Yeah I reckon a draw might be on the cards. A little bit of overconfidence perhaps following the Wycombe result and the 7-0, plus no Jevani. Even if we get someone in I doubt they'd start so soon. MJ up front probably?

Could see a 0-0 or even 0-1, possibly in the manner of those results last season where we have 20 shots and no goals.

15 minutes in. 71% possession. 3 shots on target. This has 0-0 written all over it.

Another Finn Azaz goal. The lad is a class act

 

[LeonTheGreen]

Good to see a reaction from Tuesday. 0-2

 

[Chris FGR]

We’re giving Plymouth too much space. Azaz looks quality but we can’t keep going 2-0 down at home to these type of teams and expect to get anything.

 

[stevowanderer]

Just as santos was having a really good game he’s played the most ridiculous back pass ever and we’ve conceded from it . We haven’t even looked like conceding up to that point. Ffs.

 

[stevowanderer]

Unbelievable. We were so comfortable. One mistake and it’s 2-0. Shell shocked. Especially after Bradley missed that 1 on 1 just before the mistake

 

[kieran_vale]

Not too bad a game this. If we had another forward alongside Harrison might even be leading.

Both teams done alright overall I think. Not sure if this pace can be maintained all the way.

Hard watch we knock it about well but have nothing up front. Should be leading though with that chance off the line. These look dangerous on the break.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Utterly dominant, but no killer blow. I think we are missing Jevani here.

 

[ExeterDan]

Half-time.
65% possession.
8 shots.
7 corners.

Everything but the goal.

Great band.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Have to get kids off to sleep before I can watch here local time, looks like I should have agreed to that extra story instead.

Was a poor half in terms of quality but that brain fart by Santos followed by a very well worked 2nd whilst you were shell shocked has left us in a comfortable position but this is Wednesday so we will fuck it up.

Can’t see us getting back into it now. It’s just one of those games but no way we can compete with the top teams of this division over 46 games with mistakes like that.

 

[TractorBoys]

Looked like a stonewall penalty in the opening minutes - although iFollow camera not the best so will watch that back later. Referee has been pretty poor by all accounts.

As for us, a little disjointed, but look dangerous every time we come forward. 1-0 at half time, good enough. John Jules came in for Ladapo up top and scored a great goal and looks too good for this league - keeping him fit & injury free will be the challenge.

Wes Burns still not ready, but if, and it's a big if, we can get 2 wins from Burton and Shrewsbury without him that can only bode well for the season.

 

[CTFCfan99]

Getting battered 0-0. Not watching but sounds like we're an absolute shambles and it's only a matter of time.

 

[Stripes]

Not able to adapt to the pace of the game. Too defensive. Need to chance adding forwards. Their defence still looks vulnerable. But at two down it's a big ask.

 

[kieran_vale]

Our first goal from open play this season. Great finish from Garrity. We should have been given a penalty just before.

Should have been all over, huge miss by Windass

 

[Chris FGR]

Moore-Taylor going off injured is the worst part of the day so far. Absolutely crucial player for us holds everything together.

0-3 down now and we’re all over the place.

 

[CTFCfan99]

As if we're winning haha

 

[LeonTheGreen]

Brilliant reaction to Tuesday night. 0-3.

 

[ExeterDan]

I said hundreds of chances and a 0-0 or 0-1. All a bit predictable.

 

[stevowanderer]

Should have been all over, huge miss by Windass

We’ve just not recovered at all from that mistake. It’s like it has completely drained us. We aren’t running like we normally do and we have no confidence in our passing at all. It’s just timid. Really has knocked us for 6. This is the worst I’ve seen us in some time

 

[kieran_vale]

Ellis Harrison you fucking dancer!! What a great finish. Can’t wait to see when he has a strike partner with him.

 

[Gassy]

Honestly what have Pompey paid this referee? I haven’t seen such 2 bad decisions in ever.

Pompey penalty is never a pen, blokes dived like he’s acting in swan lake. Referee doesn’t even give the pen and then after seeing him role around decides, yeah why not.

Then 3 mins later an absolute stonewall penalty 1:1 with keeper taken out from behind no foul. Genuinely can’t believe it.

Nevermind the elbow to our GKs face which was a foul but not even a card. Christ

 

[valefan16]

Massive win. Fully deserved and much better second half performance.

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

As expected, completely blown away and outclassed by Peterborough. The less said the better. The management and team will hopefully learn a lot from it!

On a positive, put money on a Cheltenham win at half time when i saw Exeter had had much the better of the opening half!

 

[thewwfc]

well fair to say I absolutely did not see that coming, not only a 3-0 tonking but 3 cracking goals to boot. And there was me saying before the game that I hoped we went negative and just parked the bus and hit them on the break.

To be fair Barnsley were the better side for much of the first half, but we scored against the run of play and things went well from there. Our new debutant keeper looks like a decent signing on the initial showing, and we were a lot more solid defensively today.

Only one win, after a poor run of results, but feels great to stop the rot.

 

[TractorBoys]

3-0 and oh so comfortable. John-Jules has probably played himself into first choice based on today.

If we can beat Barnsley on Saturday then that really throws down the gauntlet to other sides with several games following which are, seemingly, on paper, all favourable before Wednesday mid Sep.

Averaging 2 goals per game and conceded just 2 in 5.
