Exeter City continue to struggle

Report: Rochdale 3 Exeter City 1

Exeter City fell to defeat at the hands of Rochdale, who were 3-1 winners at Spotland in Sky Bet League 2.

The Grecians would have felt aggrieved to have gone into the interval trailing as a Michael Rose free-kick was the difference, but Alan Gow drew the sides level within seconds of the restart.

However second-half goals by Graham Cummins and Andrew Tutte confirmed victory for Dale and condemned the Grecians to a long journey back to the West Country.

Grecians manager Paul Tisdale made two changes to the starting XI...

Exeter City 0 Southend Utd 2

Exeter City fell to their fourth-consecutive defeat in all competitions as they disappointingly went down by a 2-0 scoreline at home to Southend United.

Goals from Cauley Woodrow and Kevan Hurst were the difference at SJP as the Grecians dropped to tenth in the League 2 ladder.

The Shrimpers had won each of their previous two fixtures by three goals to nil, with a home win over Mansfield and an FA Cup victory at Morecambe Phil Brown’s side’s two results in the month of November so far.

Exeter City fall in the first round of the FA cup

Report: Peterborough 2 Exeter City 0

Exeter City’s FA Cup campaign was ended for another season at the hands of Peterborough United, who were 2-0 victors at London Road.

City were good with and without the ball, but two goals in the space of seven minutes by Britt Assombalonga and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing sealed a Posh win.

The Grecians were creative and dynamic with the ball but couldn’t quite dissect through the home defence, and Peterborough had the killer instinct to pick off City when the chances came.

Alan Gow was the most notable absentee for the...

City come close cheered on by 1300 travelling fans

Report: Portsmouth 3 Exeter City 2

Exeter City were on the wrong end of a 3-2 scoreline in their first visit to Fratton Park for over 30 years. Something of a freak goal just before the interval by Ricky Holmes was followed by a Ryan Bird brace, as the game seemed to be running away from City. The Grecians made a spirited fightback with goals from Danny Coles and John O’Flynn, but ultimately it wasn’t quite enough as the hosts saw out the late City onslaught to keep all three points. By the end, the home faithful were whistling for full-time as City had piled bodies forward, but...

Agony for City as point is snatched at the death

After two strong away results in the last seven days, Exeter City saw a point snatched away at the death as Burton Albion left it late to grab the winner at St James Park.

The Brewers had an abundance of corners throughout the match, but left it until the last of their 14 corners to finally penetrate the City defence, as Phil Edwards powered home an 89th-minute header.

Today’s fixture marked the One Game One Community promotion of female participation in football, and there were several local Women and Girls football teams at SJP watching the match, including Moors Youth...

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 climb up the table after impressive away win

Following City’s 4-0 victory away in Scunthorpe, Exeter manager Paul Tisdale was pleased with the result and the performance of his team as the Grecians went level on points with the division’s leaders Chesterfield.

He also conceded that the result didn’t reflect well on the home side, who had attacked with intent and purpose throughout the fixture.

Resolute defending was a must from Tis’s men, and a manful defensive display ensured the Grecians came away with no additional goals in the ‘conceded’ column in the Sky Bet League 2 table.

It was that defensive solidity...

Report: Exeter City 0 Hartlepool 3

Exeter City were on the receiving end of a 3-0 defeat, as rampant Hartlepool registered their third away win in a week.

Both sides went in on the back of two wins, but it was the visitors that left happiest on their 350-mile journey back to the north-east.

City came under a lot of pressure in the first half and Pools went into the break a goal ahead, thanks to a Jack Baldwin header.

The game was put out of sight by Pools after the interval, as Luke James and Jack Compton both finished smartly to put City to the sword....
