Hartridges foul nowhere near one of the worst of the day

The bloke in front of me has returned to his seat with what looks like a thimble of coffee. Catering operation really is a joke here - how hard can it be?

Ffs

ARSEPIECE

Ahh what a fluke

Has anyone been unfortunate enough to get a coffee in the ground today? Cold is an understatement.

One kiosk open in the family stand for the coolest game of the season. Terrific.

COME ON YOU OVER-ACHIEVING BLUES!!!

Lol, Morely has done Exeter again

For what it’s worth, some of you on here tend to view me as a negative poster. I thought we played well. We scored a penalty. We missed a big chance with Kone. Joe Low missed a huge chance too. That’s solid enough creativity for me, particularly when Humphreys had to drop deeper in build up play.

I would have taken a point at the moment Hartridge was sent off, so I am not overly displeased at full time despite the late goal. Hartridge shouldn’t have been playing in the first place - we’ve seen he isn’t capable for a promotion push in his ample appearances. Walking disaster. He had a poor first half and arguably should have been taken off at half time.

It doesn’t bother me because Bloomfield is already looking at a left footed defender in the Norwegian league (which has finished because their season is winter to winter). He’s also rumoured with the Villa left footer. Taylor could also return.

The obvious short term solution is Skura because Tafa is out of favour since he doesn’t suit the Bloomfield style.

Wheeler, Vokes, Butcher, Young and a variety of others don’t suit the new system either. All will go.

Bloomfield is making some excellent calls. His subs were great today, especially Kodua who has had two good showings off the bench in a row.

I think we are lacking a goalkeeper, a right back, a left centre half, a Morley replacement, arguably a left back and we still await the return of Sadlier. It’s going to be an incredibly busy January. My hope is that we don’t drop too many points in the meantime. I can’t consider an outcome where we don’t get three points today if Morley and Taylor start.

Tuesday is massive. I would much rather win Tuesday’s game than today’s. Let’s hope we can manage that. A loss there makes things very tricky for us for automatic promotion.
