Recommended Posts

Right... I'll stick my head above the water again. 

So.... As per.... 

Officials for the game...

REFEREE: DECLAN BOURNE
Daniel Woodward and Gary Hilton
Fourth Official : Andy Haines

Our man in the middle this weekend has officiated 26 games... Shown 99 yellow cards and nine red cards. (Four of them were in consecutive games he officiated, three of those games were in League 1)

Last time he reffed us? - Well, it looks like he never has done! But get ready if his performance recently in Walsall's game is anything to go by!

Head to head record v Exeter

Wednesday wins 4

Exeter wins 7

Draws 2

Last time out at S6 v Exeter - 24th Sept 2011. 

Our team: Bywater, Buxton, Batth, Jones, Johnson,R, Semedo, Lines, Marshall, Madine, O'Connor, McGoldrick, 

Subs: O'Donnell, Bennett, Palmer, O'Grady, Lowe

 

Finally... For now...Some words ahead of the game from them...

Exeter are trying to heap the pressure on us.. As per Pierce Sweeney....

“It’s going to be one hell of an atmosphere on Saturday, it’s going to be bouncing up there and the pressure is all on them. They need the points more than we do.

“They’re going to have about 29,000 home fans there and we’re going to take 1,000 so it’s going to be a good game, hopefully a good atmosphere." (I think he's got that wrong)

Surprised we’ve not done more to be honest, everyone gambling on us doing the job and buying Derby tickets which is almost sold out 

These bandwagon jumpers have more faith than I do.. think it’ll be over by the time the sheepshaggers visit, just hope we end their play off hopes, but most likely they’ll get a late winner to secure 6th spot

💬 "I can't speak highly enough of our fans over the two seasons. 

"Our away form has really improved and at home they've been brilliant at getting behind the team.

Also known as DM blowing smoke up our arses after him and the team fooking up a monumental opportunity.   Think atmosphere will be crap unless we get news of Ipswich or Plymouth losing by 2.

Of course it could all be effectively sorted tomorrow but I don’t think it will. The crunch in my view is their mid week games and away at Shrewsbury.

I could see us resting some players v Derby if we know we are in the playoffs but it also could be a dress rehearsal for the actual playoffs. So I’d rather we either a) beat them so they don’t get in the playoffs or if they somehow are in the 6th spot win so we have the mental upper hand.

Turgid stuff.

Bannan has rightly been dishing out bollockings to all three center halves by simply not carrying the ball into the space available in midfield. The amount of times that both Flint and Brown could have carried the ball twenty yards without pressure and haven’t is terrifying.

Paterson, Gregory and Smith have been woeful.

We HAVE to go to a 4 because they are not playing an outright striker and at times we have three center halves with nothing to mark.

Bannan is being man marked, so we need an extra body in midfield to create more control in the game.

Our better approach this season is to grasp control of the midfield and build attacks from 40 yards out, get the wing backs in to it. 

Today's approach I don't have a frigging clue
