League 2 General Chat Thread

In fairness, all the top sides have games they “should win”.

Exeter Colchester and Lincoln especially

Though of course someone will slip up

 

[DippyDon]

We don’t get this much police for AFC home games, quite funny how many are about in Northampton today.

Rhead and Akinde up front together for us today. Looks like we will mainly be hoofing it. I'm fashioning a neck brace out of my scarf in preparation.

 

[Wooderson]

So Mayor back for Bury who look very strong, no Hemmings for us - this could get ugly!

You hoof it every week... Most Direct side in the league

Should be some quality football on show today. Concerned with the lack of pace through the middle of the team and lack of attacking quality on the bench.

Decent hit:
(for those eagle eyed of you yes I did accidentally post this in the transfer rumours thread first )

[pontoonlew]

We’re winning, again!

 

[TimeyWimey]

Why’s it taken us till after Christmas to work out how to attack with any purpose?

Why will we forget how to attack with any purpose by January?

 

[The Jovial Forester]

See Cambridge have taken a lead.

 

[denzel ecfc]

I feel like walking out. No point with these ridiculous officials in charge.

 

[Buxton Vale]

dominated the first 30, one mistake and we are behind again

Aspin out

 

[Buxton Vale]

back to 1-1

Aspin out

 

[TimeyWimey]

Genuinely think we’re a goalscorer away from being a team able to challenge for 13th.

 

[wangle]

Hmm, we're losing again. Not entirely sure how we're going to turn this round. Too many players not on form and too many not 100%. We desperately need the transfer window to improve the squad.

 

[GTFCfish]

Sounds like like we’re completely under the cosh, despite leading i’d snap your hand off for a draw still as I expect a second half Exeter onslaught.

 

[T.A]

Notts County win incoming...

 

[valefan16]

back to 1-1

Aspin out

Had a bit of Boxing Day about it. Oldham look really poor but we’ve made a big error and they take the lead, luckily we’ve got back level quickly but the goal seems to have given Oldham some belief.

What I will say though, their defence looks really poor today, Whitfield has got behind a couple of times if we can pray on that lack of pace at the back for them we can win this.

Big second half coming up for Aspin.

The offside decision? Or have there been other incidents? Hasn't come across on our commentary but I've only been half listening. Sounds like you're battering us though, I hate listening when it's backs to the wall time.

The offside decision first. There was no flag but it was overturned as your goalie ran 50 yards to bellow at the lino. There was a handball in the box too and your no. 15 has taken to assaulting our left back.
We just need to moan at a few more decisions and these weak officials might give us a break.

Yeah it sounded like a weird way to overturn the decision, but it sounded like the correct one at least. Will have to wait for the highlights. Gonna do my best Wenger voice now and admit that I didn't hear the handball incident. Apologies if they were both incorrect decisions. Glad Clifton is getting stuck in though. If Moxey can't handle a 20 year old on his case, then I might have to revise my opinion of him being one of the better full backs in the division.

 

[PaulHaddock]

Unless I don’t know the rules, it was offside.

8 shots on target for Exeter in the first half definitely suggests it’s the officials fault that they’re not winning.

Sorry but you can't complain about this (eventually) being disallowed:

He's clearly come from off the pitch to tap it in. You're still offside if you're behind the byline.

Anyway the ref's just (rightly) sent our one remaining first-team centre half off, so there you go.

He wasn’t on the pitch when he scored ffs! The limo got it wrong and corrected it.

Anyway we’ve just had a defender sent off so you should be fine now.

 

[Son of Cod]

Oh yes so Whitmore sent off. 4 senior CBs at the club, 3 injured and now 1 suspended. 17 year old Matthew Pollock on alongside LB Andrew Fox in the middle of the defence. If Exeter don't win now it will be a Christmas miracle.

 

[Gladders]

Good job we have picked up points lately, we now have no recognised center backs left to play other than a youth team player who has just come on for his debut could be a tough few weeks coming up if we don't get anyone else in.

 

[GTFCfish]

If we get anything from this now it will be a miracle.

 

[Laker]

Lincoln are like Wycombe 2.0.

 

[pontoonlew]

Its an absolutely mental tackle from Whitmore what the fuck is he playing at.

Yeah just seen it so fucking stupid.
