Lots of people saying Exeter were dire - they were last night - but they had 20 odd shots on Saturday against Wigan so maybe we made them look dire? 
A similar side to us in many ways, I thought. They wanted to play football, not very physical (although a couple of their subs were solid units, they were warming up down in our corner!) 
We showed greater desire than them last night, with our players chasing down every loose ball. 
Two big differences for me last night - Waggy's hold up play and a balanced midfield. NML worked so hard, Bird ran the show, and Hourihane mopped up. 
Shout out to Fozzy, who played a key pass in both goals. Where he finds the energy from I don't know, but he's definitely taken over the Mr Derby County role from Curtis Davies with some style. 
Appreciated a referee who largely let the game flow, helped by two sides who weren't more intent on fouling than playing the ball. It's a shame that the lino got the offside wrong because a 3-0 scoreline would have been a better reflection of the game and give more confidence going into Saturday, which I expect will be much more attritional than last night.
COYR! 

Agree Angie, I thought Sibley did ok tonight. Nothing flashy but he worked hard and made it possible for Bird to push on. He was solid and did a shift for the team.
 

He also put in a shift covering across to allow Bird the freedom he had tonight. It's not just about what he does on the ball, it's out of possession too. And he's doing this off the back of no pre-season at all.

I wouldn't have given it. But softer ones given against us! 

@Owen87ITK proving he is true Ram - on 85th minute and 2-0 up as we take a free kick - "this to make sure"

They can only beat who they are playing. Doesnt matter anyway - will hopefully build confidence and its what we needed at home. 
Good performance and more as I expected how PW wanted us to play

Think they said 24 something

Good win.
Exeter weren't the greatest but you can only beat what's put up Infront of you and we did that with very few alarms

Feels more positive intent with him starting rather than Collins.

Some of Wags positioning and touches/short passes to team mates have been very good. He’s dramatically helped our threat in the final third.

Looks like Sibs has zero confidence, hoping the lad gets a goal

Max Bird absolutely running the show

That touch from Fozzy in the build up is filth 

Beautifully worked goal. Keep it up boys

Compare that NML peno claim to that idiots peno award at the weekend and you can see why people say there’s a vendetta 

Sorry whingers…..bl@@by predictive text.

Have never booed our team or staff - really dont understand what fans think it will achieve. Also if PW goes how would it help attract the next victim?

Yep, That ended well didn't it 😉
