Exeter looked like a pub team full of meat heads trying to kick lumps out of us on a Sunday morning.

Obviously not that bad every week as they are up there. Couldn’t believe how bad they were but as bad a they were we were excellent. We have to follow it up at home to Grimsby on Tuesday now who seem to be in free fall.

This is why football is incredible. I genuinely believe Exeter are the best side we've played this season by a country mile. But they just can't seem to kill games off like we can.

Watching some of the highlights and I came across this gem.

Skip to 0:46 for the most hilarious dive you are ever likely to see. I'm not sure what's worse, that or the fact the ref actual gives it.

They couldn’t make a 5 yard pass, let alone kill a game off. Swindon are the best team I’ve seen by a mile in terms of a proper footballing team but they lacked physical presence. Exeter were the complete opposite of that but still up there. You need The right mix of both and Crewe have it. My tip for the surprise team of the season.

Funnily enough I thought Swindon were the worst side I've seen this season. Defensively abject, fullbacks were terrible and they looked so unfit in the second half. We absolutely dominated and outplayed them whereas Exeter outplayed us until they tired halfway through the second half. It's a funny old game.

 

[E10rifle]

Swindon are the best side we’ve played this season. Absolutely demolished us.

You’d be saying that about us if it wasn’t for those four lucky goals you scored.

Yeah it’s a strange league this one, we go and beat Exeter away comfortably then follow that up by 3 straight defeats, two to teams completely out of form and then a 4-0 thumping at home to Orient. Crazy league that’s completely there for the taking by any team that hits a bit of consistency.

 

[Luke Imp]

Might be dreaming this, but Exeter seem to randomly turn in a stinker and get done 3 or 4 from time to time under Taylor?

 

[GTFCfish]

Can’t see our game tomorrow v Cheltenham going ahead:

 

[neilcork68]

Away to Colchester tomorrow...Given our decent start ( results wise , not perfomance) I cant see anything other than a 2-0 loss for Newport

 

[Agombar stool]

Crawley away. I reckon it'll be a good game that will finish 1-1

 

[AdamStag]

Weather for Birmingham looks appalling - heavy rain from now until the game.

Going on the train so hopefully it’ll be called off and can have a pub day in Birmingham, Birmingham’s very meh but well it’s better than watching us.

Any news on a pitch inspection at all?

 

[The_Boss]

Pitch Inspection at the Moss at 9am tomorrow. Highly likely to be called off I would say. Absolutely tanked it down all day and not due to stop until saturday tea time at the earliest.

 

[TrinidadsNumberOne]

Absolutely pissed it down two years ago vs FGR and the game went ahead. But if the rain is this heavy and persistent I can't see it going ahead. Thinking of a last minute jaunt from Nottingham as I'm working there early tomorrow morning so I hope they call it off by 12!

 

[valefan16]

Flooding on a lot of areas near Vale and the A500 so imagine ours won’t go ahead, clay based pitch too so not very pourous!

 

[GTFCfish]

Haven’t heard anything but as you guys have a long way to travel I reckon there’ll be an early one and it will be called off.

 

[BlackHaddock]

During the summer we lowered our floodlights and flattened the pitch. Neither will help with drainage!

 

[Dan_Macclad]

No wages for the players next week if today is off... But it's not stopped smashing it down all night so the pitch will be fucked.

 

[Semi-skimmed Silk]

Game off for us, unsurprisingly.

 

[GTFCfish]

Not even raining here yet so should be ok.

Only takes 10 minutes of Grimsby monsoon to change that.

Just opened the front door and it is actually raining too, from our bedroom it didn’t sound like it was.
To quote Peter Kay, it’s that fine ️ rain.

 

[GTFCfish]

Giving ours a miss today even if it makes it, been in Watford for last 2 days and got back quite late last night and the drive was knackering with 40 and 50 limits for virtually all of the M1 and the bits that weren’t were so congested we were only managing those speeds anyway.
And it’s cold.
And it’s wet.
And we’re shit.

All these years watching football in Cleethorpes and you're not used to that yet?

 

[GTFCfish]

Haha yeah it’s more because of how much I’m aching after the drive home, took us over five hours and because of the constant slow speeds my right leg and knee are still killing me so I’m just gonna crash today and do pretty much fuck all.

 

[GTFCfish]

Pitch inspection 11:30.
