On the other hand he played one really nice disguised angled ball from about 40 yards out to the edge of his opponents penalty area, which did cause problems and needed defending, it was a little flash of vision.
He lost all 3 arial duels I saw him go for though, but made one very nice late run arriving for a pullback which didnt come from Lee Hughes, who had it made clear to him that he should have passed, this was noticable in his game, he was talking to those round him a lot, good to see.
We will see if he starts the next game, his side went two down soon after he joined the action and had been poor all day.
John O'Flynn played for Exeter and put in a shift, in the chanells mostly without any real clear sights of goal, except one, which was parried and led to a goal for his side.
