MATCHWATCH : Exeter City (h)

[Snowflake Royal]

Kicking off at the whistle.

Stop Wing and Knibbs, stop Reading.

[Bristol Paul]

Absolute dog shit of a performance. Deserved to lose.

[Bristol Paul]

Garcia should have come off instead of Rusheda he's panicked all night

Starting to lose patience with Garcia continually misses headers, caught out of position

He was awful.

[morganb]

Kicking off at the whistle.

Due to the 2 falls, 2 submissions or a knockout on Bindon in the area just before the final whistle

[Greatwesternline]

Part of the reason why attendances are dire even though we are in a play off battle is that the football on show is diabolical.

[Gunny Fishcake]

That was awful, Exeter could have won 5-0 the chances they had , our defending at times was unbelievably bad , in the end a good point.

[Orion1871]

Atrocious. First 10-15 minutes Exeter looked as poor as we've seen all season. They weathered the storm and in the end we were lucky to escape with a point.

Garcia can't even complete a 10 yard pass out wide, constantly played the ball out of play. Wrexham are going to absolutely tear him apart next Tuesday.

[Hound]

I thought Garcia was ok tbh, misplaced passes aside he offered a threat and generally defended ok. Some nice runs inside

Shite performance all round generally though. We can be utterly abysmal at times and it seems to be every time I go to watch atm

Devoid of any ideas and god only knows how Exeter managed to be so inept in front of goal.

Painful viewing and lucky to get a point

[windermereROYAL]

What is about us and shit evening performances? just the small matter of Wrexham next Tuesday.

[Armadillo Roadkill]

First thirty minutes we were really good, then we lost all shape and direction. It just fell apart as passes got sloppy and any sense of momentum was lost.

Camara and Garcia both looked brilliant one minute, then committed appalling errors the next.

Savage was excellent. Knibbs and Wing were cancelled out by their midfield. I thought Wareham did as well as anyone could with no service.

Exeter did a thorough job. It wan't pretty, but then survival never is. Another team struggling at the bottom of the table that really need someone who can finish clinically.

Shame they edged over the line from cynically competitive to the outright violence at the end. The referee would have got a good review from me, but he and his officials lost control and allowed Bindon to be attacked repeatedly off the ball.

It will be ups and downs for the rest of the season with young players, injuries and opponents fighting - with means both legal and not - for their League 1 status.

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Not getting the Garcia hate tonight. He wasn't too bad, certainly been a lot worse.

Usual story of teams figuring us out at HT and us not having an answer to it. Not helped by the subs which seemed to just make us even worse.

Camara was fukking useless, how on earth did he stay on and Boden (our only real threat/outlet) came off?

Knibbs was so anonymous that I honestly thought he'd been subbed on about the 70min mark.

[Fox Talbot]

It was a stinker. Looked like we were taking the win for granted after an easy first 15 and then we just lost any grip and bloody lucky survive for a nil nil.

Agree Camara and Yiadom were pants, excuse the latter on his comeback. Ehib the only goal threat. Another team did a job on Wing. Garcia erratic but overall better than he has been. Atmosphere nil, not even a sell the club etc etc on 18 mins.

[windermereROYAL]

Noel said we deserved to win, wonder if he`s been drinking.

[Royal_jimmy]

Blame Noel he picks him

[JR]

Not sure how we kept a clean sheet in the middle of that second half - was quite exciting in its own way.

Started pretty well, and Savage and Wareham looked great, but all faded as Exeter worked us out.

On the plus side, it’s a good trait to scrape a draw when we’re second best and if we keep averaging 4 points from 2 we will make the play-offs.

[Royal_jimmy]

What does Camara actually offer this team? Why did Boden who was having a solid game and played well on Saturday get subbed? Why bench Tom Carroll if he isn't going to come on?

Garcia can't play Saturday/Tuesday and he continues to start. This result is definitely on Noel.

2 points dropped and lucky it wasn't 3 points.

We won't make the playoffs because of games like today.

[Stranded]

That will go down as one of those "How the hell did we keep a clean sheet" games.

2nd half it felt like there was a collective plan to see just how big a chance Exeter could miss.

They will be wondering how the hell they haven't taken a morale boosting 3-0 away win home with them after that.

Almost expected Wing's shot in injury time to cannon in off the post, that was the kind of evening it was for Exeter.

[JedMaxwell]

Bad game. Exeter were very poor but did the ugly stuff well and we weren't canny enough to work out a way around it. Would still be 0-0 if they were still playing now.

Ultimately, we'll take the point and move on.

[blythspartan]

That’s the sort of performance we’re always capable of producing and we did it plenty of times under Selles. I didn’t think Garcia was awful and Savage had another good game. The team looks tired and that’s hardly surprising.

The crowd was poor, but lots of my friends/family won’t go until Dai oxf*rd off. I can’t get too hung up on results/performances until we get new owners.

This. Our tiny squad will produce performances like that in busy schedules, and low crowds will only add to the malaise on nights like yesterday.

The team and manager are performing admirably overall, but real progress needs the takeover. I think we can get more consistency out of this team next season if we're in a position to recruit in the summer.
