The midfield looks really weak. Trouble is its probably the best we have.
It doesn't though... kirk had amazing stats before he came to us (and arguably is still making chances on a weekly basis), dobbo was one of the best defensive midfielders in the league last year, fraser has proven himself to be a goal scorer/creator in this league across a number of years and JRS looks a real talent. It just hasn't clicked yet

We want 442....but midfield looks weak....apparently...
Disagree fully, its a talented 4 with players there to unlock teams and will do, aslong as they are set up to do so. It can be pretty fluid and can allow us to set up in different ways to dictate the game.
Cant ask for 442 and then moan...its mental.
Agreed - if we r going to try and outgun teams then at least we have some guns in this set up - I like it
Must have missed something,who is this and why emotional?
He is a 19 year old on loan at Exeter from Fulham.
His dad died, while he was an Exeter player, Jay was 7 at the time, and they retired his number 9 shirt. Jay is the first player to ware it since. Today is his first goal.
Kirk almost played JRS in on the counter from the halfway line. Probably took one touch too many and the pass was slightly overweighted. Keeper did well to come way out of his box to clear.

Emotional
We shall see.
Similar to what we saw during Pre Season from those three
Exeter retired his shirt number as a result - But brought it out of retirement when his Son: Jay joined on loan from Fulham this summer

Wonder if he will score in his next match😀
That said, it makes our squad construction all the more baffling.
