Exeter City vs Leyton Orient

[The Terminator]

Ah St. James Park Exeter, I have not missed you - Because we always lose and play shit there, now Exeter are top of the league and we're looking at adding to the bucket full of goals and thrasings we've regularly been dealt down there.

At least there are two new stands to look forward to, I actually really didn't like Exeters old away end - The view was really bad, so at least thats been fixed. Quite enjoy Exeter as a city and the Imperial pub.

Last week Ross went defensive and we was 3-0 down at half time, may as well go with our trusted 4-3-3 and least have a go if we're going to lose. With the ball we can cause teams problems, but without it we are a shambles and have defensive structure at all.

4-0 Exeter.

Nobody liked our old away end!
There wasn't anything likeable about it.... the new set up is much improved. Hope you enjoy it more this time around. Few pints in the imperial if the weather's nice makes a perfect day out.

Looking forward to this one. Can we keep our momentum?. All games can be tough in the basement but we've got to be fancied. Ajose is injured, but he hasn't found any real form to date thus far, so shouldn't really make much difference. Should be a fair crowd (by our standards) too. Gonna predict a 3-0 win and stay top !

Won manager of the month so we're cursed. 3-0 loss

Could’ve easily been the end of our unbeaten start against ‘Orrible Orient today. We probably would’ve lost that sort of game last season.

Thought Orient were looking good when they went ahead. Fortunately they then deciding to stop playing and go into full spoiling mode. It felt like it was inevitable that we would get at least one but as Tavyred said, last season we lost games like that.
Sweeney had a good game and nice to see Ben Seymour given a chance

 

[The Terminator]

A valiant effort from ourselves against another good side, rode our luck for two long periods in both halfs at times but overall we held our own alot better than last week, with George Marsh and Dale Gorman adding some much needed youth and energy to our midfield.

As good as Exeter are, they got a bit lazy and allowed us to get two goals. As I keep saying, with the ball we aren't a bad side that will cause teams problems, but without it we're rash and at times unorganised - Although today we looked better.

Annoying that a clumsy Josh Coulson challenge allowed Exeter to get a deserved draw, I'd have taken that before the game.

Exeter will be there or thereabouts, not as good a footballing side as Plymouth and Swindon - the best two sides I've seen but well drilled with some very talented youngsters.

Decent game that. We severely need to start putting away more of the chances we create, or we will be punished, which could have happened easily in this game. Great to see Seymour given game time, hopefully another big player off the youth production line. Orient in patches were pretty decent and I imagine they will improve as the season goes on. Niggly fouls and time wasting when ahead is dull, but seems to be part of football these days, so it would be unkind to point the finger at Orient for that. Still top and feeling optimistic we will do it this season. Onto Vale, who seem to pull a few results out of the bag of late. I hear they picked up injuries against that lot down the road, so being selfish hoping that bodes well for us

And forgot to say, that ref needs to up his game or try Sunday league pub level instead. He was out of his depth

He was very, very inconsistent and at times very baffeling, we had him last season in our FA Trophy semi final away at Telford and he was very, very weak that day. Amazed he's been allowed to step up.

We have done, three players lost in the first half to injury. On the flip side I suspect Manny Oyeleke will be back for this one which will be a big help. I think this will be a very hard game for us to get any sort of result but I think we can be competitive at least.

To be fair Amoo is the only real miss and Browne came in and looked as good on his debut appearance so suspect it will be more how knackered they are working for it. Would freshen up a couple of faces.
