Another assist for the much maligned  Hourihane. 2 good corners.

In recent games Sibley has shown great ability at left back and done well in midfield. Great to see his  increased maturity and his eradication of the reckless fouls which were such a feature  of his play,  regularly costing us dangerous free kicks. He 's an important squad member and deserves a new contract.

You should trying selling your database ...... there must be some numbskulls out there who would buy it, who prefer pouring over the data to actually enjoying the football .
But you are being perverse in choosing to use "luck" to describe why our scores being different to the prediction. You fail to point out that both Barnsley and Bolton are "luckier" than us. You don't grasp that doing better than predicted by your statistics isn't necessarily down to luck. None of the Xg sites claims their models can take account of all the variables. If it was sunny tomorrow when the weather forecasters said it would rain we might feel  lucky ignoring that equally  the weather forecaster's model was not a perfect predictor.
Worst of all is you anti-Derby stance, since you wouldn't use such language  otherwise.
 

This is the key point. No need to refer to how Corey-Blackett. has done so far, that's not relevant. rather why prioritise another winger against the more urgent need for another forward ? Criminal negligence and a mistake we also made in the summer transfer window. Warne's words today included how important is having a Collins-like figure to lead the line owtte, so what are we supposed to do now?

They would be quite happy with  3 quality goals and a clean sheet

Football matches last the best part of 100 minutes. Our goals combined took about 8 seconds to score. 
 
It isn’t weird of fans to focus on the other 99 minutes of the match otherwise why not just switch on the highlights an hour after it’s finished? 
 
It’s frankly ridiculous to suggest they were doing pointless passes.
 
They were getting it through the lines well but didn’t have the quality to do anything with it.
 
Remember the difference in the first half is Max Bird wonderfully dribbling past 4 players before pinging it in from 20 yards. They crafted a well worked opportunity for a shot from 20 yards out and it came back off the post. 
 
I enjoyed the win but to say Exeter weren’t playing good football is just disingenuous. With better players that type of performance gives us a hell of a lot of problems. Luckily for us we have better players as you’d expect with our budget. 

Pathetic.. having a proper defensive  midfielder ( and such a skilfull one)  is what has given him more freedom.

Yes. Protect Adams from the ref.
