Oh dear this is bad. I really want Ollie to succeed but for the first time I am having doubts, we are not just losing but are being outclassed  by team with a much smaller fan base - we deserve better.

Sometimes I think that it's not a good idea to be able to watch i-follow without any problems.

Must admit I'd seen enough early second half and switched to Crime and Investigation.

Roll on Saturday, not!!!!!!!

COVID clause fooked us. Cannot attract enough quality. What annoys me most of all is the poor distribution of the ball which almost always ends up with the opposition. Good job we won’t be playing Exeter every week as they are miles ahead of us. That said I do not think we are bad enough to go down

Quoted from FishOutOfWater


Not going to let that go.... no way can I accept that this team is better than any that Jolley put out. No way whatsoever



Really? Fair enough, it’s all about opinions, but from what I remember we were a painfully negative and uninspiring team that was only heading one way. I think the players were capable of more but Jolley had sucked the life out of them.

I don’t think we’re much better now but we are better. We will get enough points from the the teams around us to be okay (Crawley for example) but that’s it.

I’d be interested to know in what way you think we were better considering you think it so outrageous to suggest otherwise.

Even if we accept that Holloway's absolutely shite player purchases/signings are down to the budget (which I don't necessarily think they are) what has he actually done to get the best out of them and turn them into some sort of team however poor?

He's not up to the job, some of the better players (as opposed to the kids and those from the 7th or 8th tier) are not even on the bench and are clearly not playing for him, that is down to Holloway and no one else. He's out of his depth in the basement of the FL and the sooner he realises it the better.

I guess it’s still early days in the Holloway Project (that experimental Jazz collective - free form skat a speciality in post-match interviews).

Given that we’ve had 5 different managers so far in less than 5 seasons, and all records have been much the same (Hurst not here in L2 long enough) that must tell us something. We just keep moving the deckchairs. Until the glorious day we should just suck it up.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Quoted from Southwark Mariner


Don't be so dramatic. Exeter are likely to get promoted. We're good enough not to go down.


Think those rose tinted glasses need a clean ...11 goals conceded in 3 games and 2 scored.....we are not very good, not very good at all....yes, Exeter probably will go up, but we are heading one way, one way back into oblivion....that's the harsh reality of where we are....pains me to say it, but Jolley had more if clue than Holloway at times....

I watched that and I didn't switch.

Don't we do anything on the training ground. Exeter rehearsed everything they did tonight in training and made it look so easy. The only thing we can have rehearsed is picking the ball out of the net Actually we are not going to get any worse because that's an impossibility. They could so easily have doubled their 4 goals.

Quoted from Ipswin



The Crawley win changed nowt, just gave us false hope - it happens half a dozen times every season. Promise much one match and total shite again the next five


Did it promise much? I don’t think so. We ground out a win with a couple of decent goals, we hardly overran them.

You’re right about it changing nowt. Just like tonight. As several have already said, we are what we are. Change on the managerial front won’t alter that.
