Exeter City v Bolton Wanderers

Still think Jones at fault for the first as he half heartedly went in to win the header. Half asleep all of them. Anyway happy mother's day to those with us and those no longer with us. A day for that. Worry about Oxford and the injuries on Monday.

I'm not saying that the defence didn't play their part, of course they did. You are quite right about them protecting the goalkeeper, but had Coleman been on his line for the first goal I think he could have saved it.

As for the second as I said it was a good strike but he was still too far off his line to even attempt to save it. If he plays like that in every game, expect more silly goals being scored against us.

we have a good keeping coach and I expect him to have words with Coleman about his positioning.

Oxford are super confident they'll get something on Tues. A loss isn't on their sweeps for Tues around Oxford.

Don't forget we are 8pm gmt kick-off, on the sky Telly Tuesday night.
What time is the chemist open in the morning!!

The failure excuses are rolling, no doubt there's plenty more to come. IE's excuses won't cut it, he's the guy where the buck stops.

It appears IE had an abundance of strikers and is now down to the worst of the bad bunch.
It's not by bad luck, it's down to the manager not bringing in right quality to do the job required.

Will IE need all the remaining games to save himself?
Or will we see IE's Phil Neal moment arrive before we bid each other farewell until next season.

How many goals and assists has Cameron Jerome to his credit? Is it one of each? JDB, I think, has eight goals, once again, I can't tell you how many assists he has. Perhaps someone who is on top of the stats will be able to enlighten me.

I'm not say that Jerome hasn't contributed to our position because he has come on when needed and steadied the ship when we have been wavering on the brink of disaster. However he was brought in as a striker and his tally in front of goal has hardly been prolific, despite his game time being limited, his tally is too light for a striker.

JDB, has also had limited time on the pitch and his rewards with goals has been better. Whether or not it's acceptable is debatable, but I would give him the benefit of doubt.

However, we place a lot of store on recruiting and money has been pumped into that department. It's difficult to say that they haven't done a good job on the whole.

We have to accept that injuries are having a really bad effect with key players out with serious injuries. If we manage to get into the Championship with what we have, I think we will be very lucky indeed, unless we have a major change in luck with injuries. We no longer have the benefit of being able to add players until the end of the season.

With or without injuries. We do seem to have good and bad moments with one or the other section of the team. The points we've dropped can't all be down to bad luck with something or other.
Unless lady luck shows up bearing a miracle for the run in. I can't see us making it this season.

Vic signed off for 4 to 6 weeks.
Is it Collins or bod up top, until we break one of them as well.
Has IE been flogging them in training to be super fit and blaming fixtures for their bodies giving way under the strain of it all.

It doesn't add up, if they were all injuries caused by bad tackles by either side you could understand it. That's not the case though is it.

Toal still playing while carrying a problem, has been brushed under the carpet.

Might well have to be the play offs again but hopefully players will be back then. Just haven't been good enough. Dropped off badly since beating Carlisle. Only still in with a chance of automatics because other sides have been dropping points. All well and good looking after the international break but don't win tomorrow and lose at derby then forget top 2.
