I was part of those in Canton.

Really proud of the response by the fans, and it will have helped him a lot.

Shows the power of fans support when a player as a problematic game.... he'll be more prepared and confident next start he makes...

He made an appearance against Cheltenham I think where he played in his no 6 position. He reminded me of that Chelsea player Makalee, spelling. Don't know but we just might have a gem on our hands here.

Yes I agree.

BBM said after Rotherham that he played him out of position because Bagan had been ill a couple of days before but Mafico was really "an elite number six."

We saw that against Cheltenham and I wouldn't be surprised if he played there again at Exeter.
