Also in events hosted by the club that include the chairman, board members and the first team manager can they not do any better than having them sat behind a sad looking table, where's the marketing hoardings that display the club crest (that cover the whole table), various sponsors of the club, wh...

wouldn’t be surprised if DC leaves if he doesn’t see what he wants to happen regarding ‘growth’, these meetings he has sound like the deal breaker for him. I was quite shocked that Bloxham thinks CTFC can ‘just’ sell players each season to survive and was backed up by other members of the board as t...

Elliot Bonds is sooo slow and can Taylor spend more time actually trying to win a header rather than ducking out of headers to try and win a fee kick, which isn’t working.

Please could you elaborate...

total disarray on the pitch until the dying embers of the game then we put it together, too little too late.

there’s certainly a stench of ‘Elliot’s last days’ around the club at the moment.

in every aspect.

longmover

fair enough, DC has to take this one then, too much riding on a game to experiment and still wait until the 2nd to make any changes bearing in mind yiur one down.

longmover

why the big reaction to the ‘change’ at the start of the game then?

longmover

“keep it simple”

by changing to a new formation with a day on the training pitch prior to the game. Why not just use the same system that pushed Exeter in the 2nd half?

I also don’t understand why he continued a whole half when it was quite obvious it wasn’t working after ten minutes?

longmover

absolute shambles.

not a hint of concern about being relegated from anyone in a red shirt or coaching staff.

longmover

play a system that obviously isn’t working for a whole half.

longmover

take the hit of being 5hit yesterday as long as we’re on fire Tuesday. Tuesday’s got more riding in it.

At this level? And to the extent some on this board believe it? Pretty much every time we lose, it's "oh, this ref is bent". Conversely, when we win, the ref hardly gets a mention! This government is bent, our national utilities are bent, local councils are bent, big business is bent. To ...

interesting section on CTFC being generally screwed over by matchday officials (this season), the general consensus was that CTFC are pretty much on the receiving end of poor officiating and although there was 'no conspiracy theories' I don't think there was any explanation (from any guest) as to wh...

Loathe as I am to defend Brighton, of all the targets for obscene spending in the Premier League there are plenty more deserving of opprobrium than Bloom. That half a billion spend is over a near 20 year period and includes £100m spent on one of the best, most beautifully designed stadiums in the c...

longmover

Crazy to think we have 5 strikers and the top 3 in the pecking order are all out at the most important part of the season. However, sounds like Taylor and Lloyd could still play a part. Agree that we looked good 2nd half on Monday, but I imagine DC will keep faith with 5-3-2, at least to start game...

longmover

Don't discount Millwall or Plymouth either ( have the former ever been to Whaddon Road? ). The difference between L1 and L2 is really stark. Gateshead brought 14 fans down in our National League season. I remember counting them. Of the National League promotion contenders, only Chesterfield and Ald...

tbf we look decent in the 2nd against Exeter without him so hope we don't rush him back. Fully aware time isn't on our side though.

would love to see plymouth back in league one, their jumped up fanbase well and truly back in their box. They're lower league and deep down they know it.

Another 'suspicious' action from Martin was his run to the half way line after the third penalty shout for a "discussion" with the 4th official, thus allowing Exeter to completely reset before the corner and taking all our impetus out of our attack.

longmover

Seen the replay of the Exeter pen decision now and it seems to be one of those that was never a pen according to the original handball rule, i.e. it had to be deliberate. No way was it deliberate but it did seem to hit the hand and these days it is down to how ready the ref is to give it and of cou...

A the moment still think he's at his best (and do most damage) with the ball half way into the oppositions half, his shooting needs work but don't want him worrying about that at the moment. If only we had Street and Taylor fit!!!!

longmover

Exeter couldn't cope with him at all all they could do was bully kick and foul. He changed the game when he came on a delight to watch and really gets the home crowd going.

longmover

As mentioned (many times) before, yesterday was more evidence that large away followings only mean one thing (on the pitch).

longmover

Corruption level of officiating by Martin, for whatever reason he has decided to ref the game the way he has and it needs investigation. One thing that struck me was when Thomas went down (in the box) he was surrounded by five or six Exeter players who weren't to shy in their general aggression (pul...

so you think the new owner(s) are going to strip back spending and sort themselves with a few seasons in league one? or just spend just slightly less than the previous owners to get back into the champ asap :roll: The new owner is a known rugby fan and has apparently only really taken control to se...

Lloyd's harrying and pressing game is why he's caught the eye (not his goal scoring) and always thought he wouldn't be around too long with the way he's playing.
