of booing mid-game. Think it was Wimbledon. We played terribly, but for me that is when Duff realised he needed t...

Yes Wade has all the credentials. He's intelligent, speaks really well, captained all the clubs he played for, has strong connections with our two biggest club legends (Cotterill & Duff) and he's played a big part in the success of our past two seasons. Loosing Duff was always going to be a mas...
