Exeter's Form

Now I don't profess to be the font of all when it comes to City. But how the actual feck can a team that was getting dicked every week turn it around in such spectacular fashion? I'm not aware of massive squad changes. Wheeler has 8 in his last 7 now but they are obviously solid at the back as well.

I think historically under Tisdale they have either been in peaks or troughs, but the polar opposite form they have shown is truly remarkable.

Hopefully our new boys can click straight away because I think it could potentially be a very embarrassing afternoon next Saturday.

I honestly think argo will piss this, Exeters form has been outstanding but a dramatic defeat always follows a freaky/flukey run.

May have to treat them like Liverpool and put 11 men behind the ball for 90 minutes. I think we'll be in for a bit of a hiding.

I think Shitty will do one on us , particularly as argyle bottle the big games, also shitty scoring for fun. They must have the best form in the league currently.
Hope not though obviously.

Given our league position and their form, I'd take a draw here and now. I don't think I'd have ever said that before.

Fer Gawds sake... Man up.

It's still only Exeter.

No future in those sort of tactics Freathers We'll end up losing again.

It is, yes.

I'd wager a few Prem managers were saying something similar last year just prior to playing Leicester.

An uneasy parallel to this time last year...

2015/16

Northampton P 27 Pts 58
Argyle P 28 Pts 56
Oxford P 27 Pts 51
Bristol R P 28 Pts 47

Bristol Rvrs, the form team, 9 pts behind and overhauled us.

Good point, feel better for a bit of reality.

Reminds me of the time King Tommy re-joined on loan and we won 8 on the bounce to go from mid-table into promotion place. Strange turnaround with same players. Has their form pushed their gates above 1000 yet?

It was their home form earlier in the season that was bad. Their away form has been consistently good all season. Cannot see them not finishing top 3. But whose place will they take? I wonder.....

Anyway they'll definitely brush aside piss poor Argo with a Wheeler brace next Saturday

Just like that Cambridge equaliser yesterday

Almost all of Exeters wins have been in front of two or three thousand fans in shit little grounds similar to the Sidhole, i think they will fold like a cheap tent at the Brentihad.

That's quite remarkable. 

Encouraged by yesterday's result though and it feels like the squad has more about it this year. Spencer and possibly Brunt to come back in too.

I think it'll be a draw on Saturday. They need the win more than we do.

What like our win at Portsmouth last week in front of 17,195 people?

You green boys really are clutching at straws aren't you?

Your better off forgetting about this fixture and concentrate on scraping ugly and lucky one goal winners against crap teams, our boys are out of your league chums!

I think the more sane amongst us have learnt our lesson from last season and that's why most of us keeping our counsel, because all of this bragging has a habit of smacking you in the chops.

I thought to myself, this chap seems familiar!

...Only come on here when we are going to thrash you, got better things to do normally.

Still it seems to work!

I take my hat to the Grecians, their form of late has been astonishing, which will make for an entertaining (or a cagey-scrappy) affair in a game of vital importance to both teams.

Argyle must avoid a defeat against the red and whites. I think they will win the match 1-0, but it will be a hard fought three points.

I'm all of a tether, wondering if green or red will win through.

Getting properly cold toward the end of the week.

Just a few weeks ago Exeter were Dogshit, i'm confident that your return to Dogshittiness,will begin on saturday.

Got to admire Derek Adams, spotted just how good David Wheeler was and tried to lure him to your gaff, just a pity Wheeler wasn't in the slightest interested and signed a contract with us. Why don't you try Ollie Watkins he looks a bit gullible, doubt Reuban Reid would be interested!

Seems such a shame that our freescoring forward line is going to dry up at The Gnome, we haven't come across a player like Gary Sawyer before, Wheeler must be crapping himself!

Still there's always Harley, remember him?
