Only one home win in the last 8 games. Time to give the home fans something to cheer (please). Saints at home and the circus also in the area and performing at 2.30 so traffic and parking could be challenging.

This is a big test to see how far we have progressed since Colchester at home and Cambridge away .
We have tightened up , stopped playing the youth team and are playing percentage football , but will it be good enough at home against a decent side ?
I think KC will simply be looking not to concede .

Gusts of up to 40 mph are forecast for Saturday, hopefully it will disrupt Exeter’s passing style more than it does us.

Do you not go further than Cambridge away? Think the Cobbs have won at Tranmere, Stevenage and Crewe as well as a draw at table topping Lincoln since the games you've oddly mentioned!

Yes , of course it’s been a great turnaround away from home but are we able play with more attacking intent at home ?
This is what i mean by a test .

This post may come back to haunt me at 5pm on Saturday  ;D

I wholeheartedly believe that the last home game, the infamous 0-0 draw with Crawley, was more a 'must not lose game' than a 'must win game'. I think both managers felt the same, neither at any time risking the point they had banked for 2 more. We were in a precarious position, a bad run of form would have meant we could have slid down the table and become embroidered in a relegation battle. Admittedly, there was only say a 10% chance of that happening but with only a 0.01% chance of the playoffs at that point in time, KC took the point against a team just below us and was happy to do so. I 'get that' and foresaw the approach at the time.

We are now in a situation where we are playing under zero pressure. In terms of the result. However. A point is pretty much a pointless outcome for us. Its 3 or none at all. 9 wins and 2 losses (to get to the play offs) is more likely than 8 wins and 3 draws. Statistically. Either outcome would net us 72 points and based on projected points total, would see us 6th,7th,8th. So right on the edge. Thats surely now got to be the target for Keith and his boys. However unrealistic it is, Id fully expect our focus now to be on aiming at the playoffs whilst its still possible. Just not talking about them!  ;)

Id expect a cautious approach on Saturday to start off with, and then for the game to open up later on. Exeter (I reckon) will happily sit back and wait for us to commit players forward, aiming to do us on the counter attack like so many other teams have managed over the course of this season. Exploit our weakness. On the flip side, Id expect us to set up to negate this so for a time on Saturday, expect a bit of a stale mate. Gung ho at the end if one team needs to...

We do not have the players to set up expansively, especially at home. Our only 'creative attacking players' are Powell and Bowdith, both whom are woefully inconsistent. On loan, early impressions on Joe Powell and Timi both have the same problem. Crookes and KVV were both hugely inconsistent as well. We are well stocked up with solid midfield 'types', our collective strength is an Ian Atkins type line up/approach. Thats what dragged out results in recent times, and what dragged out results during KC's honeymoon spell. When we've tried to pass our way through, be pleasing on the eye etc...its backfired. We do not have the players to do that.

Sorry for the long post, but at the moment we can only judge KC on results and not style of play/entertainment. That has to wait until next season.

Good post Drilling. Spot on about Atkins as well, lets face it Curle took over in a  similar situation to Atkins. The brief for both of them must have been to keep us up.

Looks like I'm going to miss this one at the last minute due to having a poorly little one to take care of, which should mean we're due for a thrilling, high scoring, barnstorming victory this afternoon.

Deservedly in front but should be by more. Exeter offering very little but we were lucky to survive two point blank chances in about five seconds.

Hopefully we play the wind better than they did, shame Sordell had to go off as he had held up and linked the play well. Will need Willo’s work rate in the second half though.

Foley, Pierre and Powell the standouts for me.

Agreed Goode is looking very solid indeed.
Their goal was another Ash Taylor mistake, although apart from that he played OK.
Exeter were v poor, no way are they going anywhere, took off their best player Nicky Law and faded badly.

Post by: Irchy cob on March 09, 2019, 20:16:17 pm
A thoroughly professional and committed performance - every player played their part and we made a playoff chasing side look poor. On a side note it just shows, as we found when we lost Holmes, how damaging it can be at this level when your best player gets poached - without Stockley they are a shadow of the team they were.

You did well to spot that - were you in the away end?

Defence again played well as a unit with JJOT showing distinct flashes of his former self. Surprised that only 4500+ home fans turned up especially after the last 2/3 away games! Still it was cold and an early KO.
Its a pity that we could not add to the 2 we scored; never felt we were in any real danger even in the last ten minutes. Some strange Referee decisions notwithstanding missing their goal keeper fracas! Midfield looked solid if a little unspectacular at times. Turnbull when he pressed forward looked good. Don't disagree with Taylor being MOM - thought he played well. As for the forwards for me still undecided on Soufle but Andy Williams added some need urgency up front and took his goal well. Simple 3 points really; they played some good stuff where it did not matter but in any case they did not have the forwards to do much damage!
Score line should have been at least 3-1 so they got away with it.

Decent committed performance, just what you need to win games in League Two, in the Ian Atkins style. Great pressing causing them to make mistakes. In reality though the score could have gone either way with Cornell making at least one top save and the scramble in the first half. We also had chances but I don't think their keeper had many saves to make. We've found the knack of being strong in both boxes at the moment when it matters. That sort of game is what I expect to see from us and enjoy seeing. We're still limited in certain areas but currently makingt He most of what we do have. Well done KC and all.

The most pleasing thing is we seem to have gone back to basics. No messing around with strikers playing in full-back positions, or putting square pegs in round holes. The manager is now playing players in their proper positions and we're reaping the rewards.

This is the first decent run of form that hasn't been a 'new manager bounce' in nearly three years. I admit I was very worried after that Colchester game, but since then the team has looked organised and physical, and at times quite creative as well.

The last two games against Crewe and Exeter we've absolutely bossed the midfield, and I think we've identified a really strong combination now in O'Toole, Foley and Turnbull. The latter two for me should be battling it out for Player of the Season, and JJOT is getting back to his best form.

I think the Play-Offs, while not impossible, is probably going to be too much of an ask. But we're no longer looking over our shoulders and hopefully we can build up some momentum that we can take into next season.

The biggest factor has been going from 3 at the back  to 4 at the back

The question is at what point will KFC blink and revent to type.

As for the play offs.... We just need to keep getting a point closer each game werk and time our run to perfection.

Post by: Joes Sweet Left Foot on March 10, 2019, 10:44:39 am
Although the result was welcome, I can't say I enjoyed the game.
Too much hoofball with ill-directed long balls from the back and few passages of play where they managed to string 3 or more passes together.
However the back 4 looked solid and the midfield 3 provided a physical barrier.
This was probably the most experienced side he could put out especially when A.Williams replaced Sordell, with only Goode having less than 90 first team appearances.

It will be interesting to see if experience will give way to youth once our tentative interest in the play-offs is finally laid to rest.

I enjoyed the game yesterday, it's nice that we are starting to boss games and are in total control. It is not spectacular, but we now look solid and for a so called better team in the division , i thought they were never really in it. Hard to choose a MOM as every one played well, no weak link yesterday, amazed at what a different player Daniel Powell looks at the moment, whatever they have done with him, long may it continue.

Re Powell, I suspect that the pending threat of unemployment has focused his mind a bit.

Wasn't there a pending threat of unemployment most of the Championship season too? You may be on to something.

Agreed Goode is looking very solid indeed.
Their goal was another Ash Taylor mistake, although apart from that he played OK.
Exeter were v poor, no way are they going anywhere, took off their best player Nicky Law and faded badly.

I'm struggling to see that mistake.

He's switched fire away from finding fault with Cornell... ;D

No way was the goal Taylors fault.Exeter no 5 reacted quicker than Taylor to Cornells save but that happens.
Taylor has played well the last 4 games, need to give credit where it is due.

Full highlights are now up.

First thoughts are that the blocks at 0-0 by Goode and I think Taylor were much better than they looked live, and fundamentally changed the course of the afternoon.

Secondly the save by DC at 1-0 low down to his right is a good 'un, and points towards an improvement in his game lately.
