[Si Robin]

Bradford at home and, from what I've seen on Twitter and here, they seem to think they'll win.

Given we could go top, and every other time we have a chance to we balls up, then I think we could come undone.

That and the fact that we're without Liam Sercombe, Chris Clements and Ellis Chapman.

Exeter fans, it’s supposed to be pissing it down all day tomorrow and Friday, I’m going to guess the game is in serious doubt?

Im hoping with all your millions in the bank that you may have covers?

No it will be fine......

Probably went to the world he lives in.

Original as ever i see manchild. Try coming up with an idea of your own.

In the same way that Paddy McGuinness equates level of volume with level of funny you equate level of childishness with level of funny.

Guess you are struggling to find a fishing spot now the pier is gone !!

Doth mine eyes deceive me? Is that a moderately well-crafted burn from masi?

 

[Pablosammy]

One of my favourite fixtures this - one of the first I’d look out for. Shame I can’t see it being on our fixture list next season!

We’ll get beat but should be an entertaining game.

Hopefully, on both counts

We're on a run where we're confident of beating anyone at the minute. For the first time in a long time, we've got a fairly solid defence and more importantly look like scoring in every game. I thought you were the best side we played last season so I'm expecting a real tough game tomorrow, although if you're first choice midfield is out that could be an advantage for us because Watt, Cooke and Sutton for us have been very good in that area lately.

Probably lifted from somewhere judging by his 'normal' replies.

Careful. Pretty much an open goal for his playground insults, there.

 

[saddler78]

We’ve Pope he is ideal and probably the best at this level at that... but he’s injured until April!

Guthrie is a big lad and played for Stevenage so should be ok as a hold up man.

Not sure on Swan, he looked a big lad when he came on at Tranmere, guess if you play Rodney of a big man that could work with his pace and finishing.

Our fate will be decided by our defending again I dare say, we score plenty of goals, one of the highest scorers in the league but since November have haemorrhaged goals with some ridiculous errors at the back. His main task will be sorting that problem. Sort that we will be fine this season. Easier said than done though.

Crazy to think after 10 games we had easily the best defence in the division statistically yet with the same players it’s now one of the worst!

Positive for tomorrow is looks as though Gibbo was fully training after missing Tranmere after his long term return against Southend the week before so hopefully no Mills and Gibbo starts as he is such a big player for us, like a Ferrari compared to a 90s Escort between the two!

He has really pissed our fanbase off again today with his comments would rather he just cracked on now so we can all move on.

Pitch inspection currently

 

[masi51]

tick tock..............no extension to the season

 

[pontoonlew]

Game off, awful weather forecast and Exeter didn’t even put the covers on that they have access to.

Shambles.

 

[Gladders]

Great news, two Saturdays in a row without losing, got to be happy with that!

 

[denzel ecfc]

Match off.
They are frost covers not rain covers
I think its the first home game we have postponed in three seasons.

 

[Grumpy Grecian]

No it will be fine......

Mind you, other options are available.

Backlog of games and one of those is a trip to Exeter, awful if you ask me

 

[denzel ecfc]

Loving all the Grimsby fans moaning on twitter. Yes we deliberately made it rain so that Bowman could be suspended against Walsall instead

 

[masi51]

This league is a complete and utter shambles
Clubs do as they wish and the EFL let them from De listing players and putting them on furlough to letting teams have pitch inspections 6 hours before a game with no rain forecast.....allowing teams to furlough groundstaff
Couple of injuries to key players no problem gaffer we wont put the covers on and we will wait until the opposition have been on the road about 4 hours and we will call the game off.

You do have injuries as well tbf, as ridiculous as it is to suggest you’re scared of us, it is absolutely poor form to have not covered the pitch at all.

 

[Gladders]

It was tongue in cheek

Besides I couldn't care less, season is awful, the less football I have to sit and watch the better!

Whatever mate, we have been doing ok without those three injuries and it's not going to get any better playing twice a week for the rest of the season.

You made the mistake of reading posts from idiots

When would you like pitch inspections to take place?

 

[denzel ecfc]

Next available date for the Grimsby game is 27th April! Any more postponements and we could be playing Thursdays.

well our original game against mansfield was called off 6 hours before kick off time with no more rain forecast....the pitch was playable kick off time

Teams in this league have not got a pot to piss in........Exeter v Grimsby should have been called off first thing this morning

Some teams with less travel, pitch inspections can be 10mins before the start as far as i am concerned. No fans have travelled ie your game today

Even watching us get smashed every week has been a welcome distraction from the other option of staring at the ceiling in between a home workout and another bloody walk.
