watched Wycombe v Exeter on Saturday, i will be seriously shocked if Harper makes it at Ipswich, (probably stating the obvious) he's so far away from being at our level. He wasn't bad but hes far too in and out during games, looked decent for 5 mins then done nothing for 25 mins.
With that Physic, he should be dominating games, he's like a poor mans Pogba. He looks like he needs a rocket up him to get him going.
Niombe was impressive for Exeter, good movement, caused Wycombe problems all game.
Wycombe if they get in the play offs then something ahead of them must have gone wrong, they look a decent league 1 side but short of play off quality. I wouldn't fear them in the play offs but it would be a tough game at Adams park. |  | | |  |

Still really disappointed with our away game at Adam’s park… it was a grim day, in a grim ground
But no excuse for how we failed to turn up.
Chaplin and Ladapo were some of the worst offenders.
And sadly it was the day the lack of physique and experience caught up with Humphreys - oh for a Lunongo that day!
And of course our defence parted like the Red Sea
Just think if we’d won that! And also Humphreys puts a better block on the Plymouth attacker in the 93rd minute!
Don’t get me wrong I’m Humphreys biggest fans! And a massive backer of McKenna and the project. |  |

Harper, Penney, Pigott, KVY, Aluko, Keogh. Perhaps Edwards too. I wouldn't be surprised if Keogh stays in a coaching role. [Post edited 6 Mar 2023 10:45]

Not sure how Ladapo has caught a stray for that game. He actually held the ball up superbly at Adams park but had 0 help running off him. |  |

Similar at Bristol Rovers I thought. Was really disappointed to see him taken off when we were chasing a goal. On the rare occasions we did get the ball into his feet he was causing problems. | |

yeah will have to be a pay off and a free i would have thought. When we got him i didn't think he'd be at Exeter after a season. | | | |

Humphreys is a big drop off from Lunongo atm but that's to be expected if i was a little surprised at how much the drop off is. | | | |

that was a poor game from us that day in the attacking 3rd. | | | |

He's only got 1 year left on his contract, I guess we might look to loan him out again and recoup as much of his wages as possible. Or like you say let him leave for free. It's a shame, he's one that on paper looked a good signing and showed glimpses of what he's capable of. It wasn't an insignificant investment when you consider what we were rumoured to have paid, it just hasn't worked out has it. They won't all work out of course, for every Davis there will be a Harper. | |

Think Aluko will be offered another year. It sounds like we unofficially use him as a mentor/coach at times.
I wonder what will happen to Idris. He’s done excellent at Orient and they love him there. Could be another loan, as I don’t see him fighting Morsy/Luongo(if he stays)/Humphries/Evans for a place |  |

I think this is it. There is a baller in there, he can really play at times. |  |

Yes, exactly. He was very good that day, those immediately behind him rather less so. |  |

In football coaching, there is a phrase about "impacting the game". Can a player make something happen. I just do not see it often enough with Rakeem to believe that managers will trust him as a regular starter. |  | | |

I reckon we will keep Aluko if we can. Think the rest are probably pretty good shouts, although I would be sad to see KVY and Edwards go. I had really high hopes for Harper too but just isn't going to happen. | |

From memory he fluffed a good chance?
It was a moment where we needed him to stand up | |

Can't remember if Keogh was named on the bench sat. But he was in the dressing room before the game. So he's keeping himself in and around things even if not in the squad. So coaching role you may well be right. |  |

That's very much the plan re Keogh from what I've heard. Very highly thought of by McKenna/Ashton. | | | |

He's fine on the ball but that's no use to anyone if your reading of the game is so poor that you never land on it. |  |

He showed glimpses of excellence in the first game of the season. Super crisp passing e.g. And then faded almost immediately. Can't have helped being in the Cook comedy squad rotation arfs, but he hasn't exactly done much on loan. There's certainly quality there, maybe he doesn't have a very good footballing brain? Would've thought than can be taught to some extent, but what do I know. |  |

Innit. One of the more obvious occasions McK got the subs/tactics wrong, imho... | |
