I would've thought it was Chriseen. They said Chrisaynay. O...k... Yes, that's right (at least that's the pronunciation used by the Exeter manager when referring to him) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exeter Fan Too Posted January 18, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2021 On 15/01/2021 at 18:50, OutByEaster? said: Kesler definitely - I'm still not sure if Chrisene is just filling in at left back, he played in midfield before he came here and started in midfield for us at the start of the season with the U18's. Chrisene definitely a centre midfielder when breaking into the Exeter first team squad as a 15 year old. That's where he came on when I saw him at St Andrews (!) at the start of last season as a late sub in the League Cup (against Coventry). His later sub appearances for the first team were usually replacing strikers or a winger when we were winning and running the clock down. His five first team appearances were laying down a marker , rather than trying to win games as they only amounted to about 25 minutes in total. Interesting choice to use him at left back or, as in the Liverpool FA Cup game, as wide left in a 4-5-1. I thought of him as right, rather than left, footed - but it may be he is quite comfortable using either! Not sure whether this is a development lesson/exercise or a long term plan! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 18, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted January 18, 2021 Today's results updated. Fulham move up into 3rd. Leeds extend their advantage and 2nd placed Wolves are held by lowly Burnley. Burnley 0-0 Wolves Leeds 1-0 Stoke C.Palace 2-3 Fulham 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 18, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 18, 2021 Leeds played Kalvin Phillips, Helder Costa, Tyler Roberts, Diego Llorente and Ian Poveda today. There are two things about that; firstly, given that they're in the Premier league with a manager who is known for keeping and then burning out a small squad, I'm not sure it's sensible to play half of your first team in the U23's, and secondly that Ian is a great name for a Colombian winger. Kevin Wimmer played for Stoke - which I'm guessing makes this the first PL2 game in which both sides fielded a player they'd signed for £18m. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSteveUK Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 @BOF I've seen 23/4 as a birthday for Ruben Shakpoke - and when we signed him in Oct 2020, he was supposed to be 16. Wouldnt that mean he was still 16 - too young for a pro contract ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The various different online resources are notoriously unreliable and contradictory when it comes to kids' dates of birth, and it seems with him they've got it wrong. transfermarkt has it 23/4 and fmtransferupdate has it 7/4 for example.

OutByEaster? Posted January 22, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 22, 2021 I don;'t think we're going to get much in terms of coverage for tonight's game - it doesn't look like Norwich are dong anything unfortunately. Be interesting to see if there's anyone in midfield omitted given that we're a bit thin for the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted January 22, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 22, 2021 No team news from either side as yet - the only real encouragement that I've got that signals that this game is actually happening tonight is that Norwich carried a preview piece on their website.

OutByEaster? Posted January 22, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 22, 2021 Pretty strong line up - not quite sure on where Kesler lines up. Returns for Walker (presumably at rb) and Onodi. I'll wildly guess at: ---------------------------------Onodi------------------------------------ Walker-----------Sylla--------------Bridge-----------Chrisene --------------------------------Bogarde--------------------------------- Kesler------------Ramsey-----------Sohna-----------------Farr ----------------------------------Barry------------------------------------ Good to see Seb Revan back on the bench - Chukwuemeka is on there too, I wonder if he's a recovering from CV one.

OutByEaster? Posted January 22, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 22, 2021 We've had a few chances already by the sound of things, one cleared off the line, a header just wide - sounds like a really bright start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted January 22, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 22, 2021 2-2 now - they'd gone 2-1 up but Barry has put another penalty away - I think that's 12 in 12 games for him now this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 22, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 22, 2021 Chukwuemeka came on at half time - it sounds like we dominated the opening half hour but it's much more of an even game now. Odds on a Barry hat-trick for the win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
