Yeh, because he didn't bloody bother playing for us in the Championship for a couple of games 🫠

I'm going to give Wilcox and Martin the benefit of the doubt with these signings and any others we get in. Let's see how they get on.

Exactly

The bloke's a cunt and deserves the very worst in life.

This will be an interesting one to see how far we've come under Russell's training regime. I'd like to see a bit of sense among our defenders, avoiding the idiocy of the Norwich home game. What's the news on Smallbone or Downes? Hopefully at least one of them are back to sit in central midfield alongside Charles. That will really help us as its where Plymouth and Norwich found us at our weakest. Prediction? I predicted a 3-2 win against Plymouth. I'll go for a 2-1 win this time round. The atmosphere will be excellent again. Is it just me or is there a bit of a feeling that the 'shackles' of the PL have been taken off in terms of fan trepidation before and during games?

After captaining a team to relegation 😔

VAR, glad to be rid of it in the Championship.

Bronze has been a bit shit...

We as fans have a role to play in shifting the mentality of the club. Obviously it mainly comes down to SR, Wilson, Martin and the players, but we can help. We need to convert the Premier League losing mentality from the drain-circling and relegation years into a positive winning mentality. To be fair, the fans in the ground have been really positive and the support has been great so far. We just need to keep up with that relentless positivity.

Remember last time we played them at Portman Road. 5-2 and by all accounts we swept them away. That's when I really began to think we could do it. What a fun season it was. Be interesting to see if they can get back-to-back promotions.

How was the away atmosphere? Were they all sober as that Plymouth fan suggested? We've a strong away following and we should give ourselves a big pat on the back. Plymouth played some good stuff, sure they'll stay up and maybe challenge late for playoffs?

17 years old. Wow. He's going to be a star. Feel like his time is being managed well, too. In praising him, I don't feel the need to condemn Edozie in the same breath. Edozie had a few good moments today, too.

To have a stronger squad than now? Why is that remarkably optimistic?

Played well today. Sure he'll bag a fee this year. Nice free kick too!

Think he's been caught a few times by some simple turns, flicks or lobbed passes.

On the train, coach, and in the car.

True. If it is a club decision, fair enough - can't lambast Romeo for that.

You reckon they'd have pulled out I'd he pulled a hammy or something? Love that short-termism from the big clubs.

Players that have left: Good - Lavia - JWP - Tino - ABK (certain, surely?) - Sully (certain, surely?) - Adams (pretty much confirmed) - Salisu Not good - Diallo - DCC - Ely - AMN - Walcott Players that have come in: - Charles (not sure if good or bad, but seems to be the former) - Manning (not sure!) In summary, those of you who are feeling a bit apprehensive and pessimistic about transfers have reason to be. Let's be honest though, did we expect anything else? I'm sure we will get replacements (Tella and Smallbone are almost like new recruits) where we need them, but until we do I can understand the nerves. Let's distance those nerves from our confidence going into games, though. There's a lot of positives to take despite the porous defence and midfield. We'll get there.

Take the £12m and move on. I really like Che's attitude and he's scored some really important goals for us. His all-round play has also been a real boon for us over the years. Wish him all the best.

I get everyone is saying Romeo has been a real professional, and agree to an extent as he has clearly not kicked up a fuss and has been training hard, waiting patiently for an appropriate bid. On the other hand, he's not played in any of the three games we've had so far despite being contracted to us and being paid a handsome sum per week. Unless this was something stipulated by Chelsea in early conversations during negotiations, it is frustrating.

Such pessimism based on one game and some transfer inaction. Russell's had another week training the team. Let's see what they produce on the pitch. Backed by a raucous away following fuelled by beer, there'll be a real desire and focus I think. 3-2 to Saints.

The amount Chelsea spend is mind boggling. Completely different universe.

Why have you posted a no-eyed stag?

Red and white solidarity. Always did like Exeter City FC.
