very happy with a point....they're a bit ordinary this season and we're just a bit ordinary every season

Who thinks this group of players has the capacity to stay in the premier league if they were coached to play more possession football. Genuine question.

If Doucoure has to play regular minutes, we don’t have the capacity

Gana, although he has looked better in possession this season than usuall, is not at his best on the ball

We really don’t have many players who would do well in possession. Garner maybe? Mangala possibly? Even Ndiaye is someone who is direct.

I heard what they shouted.

 

[Tipp blue]

As i said, 90th min my stream went on/off.

Before that Mangala made those THREE terrible errors amongst others like ignoring 2 DCL runs 1st half.

You saying those things didnt happen???

I'd ignore a DCL run too... the man wouldn't finish his dinner.

Imagine if we had a decent front three...

Imagine if we had a decent front three...

Same tactics 2 or 3 new attackers and wed be a different proposition

 

[magicjuan]

We may not have this luck in the next 3 games…

Tbh I think we've been unlucky, their goal today could have gone anywhere, we had a shot hit one of their players ends up in a stand. Thought we got had off with decisions right across those games too.

This still sums up the cock-up of this move. Everton player top of the photo is offside, so out of the move. The two central are too close together; the other should have gone wider to stretch the two defenders. In that situation, the players should have spread quickly. Should have scored from that move...

 

[twoblue]

Not arguing what was the score again and who could have even won in the end.

So tactics were spot on.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

I agree, but if we can't get wins out of the established top teams, we need to get wins out of fixtures like these. We can't just beat up on Ipswich and Wolves and expect to stay in the league.

Correct

Rubbish lad, we got a draw in spite of Dyches tactics. Another Dychette we see has come out of hiding.

 

[Furey1878]

I am happy with the point, but I can't help but feel that if we had any sort of ruthlessness up top we win that game today.

 

[sdk]

Mangala's really shaping up to be a big asset. Thumbs up lad.
