URZZZZHound Thought the game was fairly entertaining. Exeter had some good ideas and played quite well first half but they made so many unforced errors it was unreal. One of those days when you really feel the difference in quality to the champ
Thought their left hand side - Jules (goal aside) and the number 5 were particularly poor. Azeez had them on toast
Reminded me a bit of the Barnsley game, thought we were the better side generally; had lots of good positions but couldn’t convert some crosses and Knibbs and Wing’ shooting was horrific in good positions
Still massive so , another great goal from Femi. Performance average at best but 8 from 4 is excellent
Agree with most of that. Thought Mukairu looked good off the bench, couple of really neat reverse passes/switches of play. No one really seems to be cementing that place out on the left, it’s a shame Ballard got injured as he looked quite sharp in his few appearances out there
Defence is still a big concern. Majorly reactive rather than proactive. Three or four times they ran off Mola/Dorsett in behind and they didn’t react in time. It’s the same with Abbey in that respect but more often or not, he is able to use his speed to bail himself out. We also don’t close their wide players down anywhere near enough, it’s alarming how often we concede from our flanks

YorkshireRoyal99 Just caught my attention that Wing has 8 assists to his name in 24 games this season. From his position, a good record to have.

Midfielders assist goals. It is hardly a shock that he has 8 assists is it?

I didn't say it was a shock, I said it was a good record to have and I didn't think he would have had the most for us this season if I didn't look prior.

He had a slow start to the season but has grown in to it. I think everyone thought Savage would be the standout midfield performer this season but Wing has taken the lead and is arguably first name on the team sheet. Didn't see it coming tbh, I wasn't entirely sure what his purpose was in the first few weeks of the season.

TiagoIlori We’ve got heaps of big games coming up, but also a real chance to pull away from the drop zone.
I think it’s too early to say a corner has been turned personally. The same problems still remain. It is at least looking better though, and the players have given themselves a real chance to stay up. I hope it’s not undone by administration.

I'd say it has. one defeat in 9 games is 20% of the season, that's a long consistent run.

Hound Next target is to get up with that little group above us - Burton, Wycombe, Cambridge up to Shrewsbury
All limited teams - think if we can get into that group we’ll start pulling clear quite quickly
As always imo it’s about keeping Knibbs, Smith, Wing and Azeez fit. Everyone else replaceable easily enough

Think it helps that Burton play Wycombe on Saturday (and Exeter playing Carlisle helps too) - we then follow up with games against Vale and Wigan who are both in the cluster above us.
It really is quite mad that on the 11th November we were 10 points adrift of safety but we are now 9pts away from Lincoln who are 11th and 11 points off the top 10.
Am not saying we'll get anywhere near than over the next 21 games but the fact that is even possible, shows what a turnaround there is.

With only one clean sheet and 13 goals conceded. We’ve had to score 17 just to draw which is the equivalent 87 goals over a full league season.
In addition, we’ve won 4 in 9, to put that into perspective, remember we went on a run where we won 6 in 9 games last season. We were absolutely dreadful outside of it which is why 9 games isn’t enough. Keep this up for another 6/7 games then I may start agreeing that a corner has been turned.
