Exeter City's wait for a win goes on

Match report: Exeter City 1 York City 1

Exeter City and York City played out a 1-1 draw at St James Park, as the wait for the first win of 2014/15 continued for both sides.

The teams were level for just seven minutes, before David Wheeler rose brilliantly above marker Femi Ilesanmi to head home Matt Oakley’s delivery from deep.

However it was centre-half Keith Lowe that earned York’s equaliser, heading in a swinging corner from Luke Summerfield with ten minutes left on the clock.

Exeter had to defend solidly throughout but also created chances to win the...

Exeter City earn a creditable draw

Report: Newport 1 Exeter City 1

Exeter City earned a creditable draw from their trip to South Wales as their trip to Newport County AFC ended 1-1.

City had gone ahead shortly after the interval when Exiles defender Harry Worley turned Tom Nichols’ cross into his own net, but Lee Minshull forced the ball over the line from a corner just a minute later.

And ultimately a toughly-contested battle ended honours-even as all other chances went begging before the referee sounded the final whistle.

Manager Paul Tisdale made three City changes for the visit to Rodney...

Exeter City come from behind to earn a much needed point

Report: Exeter City 2 Dag & Red 2

A goal deep, deep into stoppage time by Eliot Richards earned Exeter City a 2-2 draw at home against Dagenham & Redbridge.

The Grecians had gone ahead in the first half through Tom Nichols, but a fine strike by Luke Norris got the visitors on terms in the second period.

Dagenham went ahead through what appeared to be a soft penalty, as Medy Elito slotted in after Brian Saah was judged to have been fouled, by Richards rescued a point with virtually the last kick of the game.

After impressing in midweek for the under-...

Another Draw for the Grecians

Report: Burton Albion 1 Exeter City 1 Exeter City and Burton Albion shared the points with a 1-1 draw at the Pirelli Stadium, in an entertaining game on a difficult surface.

Both goals came within a three-minute period in the second half – and the opener came in familiar fashion for both teams. Burton, who had turned in two own-goals the previous weekend, did the same again as Ian Sharps put the ball into his own net after stopper Dean Lyness failed to hold a rocketed effort by John O’Flynn. It was the third time in four games that City had gone ahead courtesy of an opponent...

Exeter City v Oxford match report

Report: Exeter City 0 Oxford Utd 0

For the second time this season, Exeter City and Oxford United played out a goalless stalemate as defences came out on top in a 0-0 at St James Park.

Chances came and went at both ends – no better than a late header from Danny Coles in front of the Big Bank which was unfathomably saved – but neither team could burst the net.

For City, it was a much-needed clean-sheet but disappointingly it ended all-square with some inspirational goalkeeping from Ryan Clarke and some wayward shooting.

The big news for the Grecians ahead of...

Exeter City earn a valuable point at Oxford

Report: Oxford United 0 Exeter City 0

Exeter City and Oxford United played out an entertaining goalless draw at the Kassam Stadium, with veteran striker David Kitson sent off in stoppage time for the hosts. For the first time this season, Paul Tisdale named a completely unchanged line-up as the previous game. Following the win on Saturday against Scunthorpe, an identical matchday squad and starting XI were named for the Tuesday-night trip to the Kassam Stadium.

And a day that had been mild and fresh in Oxford turned violently thunderous just as the players were limbering up...

Exeter City under 18's fight back against Man City

Exeter City’s under-18 side came from two goals down to earn an excellent 2-2 draw against their counterparts from Man City.

548 fans were in St James Park to witness a great fightback and a thoroughly entertaining spectacle, which will have alerted many to the talent in the City Academy.

The visitors were a goal up at the interval as Connor Riley-Lowe was unlucky to deflect a corner into his own net. Dom McHale doubled the lead in the second half with a neat finish from a tight angle.

But two goals within a minute from Charlie Madden and Joe Charles put the...

Report: AFC Wimbledon 2 Exeter City 2

Two goals on his full debut by Jamie Reid helped Exeter to a 2-2 draw away to AFC Wimbledon in front of a record crowd at Kingsmeadow.

The Grecians twice went ahead through the youngster, but Luke Moore brought the hosts level on both occasions as the game ended all-square.

Reid’s first came deep into the first half as he smashed in from the edge of the area, but Luke Moore had the Dons level with a similar strike early in the second period. It sparked off a feast of goalmouth action as Reid netted another with a shot across the...

Exeter City and Fleetwood Town played out a thoroughly entertaining 0-0 draw at Highbury Stadium.

The scoreline didn’t reflect the amount of chances that either side created, with both teams having opportunities to take the victory.

One of the best openings for City came deep into stoppage time in the second half, as Danny Coles couldn’t get over a loose ball and saw his effort clear the bar – but the teams both merited a point from the clash in Lancashire.

There were two changes to Paul Tisdale’s starting XI after the midweek fixture against Bristol Rovers. A back...

Exeter City boss Paul Tisdale was pleased with his side’s battling qualities after a goalless draw against Aldershot on Saturday afternoon.

On a pitch that had suffered in the winter months, the playing surface wasn’t ideal for a free-flowing game and that hampered City’s opportunities to pass the ball around on the deck. And with the Grecians kicking towards the Away Terrace in the first half – with the sun glaring into their eyes when they attacked – the environment didn’t favour City in the opening period. “It was incredibly difficult conditions, we played against 11 very tough...
