Match Day Thread: Exeter 19th Aug 2025

It looks to be a 4231 out of possession, then we switch to an odd 3Diamond43.

I just don’t believe we are going to score a goal

Great selection of flags in the away end.

Allen is doing a pretty good Harvie impression. But the gap behind him is HUGE and Leahy doesn’t really have the legs to cover, which is what I think is supposed to happen.

I think there was a penalty clause written into all the new players’ contracts warning them about scoring in the first half.

We really need a commanding striker. Udoh drops so deep there.

We’ve moved it round well, but a problem with cute defensive passing is it’s hard to do when you’re low on confidence.

Really good 10 minute spell

Looking a lot better so far compared to recent games - just got to keep it up

This feels better. Need a goal to build the confidence.

Sam Vokes would do well here.

Allen making things happen.

Less fannying about at the back and managing to play out successfully. We miss Harvies midfield link up play but Allen has put some dangerous balls in when he has overlapped. Can’t help but feel Lowry is slightly wasted out on the left.

Allen’s balls into the box are superb…but no Bayo/Mooney/Vokes in the box to put it away.

Fink looked like a possible more mobile Sam Vokes. Have a feeling Fink would love those crosses from Allen.

Yeah we are crossing it in the thinking Fink is in the middle…

Vokes would have also loved those crosses.

any ideas on when he will actually be available?

Mullins has a touch of Rick Astley about him

Probably about the same time Vokes would have been.

Very disappointing opening 15 followed by a much better 10 mins. Growing into it. Very poor opposition though. Shouldn’t be sacrificing so much territory from poor pressing. Really bad to concede so many cheap corners from poor shape out of possession.

We look good until we get to the 18 yard box.
