Applescore: 8 can't fault it that much when you win 4-1 tbh
AMB: 7 couple of decent saves, needs to be more vocal though
T.WATSON: 5.5 lost at sea first half, better in the second one though
HECTOR: 7 looked good for the most part
JONES: 7 same as Hector
THOMAS: 6.5 I get he can play left back, but he's not the marauding, overlapping wing back i'd prefer to have
L.WATSON: 8 bossed the first half, faded slightly at the end but looked great
DOBSON: 7.5 some great, rangy passing on display
TEDIĆ: 6.5 played out of position and it showed at times, makes some great runs that don't get seen, decent turn and shot late on
MAY: 8 hustles, harries and chases, right place at the right time got both his goals
CBT: 7.5 took his goal well and is unplayable at times, also tracked back quite a bit too, which is great to see
ANEKE: 7 gets a brace on a different day, he's just so powerful on the ball and willing to shoot with either foot. But most importantly was tactically subbed, not because of an injury, which is huge progress for him
LEABURN: 7 absolutely hammered in his goal, imagine putting up with Aneke all game just to see a quick, strong 6'5" sub coming on, defender's nightmare
Referee: 6 thought the 2 big decisions were slightly "homer" biased, but it's been a long time since we've had that in any capacity. Absolute banter too adding on 9 minutes when it was a foregone conclusion with our defence just popping it around at the back, and then playing the full 9 mins too
Applescore: 6 - still working out best formation / line-up but getting more from certain players
AMB: 6 - looked a bit rusty T.WATSON: 6.5 - their winger in first half a handful but he grew into the game HECTOR: 7 - looked much more confident and composed, albeit done for Exeter goal JONES: 7 - didn’t notice him too much which is a positive! Less of an issue last night but I hate the way he pulls out of tackles in the penalty area - has directly cost us at least a couple of goals with that this season THOMAS: 6 - filling in OK but he slows us down and is prone to the occasional howler L.WATSON: 8.5 - bundle of energy and great technique too DOBSON: 8 - lynchpin. He asked to get subbed - to avoid a yellow once game won rather than a knock, I hope TEDIĆ: 7 - fairly quiet but more to come MAY: 8 - looked lost first half hour but kept at it and rewarded with two goals. Less keen on the diving / writhing re sending off CBT: 8 - too good for this league on current form ANEKE: 7.5 - solid performance for nearly 70 mins and unlucky not to get on scoresheet. Poor pen though. LEABURN: 7.5 - super goal Referee: 7 - for once I didn’t lose my voice yelling at him.
Applescore: 6.5 - Formation, selections and tactics looked iffy first half but we had enough to see a win, uses subs well.
AMB: 6 - Seemed to go down in slow motion for their goal but no real positives/ negatives stood out - and I mean that as a good thing. T.WATSON: 6 - V good going forward, beaten a bit in defence, hasnt had a preseason though and played quite a bit in quick succession. HECTOR: 6 - Continues to look too good for league one and dozy throughout the same game. JONES: 7 - Ryan who? THOMAS: 6 - Off game from him, personally think him and Jones will see out the season as the CB pairing of choice. L.WATSON: 8 - Love him, can do a bit of everything DOBSON: 6 - Look, you've improved your game some this season, but less of that Cruyff turn stuff yeah? TEDIĆ: 6 - Not suited to be out wide, has been looking good so harsh to judge him so poorly out of position, should have had a goal but, well. MAY: 8 - EVERYWHERE CBT: 7 - Dealt with for the most part first half ANEKE: 6.5 - Strength but slow. His header brought about the equaliser. LEABURN: 7 - Good finish
Referee: 5 - Not going to over rate him just because we got the favour, typical shite league one ref that would have people calling for an investigation into match fixing if the Exeter decisions went against us.
AMB: 5.5 - Hoped he would do better for their goal T.WATSON: 6 - Ok HECTOR: 6.5 - Solid bar the positional error allowing the through ball for the goal JONES: 7 - Solid and reliable THOMAS: 6.5 - Lapses, but generally good. Could go forward a bit more rather than turn out and pass backwards L.WATSON: 7.5 - Driving force first half when we didn't have much else DOBSON: 6 - Not one of his best games, but still helpful in the middle. Enabled Watson to flourish more TEDIĆ: 6.5 - Handy hold up play playing near Aneke MAY: 8 - Didn't think the positional change was that effective first half, but created two of our goals through some great moments, let Aneke take the pen and then scored it himself (Justice!). Plus his 2nd finish was emphatic! CBT: 7.5 - Bit missing first half, but able to take advantage in the 2nd against a tiring defence ANEKE: 8 - Everything we had going forwards first half came from feeding the ball to his feet. Thought he was fantastic LEABURN: 6.5 - Great finish, not much else to judge Referee: 6 - I didnt think he was too bad. From my angle behind the goal agree it was a pen, haven't seen the challenge again for the red.
Applescore: 7 AMB: 6.5 - Couple of good saves T.WATSON: 6 Can't defend but great going forward HECTOR: 7 - Love the man JONES: 7.5 - Looks fitter and more commanding now THOMAS: 6 - Basically the reserve of Watson, doing a decent job filling in at LB L.WATSON: 7 - lovely to watch on the ball, good player DOBSON: 6 - a quiet game from Dobbo, the roulette spin on the ball was obviously practiced this week! TEDIĆ: 6.5 - very anonymous first half, absolute class in the 2nd half MAY: 7.5 - Never spots running, 2 poachers goals. lovely CBT: 7.5 - Absolutely mustard. Not everything comes off but he terrifies other sides. makes a lot of space for other players when they double up on him ANEKE: 6.5 - First touch is out of this world, getting fitter each game. Not the worst penalty i've ever seen but loses .5 for missing LEABURN: 7 - superbly taken goal Referee: 7 - Fell for Exeter's cheap diving to the floor antics. But we got the penalty and the red card so can't complain!
AMB: 7 Did what was asked of him T.WATSON: 5.5 Bonus for winning the penno but I thought he was run ragged . Unfortunately Watson wasn't tracking #12 and was leaving Watson to pick up two but he didn't pick up either. Improved second half. They targeted him aerially too so I wonder if it is known he has a 50p head HECTOR: 6 scares me sometimes but reassures me at other times. Strange player JONES: 7.5 Best I've seen from him. Starting to really like him THOMAS: 6.5 Not a left footer and not a wing back. So frustrating he has to cut back all the time because he isn't comfortable running on the outside L.WATSON: 7 As I said the other day - there is a bit of Josh Cullen in him. Tidy and efficient on the ball and ALWAYS available. Good at finding space DOBSON: 7 Saw some negative comments against him but I thought he was absolutely standard Dobbo. Excellent. He has also shown better range of passing and more skills to his game. TEDIĆ: 6.5 Worked hard and is very intelligent. Strong but no pace. Will play a big part in the season I suspect MAY: 8 MOM What an engine! Unfamiliar position but clearly Appleton knew Exeter would be physical so gave Alfie a bit of freedom to roam and cause havic which he did. He must be a bastard to play against CBT: 7 Such a great outlet for us and scared them silly ANEKE: 7 He really put in a shift. I saw one bit where the defender had his shirt, was holding his arms and pushing but Chuks still ran away from him with the ball. if he can stay fit he could be awesome in this league LEABURN: 7 Nice goal and good to see him looking so fresh
Referee: 7 We've had a lot worse but I wasn't sure if the penalty was a penalty and fairly sure the red card wasn't a red card.
Applescore: 8 - Good tactics, and subs AMB: 7 = No chance with goal and two very good important saves T.WATSON: 6 - Poor 1st half but much better when pushing forwards in second half HECTOR: 7 - Fairly solid JONES: 7 - Ditto THOMAS: 6.5 - Ditto L.WATSON: 8 - Had a storming first half and did well till he ran out of steam DOBSON: 7 - Consistently solid TEDIĆ: 6.5 - Tried hard to make things work in unfamiliar position MAY: 7.5 - Ran his heart out and got better and better as the game went on CBT: 7 - Fairly quiet game for him but still scored and caused problems ANEKE: 7 - Back to the old Chuks, bustling, barging, and just lacking the goal his confidence needs LEABURN: 7 - Did well and took his goal brilliantly Referee: 6 - Let a lot go from both sides and felt the red as harsh
Applescore: 6 Starting line-up bold and unusual and didn't work at first, but he seems to get the team motivated at half time, and his use of subs seems good. Nice for him to have better options from the bench though.
AMB: 6 Great save diving down low later on. Those that say he should have done better with the goal are being a bit harsh imo. T.WATSON: 6 Struggled first half but grew into game. An upgrade on Sean Clare. HECTOR: 7 Good game from him. Much better than recent performances. Not sure if the goal was his fault or a team effort. JONES: 7.5 Our best defender. Looking better every game. THOMAS: 6 Our worst defender. Does some good stuff, but makes lots of mistakes. He is playing out of position though. L.WATSON: 8 Great game. He looks an exciting prospect. Always seems to look for the positive option. Works hard and complements Dobbo nicely. DOBSON: 7.5 Worked his socks off as usual. A few wayward passes but they were outweighed by the good ones. The glue that holds the team together. TEDIĆ: 6 Did ok and looks like a talented player. Not sure playing him out wide is the best idea though. MAY: 9 Great performance. He works so hard and is a real goal scorer. Very pleased for him that he got a brace. Thoroughly deserved. CBT: 6.5 Didn't do much first half (other than score!) but grew into the game. Not his best game, but still a big threat down the left. ANEKE: 7 Great to see him back and lasting 70 minutes. His timing for his shooting seems off at the moment - no power - and poor penalty, but he does cause problems and creates for others. LEABURN: 7 Well taken goal and took over where Chuks left off. Great to have such an option from the bench.
Referee: 6 Mostly okay and let the game flow, but not sure he got the big decisions right, particularly the sending off, which looked harsh.
T.CAMPBELL: n/a ASIIMWE: n/a FRASER: n/a He looked really up for it when he came on and had some lovely touches, but Exeter were finished by then (and a man down). Will be good to get him back in the starting eleven. A midfield three of him, Dobbo and Louie Watson looks exciting. C.CAMPBELL: n/a
