Sladeball in a suit

One game, basically a new team need time to gel pi$$ing grow up !!

Quoted from Mikey_345

Well you called him “Sladeball in a suit” so are you saying he’s told them to play like that then as that’s what your post incinuates.

Making them play to the game plan as his job has nothing to do with what you said as (the performance is indefensible) ....But your saying he’s deliberately asking them to play long balls, no?!

I think he meant that the performance was Slade-like and the only difference is the manager's suit (which is too tight incidentally) as opposed to training top and baseball hat - nothing has changed!

Correct

In my opinion he told them to play long down the channels when in possession. The other part of the game plan they didn't stick to I am not sure.

In my opinion he tried to get Hooper to outpace the defence

I wondered how long it would take for that annual "time to gel" excuse, I'm sorry but that doesn't excuse that performance.

We made an average FGR side look world beaters, are you saying they have had time to gel?

Jolley can only work with the tools he's got clearly FGR has better tools in every dept at their disposal.

Has Jolley been shortchanged in the transfer market??

Only time will tell but both Jolley and the fans were badly let down yesterday no wonder he kicked the water bottle down the touchline in frustration.

He looked absolutely pissde off and so were we.

Maybe but I thought FGR looked a lot better than average they're a big well-drilled outfit that CAN play some lovely quick passing football on the deck.

Average ? Pass and moved as good as anybody in league 2 past of couple of years I’ve seen , much better than average

Was instantly concerned when I realised that their number 4 (Lloyd James) was playing - always looked good for Exeter and I believe played for Southampton in the past. They were comfortable in possession and always had the option of going to Reid who had Harry Clifton on toast for the whole game.

I was shocked at how easily and often they were given the ball back without even putting us under much pressure at all. FGR look a decent outfit, and due to their resources I posted on here that they would be my surprise team of the season, but I'm not going to elevate their performance to being one of a table topping side yet. They looked an upper mid-table side to me, but who knows how good they are? We made it far too easy for them without them having to make it far too difficult for us..

Based upon them having 30 shots and us winning 3-1 away, Chesterfield fans thought both sides would be top seven after the opening game of last season..

We may have been bad, but for me, they compounded it by being much better than i was expecting. They have clearly strengthened a hell of a lot from last season, and i think they looked at least top 7. As ever, only time will tell.
