Think you’ve got to put their comments down to their current position. Exeter’s performances have ranged from the dire to the very good and sometimes from game to game

Their fans have learned like we did in our Barracelona period that at this level out playing the opposition doesn’t necessarily win you games. Cambridge fell into that trap at the weekend.and tried to play Exeter at their own game. There was no way we were ever going to go head to head with them.

They put it down to spoiling tactics on our part. However I thought we just shut down the space for their forwards to run into. This forced them to change their shape at HT and they never really adjusted.

Rob Kelly had his playing career cut short.

In 1989, Kelly was forced to retire aged just 24 after sustaining a back injury, and initially took the job of youth team coach at Wolverhampton Wanderers. He then trained as a journalist at the Wolverhampton Express & Star, before returning to football again, first back in the Wolverhampton Wanderers coaching set-up.

Back in his Wolves playing days, late 1980s.
