No we’re being pushed back by a decent side who were in the Prem last year, who have scored a fabulous goal from a guy who has been in England squads

Has Marina got a nice big bird feeder then?

True, he’s very decent on the defending bit of being a defender, if that makes sense!

Reminds me a little of early Jamie Mackie when he broke through down here at Exeter; quite raw but sharp. But difference is he’s starting 1/2 levels higher and is already a better finisher. Given JM got much better the longer he played I’d be surprised if Bell goes any lower than where he is now.

To play devil’s advocate did Tanner handle the press well when he was caught in possession for the equaliser?

Agree with this. Good to have a more physical presence than TC in games where he may be struggling to hold the ball up / get in the game.

It wouldn’t half be a shame if having cut out the errors and become a very reliable defender, over confidence brings them back. As that was what seemed to happen today. Hopefully just a bad at the office.

Exeter for me. 10 minute walk home

It’ll be the same person who started referring to ‘the football club’ rather than just ‘the club’.

City, Glos City, Exeter and the rest of Devon Senior 1.

If there was media attention and attendances hadn’t grown in recent times then maybe there wasn’t interest to start with. But the increased Media focus and attention on Women’s football and subsequent rise in attendances suggest there always was.

I’m in the middle on this

Ah go on then

It’s the old cliche about your reputation going up when you’re not there. That said, soon I hope!

Not sure I’d agree he played Weimann as he was skipper

Sounds familiar

From the Post: “For example, we went to Nige with Dickie, and this player, and that player - Rob Dickie was the best. We went with Jason Knight for a pressing midfield player; ‘this is one that really fits, Nige’ - ‘yeah, like him, perfect’. Really not sure how that is claiming credit’? You’ve just said Sykes informed the club so that could still fit with what BT said above?

If (and appreciate that is the longest word in the English language) Nige had stayed and the injuries cleared up, could top 6 have been possible? A lot of people thought so only maybe a month ago? If so why not now?

There is No budget / would you like a player as you have an injury - Genuinely doesn’t sound like anymore than a marginally different interpretation of the same conversation tbh

Cotts was underwhelming yes but Johnson Sr? He had an excellent record at Yeovil and I for one thought he was a good choice. Regardless I’m sure we’ll all be behind Liam.

I guess the really interesting thing for me is where it says welcome to Ashton Gate Benny. Reminds me that we got rid of a popular manager prematurely….. Biggest problem we had that season was the previous season - when big Shaun got injured

Regardless it depends on what you deem exciting. Personally (and regardless of NP) I’m more excited by this than a ‘glamorous’ Lampard type appointment.

Suspect they had a ‘losing play off final having been close to automatic promotion as well’ hangover. Seems quite a regular occurrence for teams (Boro at the start of this season)?

A bit Putin-y but an imaginative solution
