Bauza goes close but Exeter City suffer another defeat

Exeter City’s poor run of results continued as they suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Chesterfield. In a close game a first-half header by Chris Atkinson was enough to claim all three points for the visitors at St James Park. Both sides wasted a host chances with Ci´ty going close late-on in the second-half through Guillem Bauza and Scott Bennett. The visitors had goalkeeper Richard O’Donnell to thank after the keeper produced a series of fine saves to earn Chesterfield all 3 points.

City manager Paul Tisdale made a host of changes from the 3-0 defeat to Northampton last Saturday. In goal Polish goalkeeper Artur Krysiak replaced former England Under 21 international Rhys Evans. Experienced left-back Craig Woodman made way for young full-back Jordan Moore-Taylor. In midfield Liam Sercombe came in from the bench to start on the right side of midfield. Tommy Doherty also moved into the starting line-up with Kevin Amankwaah dropping to the bench. A switch in the midfield saw Scot Bennett drop into the centre of defence at the expense of Pat Baldwin.  Despite making a second-half appearance against Northampton, striker Alan Gow did not make the squad due to a thigh injury.
