Exeter vs Charlton League Cup 1st Round: Post match views

Pretty poor defending for their goal - nobody took responsibility for it.

Hadn't realised that the Clarke goal was a soft shot which got deflected in!

I think the final touch came off Charles-Cook, was a huge deflection from terrible first shot.

They all count.

That Crofts tackle was definitely tired legs - as an ageing player, he was never going be quick enough to make up the ground and slid from too great a distance from the opponent.

From what I can make out replaying the incident in slo-mo, even if the Exeter player is playing for the foul, he does collect the ball a split second before Crofts clatters him from behind. Definitely a foul but dangerous play? IMO a lot of refs would have given only a yellow.

Except he doesn't fumble it. Maybe you didn't see Amos on Saturday, now they were fumbles.

Games played week commencing 21st August, so Novak will be available to terrorise the opposition defences

and see if he can beat his 6 minute record

This season's Lewis Page...

Feel sorry for Page. Not much fun sitting in the wings injured before you've even made your mark at a club.

You're right he got nowhere near a free kick that was floated over the attacking players and was at waist height as it went past him.

He made some fantastic blocks and saves too, from both what I have read and seen in highlights BUT It was another goal conceded where he was between the sticks from a free kick. He is young and will hopefully learn from them, but you've got to stop trying to wrap up these youth players in cotton.

I am certain he'll be pissed at himself...

And that is all it needs for you to dig him out. Every goal the team has conceded while he's playing has, according to you, been his fault when it clearly it isn't.

The free kick comes through a group of outfield players, none of whom attack it properly, leaving the keeper unsighted. The wall is meant to stop balls at "waist" height.

Not sure where to put this information, but after the talk of Euell going to Exeter, I heard someone from Southend on Talksport saying that their under 23 team are playing a Charlton team at Sparrows Lane this afternoon. Most under 23 players were at Exeter, so wondering what players are taking part

Wasn't waist height until it got to Phillips, and I'm sorry but his positioning is all wrong if he's unsighted for that free kick, or he needs contact lenses

You see those kind of goals occasionally, in all leagues. It's not normally deemed to be the goalie's fault, more like a freak goal. You'd expect someone to get on a head on it.

exactly

The ball was played through the air, floated over the wall... It wasn't coming at him with any real pace and a good old fashioned fist would have dealt with it.

I am criticising him where I see he has made mistakes. I stood up for him when he pushed the ball out of goal, but into a strikers feet in one of the PSFs but if you want to believe that I think he's shite because of it you're very wrong.

I see his confidence is shot and he is making wrong decisions (IMO), but he's the pro, not me or you and I believe a few cup games with a clean sheet or two will sort him out.

Either that or he needs to copy something I read Ronaldo does...

You take the lessons of the mistakes you make that day no longer and the next morning you ignore all the bad parts of each game that you were involved in and remember all the good parts. How can you ever be lacking confidence when every game, even a loss can be a good personal performance in your mind...

(though Ron isn't a GK and his mistakes are rarely costly!)

Leicester, Derby or the massives away will all suit me nicely if that's the case

Is this about Phillips? I though he had rave reviews for the games yesterday? Hardly anyone's mentioned the goal we conceded, so I'd expect his confidence to be ok compared to Amos who looked pretty wobbly on Saturday I thought.
