Not a bad game to watch.
We didn’t get the rub of the green and Exeter had their keeper down as MOM and rightly so.
As in the second half, our strikers were largely ineffectual. I would let Pigott anywhere near the squad on this showing, let alone the previous games I’ve seen recently. He really isn’t up to it and we played with what was effectively 10 men until he was replaced with Jacobs. It isn’t that Jacobs is always particularly good and was particularly brilliant but at least he is always competent and can pose a real threat. He also does always provide a link between other players even when he isn’t on his game.
We had the ball in the back of the net. Should it have stood? No.
Regardless of whether Morrison brought the defender down, or not, a second before that Raggett was hauled over by their number eight who was swinging him around the 18 yard box by his arm. I would imagine that it shows up in the highlights so take a look and see if you agree. A clear penalty, for me.
I agreed with the substitutions apart from Morrell for Tunnicliffe. I thought Tunnicliffe was one of the better players on the pitch. Maybe started to tire.
Nice to see Robertson have a good game, at last.
Swanson was a revelation when he came on. Dale had tried his hardest but he just is not a defender. Good to see Zak back and we’ll need him for Ipswich.
Are we on the road back? There were signs but we’re not there yet. Not by a long way.
