FT: EXETER CITY 0 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[splott parker]

Ashford off. Not sure what the second yellow was for.

Kicking the ball away apparently.

[PontBlue]

Stupid by Ashford kicking the ball away when already booked

[Coyote]

Does that suspend him vs Bradford Saturday, or just the game vs Newport?

The EFL Trophy rule:
A suspension from an EFL Trophy red card must be served in the EFL Trophy, not in the regular league or other cup competitions.

Can we appeal to the FAW?

Who was it in the 2008 FA Cup that was banned but the FAW rescinded his red card?

Perfect

[Hilts]

Made hard work of that last few minutes. Should have finished them off long before the end.

Not good if Ashford is suspended Saturday.

OK, that's not too bad. We can run Nyakuhwa, Davies, Kellyman and Willock as options against Newport and give Ashford a rest. Give him the full 90 maybe in the game before and then a nice week break.

Great. 👍

Thought Perrett did well.

[PontBlue]

Thought Perrett did well.

He did. I thought Giles grew into the game and Mafico won the ball back so many times after his initial wayward pass

[Hilts]

Thought Perrett did well.

Yeah he did.

I wouldn't be worried about Perrett or Mafico stepping in during league games if we have
injuries.

[Des Parrot]

Thought Perrett did well.

Agreed

Yep keep it going

[ccfcwelshlad]

I thought something was said to their keeper because when the ref spoke to him our lot were chanting he's going to cry in a minute

I think it was because of chants calling the keeper a p*edo.

Plenty of tannoy announcements saying the game was going to get abandoned even after it has stopped.

No issue with the Exeter fans singing sheep shagger songs all game of course.

We are, though, aren't we?..

Mafico had some good playmaking tonight, I think he's settled nicely into the CDM role in terms of chance creation.

[BLUEAWAY TOO]

Not good if Ashford is suspended Saturday.

Still very undecided about Ashford - he isn’t effective enough

What?

[ToTaL ITK]

still unbeaten....when will it come.

Ashford has finesse, but he's not a player that can muscle past defenders, which I think you need more of at this level.

I think he can shine in the Championship where it's less about brute strength from the wing-backs, and more about stylish play. They tend to throw a hard CB on the wingers at League One who can win physical contests.

[The Bloop]

Did anyone claim their free cup of tea at the ground?

"It's a competition that we value.

There's certain players that have played a lot of games for us in a short of space of time.

I'm conscious of the fact that they can't play them all and there will definitely be changes for that game."

Should we make the Vertu final, surely we’ll be the only team to ever be able to say we’ve played at Wembley in the Prem, FA Cup, League Cup, playoffs and Football League Trophy

I liked Ashford, i had him down as a thinker, he used his body well, put himself in positions that would benefit him greatly before he received the ball. He's a player who can slow things down a little, he's not urgent on the ball in my opinion, and i don't mind that. I think that he's stalled a little, whether thats down to development or the way we are playing now, the spoil tactics in this god awful division, i don't know. I hope that he kicks on, he's still only 19? He'll have a fill out over the next 18 months or so.

Thought Perrett did well.

I can remember a young city player making their debut at Oxford wearing 52. I remember commenting at the end of the game that the biggest complement I could give him was I forgot he was there as he fitted in seamlessly. Echo that tonight.

The player at Oxford was Joe Ralls.
