Tis: It’s hard to argue with it

Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale says he has no complaints after referee Brett Huxtable abandoned the Boxing Day fixture with Forest Green Rovers.

The sides played out a goalless first half in difficult conditions with the ball often unable to roll without being caught up in the surface water caused by heavy rain.

And for safety reasons, the referee decided that match should be abandoned and played at a later date.

Asked if he could have any arguments about Huxtable’s decision, Tis said: “No, not at all. He has to make his decision, and he made it. It’s hard to...

City fall to defeat at Huish Park

Exeter City fell to a 3-1 defeat away from home against Yeovil Town at Huish Park in Sky Bet League Two.

A first half goal from Jake Gray gave the home side the lead before Francois Zoko struck to put the Glovers further ahead.

Jayden Stockley then pulled one back for City, but a Sam Surridge penalty confirmed the win for the Glovers as City slipped to another defeat on the road.

Paul Tisdale named the same side that started the 2-1 win over Stevenage last weekend at St James Park, with the Grecians looking to get back to winning ways on the road.

City 2 Stevenage 1

Exeter City moved back up into the automatic promotion places as they recorded a 2-1 victory at home to Stevenage.

The Grecians were the better side for the majority of the match and deservedly led 2-0 midway through the second half through goals from Lloyd James and Pierce Sweeney, but the visitors kept battling and set up a nervy finish with a volley from Matt Godden 11 minutes from time.

City beaten in Essex

Exeter City fell to a 3-1 defeat away to Colchester United in Sky Bet League Two.

Two first-half goals from Sammie Szmodics and an own goal in the first-half was enough to take the match away from City who did pull one back through Jayden Stockley in the second-half, but it wasn't enough despite creating a host of chances later in the match.

City out of Checkatrade Trophy

Exeter City crashed out of the Checkatrade Trophy with a 3-1 defeat at home to Chelsea under-21's.

Despite an early goal from Reuben Reid, the Grecians were pegged back by the blues' youngsters who levelled through Callum Hudson-Odoi, before Reece James and Josh Grant sealed the win for the away side. City boss Paul Tisdale rang the changes for the Grecians in a competition where he has frequently given fringe players opportunities to impress. In fact, Kane Wilson was the only starter from City’s 2-0 win over Accrington Stanley at the weekend that retained their place in the...
