Exeter City youngster Jake Gosling has had his loan spell with Dorchester Town extended until Saturday 5th January 2013.

The 19-year-old originally joined the Blue Square Bet South side on an initial one-month loan deal at the beginning of September. The deal was extended at the beginning of last month, just in time for him to feature in the FA Cup fixture against Plymouth Argyle, where he scored the game’s only goal.

His cup run with the Magpies was ended by a 2-1 loss at Luton Town yesterday, but another month with the Dorset side gives the striker another nine...

Ian Sharps’ first-half header was enough to give Rotherham a win against Exeter at St James’ Park. The defender met Ben Pringle’s corner at the end of the first half to score what proved the game’s only goal. Substitute Mitchell Rose was dismissed for the visitors shortly before full-time but it made little difference as the Millers held out to win.

The Grecians made a single enforced change to the starting line-up following their win on the road at Gillingham, as Craig Woodman was replaced by Jordan Moore-Taylor in the left-back position.

Grecians boss Paul Tisdale was understandably delighted with an away win at npower League Two leaders Gillingham.

In a see-saw fixture, City had to battle back from conceding an early goal to eventually triumph against a Martin Allen side that has been lauded for its resilience this year. And the Exeter manager was pleased with all aspects of the performance, including his players’ liveliness with the ball and their resistance without it.

Tis said: “To go a goal down in the first five minutes and come back as we did – we were really tough, creative and ballsy. A fantastic...

A third goal in as many games for Jamie Cureton gave the Grecians a win on the road against Bradford City.

Exeter took the lead at the end of the first half through Cureton, and a solid display under increasing pressure in the second half sent the travelling fans back home happy.

Grecians boss Paul Tisdale named a third consecutive unchanged starting line-up, with the only change to the bench being the return of Guillem Bauza in place of Tom Nichols.

Bradford meanwhile had to make a number of changes owing to injuries, including a debut for right-back Tom Naylor...

City manager Paul Tisdale believes that two good results at St James’ Park in quick succession have given the Grecians some momentum ahead of two tough away trips to Bradford and Gillingham.

Exeter beat AFC Wimbledon 2-0 last Tuesday before pegging back high-flying Fleetwood Town to earn a draw on Saturday. Journeys to Yorkshire and Kent face two in-form teams in quick succession looks a daunting prospect, but the Grecians’ boss believes that shaking off a barren run of results has given the side a good base to work from. “We made improvements, and I really liked the way we played...
