Exeter City 1 - 1 Derby County

EXETER CITY v DERBY COUNTY League 1 # 43


1945 St James Park Tuesday 18th April 2023

Once again, Derby have conspired in a spooky way to suck the joy out of being a Rams fan with a lacklustre draw against Bristol Rover - which could have been more than just a disputed penalty but possibly total embarrassment.

Not much to write - well there is - but I only just remembered Derby were playing today when I got to work this morning and I have a full day.

Yep, strike days to organise

Long journey for a Tuesday evening fixture will it be worth it?

So, play-offs are still a possibility but with some questionning PW's tactical nous - look we are where we are and I know its a cliche, we were nowhere 15 months ago....I still back him, we can't go on the carousel again - please?


Team news:- Wildsmith (GK), Forsyth, Hourihane, Cashin, Bird, McGoldrick, Mendez-Laing, Roberts, Sibley, Davies (C), Knight

So who knew of Exeter manager (Gary Caldwell) links to Derby County? Apparently he played 9 times for us in 2003 on loan from Newcastle Utd.

Apparently our assistant manager (Richard Barker) made some remarks about Caldwell after the game. I didn't hear it properly but there seems to have been some beef and that Caldwell showed a lack of respect to Derby. Issues on touchline apparently.

Anyone got more on that?

Re Sibley he was very quiet in the first half but then he was rarely given the ball. He was more involved in the second half.

The spat with the Exeter bench was not clear from the streaming of the game except that I did notice some serious arm gesticulation when Derby "took their time" making a twin substitution but that was negated when Exeter made their almost concurrent substitution and took quite a while to complete it! I assume there were some verbals at the same time.
