To be fair, our first half performance was where this game was lost.

Well... Not sure where to start, I've a migraine and need sleep.
Our defence isn't great, it's constantly undone by balls through channels and crosses, we need an experienced centre back to stabilise it or our season is going nowhere.
I'm not sure what's happened to Evans, is the difference between L1 and L2 so great that a decent looking player in L1 look less than ordinary in L2. Is his confidence shot to pieces. Before today's game I thought that maybe we were playing him to deep, but with today's lineup there is no way he was playing deep, but he ended up doing that as he just get on the front foot. We were practically playing with 10 in the 1st half.
As for Belshaw, he's not been great this season, I'm a bit fed up with hearing how good he is, hes cost us a fair few goals this season and dreadful today. And please don't bother with thev"great save" argument, that's his job, nice that he died it now and then.
Transfer window: Experienced CB. Creative midfielder.
Oh and a left back as Gordon can't defend for toffee.

Couldn’t get there tonight so watched on ifollow. Their fourth was the second time Belshaw has done that against Exeter this season. He’s becoming a bit of a clown believing his own self made legend. 4 points squandered due to his dreadful mistakes. Great saves made without any doubt throughout the season so far, between the sticks not charging out of his area. A firing Marquis left out for a returning Loft, why?, Barton has too many players he’s trying to please, it can’t be done if consistency is the aim. Our upturn in form last season was in no small part due to having a settled 1st eleven that blended into a solid style of play. Barton is still in a steep learning curve, swapping players around and pissing about with different systems may work at the higher levels he’s used to, it doesn’t in this league as Wycombe effectively demonstrated last Monday. Back to basics analysing what worked in our good run, clearly three at the back, and settle on a consistent starting eleven, regardless of the bleating of those that aren’t in it.

Belshaw plays the way which Barton wants him to, as it fits in with JB's system. There will always be a few times a season where he gets caught out - otherwise he'd be playing in the Championship. I certainly don't see him as the type of player who is a clown, or "believes his own self-made legend". 4 points "squandered due to his dreadful mistakes" - what about the points we've won, both last season and this, due to his outstanding saves? Barton is still learning. He got it wrong first half, and made the necessary changes at half-time, unfortunately a mad, final 5 minutes cost us the points.

"Barton is still learning". Well, that's a relief after 40 years of blaming all and sundry. He obviously has no faith in his defence or he wouldn't have told them to push up for a fourth after we'd gone 3-2 up with 20 minutes left. A back line almost halfway up the field, a simple lob over the top and Belshaw-Becker has a rush of blood to the head. Of course, Barton could have been trying to rub it in true bully style, who knows. He couldn't blame the ref this time though that's for sure.

Just got back .. Went in the rain, got back in the rain. What a great evenings entertainment! You pay your money and there can't be anyone whom left the Mem unsatisfied their monies hadn't given them a spectacle of mistakes, sheer wonder, good football, in parts a great atmo and a match that both teams wanted to win - and could've. It kinda summed up our 2022, only this time we fell foul of shooting ourselves in the foot and it didn't end kindly. My m o m Aaza that quite literally could have had a hat trick and still ended up on losing side. It's all been said before, but I'd just like to add he plays his football with such aloof he makes it look easy at times. He's got goals and set ups coming out of his assists.. Obvious elephant hero to zero was our Keeps....but everyone knows that and I'm gonna swim against the tide and stick up for him last night. His credit put into the club far outweighs his debit by mistakes. The defence in front of him was more rickety than Shaun Ricketts or any affliction of the high seas in Napoleonic times. The planets were in alignment, unless you're a flat Earther...you'd be talking Earther Kitt.. www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-64082159#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=16723823127763&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.com%2Fnews%2Fscience-environment-64082159 (thanks to my old school mate chum there, Dr Robert Massey, whom I shared brief debut working jobs with, and both discovered the fruits of life as a growing teenager circa 1984/5 discovering the perils of alcohol and girls at a few southmead parties in the same era ... The girls were more perilous, I can tell thee!) I digress.. His enthusiasm to make amends, cause effect was his downfall. I'm sorry for him that I felt he was partially or fully responsible for all the goals conceded last night, but before the ball got anywhere near him, we had made mistakes leading up to that scenario. I'll not knock anyone for trying, on the night we lacked quality and mostly made the wrong decision when it came to the last ball (that was usually pumped up to the two big ones). Lofty, nice to see you back...worked hard, put in a shift, not his night. Scott Sinclair input being played in his more familiar role had immediate impact! Who'd have thought it? Goal and assist!? He's not a wb. Coutts tried but seems to have lost half a yard of pace. Gibson top of the defence for me. A couple of stray passes to fit in with his teammates, but otherwise solid. Connolly why didn't he start? We could see when he came on....first 3 passes hospital balls and no where near his man for their equalising 3rd goal. Gordon just fails at the last hurdle for me. Willing him to go on. Willing him to go past his man. Willing him to do well...he does in inside and back is your thing. Hoole, not your night me ole mate but there'll be many others to shine in. Finley. For me desperate misses his mate Leonard Rossiter. What an injury in what an inane competition to befall him? Finley form mightily affected, plus losing captaincy too means for me he hasn't hit the heights of pre Ross form. I thought Exeter were one of the best teams I've seen at nullifying us this season at Mem. They held their shape off the ball in a disciplined manner, well organised and soaked up 5 or 6 bookings and us taking the lead didn't phase them. Fair play, on the night they shaded the rights to a win, and missed a few sitters themselves, and hit the bar on an offside that wasn't given. And, in the spirit of school boy football next goal wins, they did. JAB got the starting line up wrong and made effective change in second that nearly stole the show. Exeter were quick to react and held their nerve. It was an interesting encounter and almost worked but well done everyone including an infuriating ref for delivering a night of exhilaration and (at times) seasonal pantomime show.. Well, you've had science and nature wrapped up with a bit of history and nostalgia with a touch of showbiz and weather! What more would you like? Merry New Year, Gas..... wherever you are.

Just looked at the goals, Belshaw to blame for all 4. Invited the 1st by being way off his line, 2nd no dive, although due to being unsighted, 3rd played the ball to their midfielder, 4th obvious.
