Tis looking for an improvement from his back line today

Grecians manager Paul Tisdale will be looking for his players to improve their defensive performance against Chesterfield on Saturday. (3pm)

Tisdale has made a point about focusing on the sides defensive responsibilities in this week’s training following last weekend's 3-0 defeat to Northampton and Tisdale is hoping to see a marked improvement on Saturday.

The City manager said: “It’s something we do weekly anyway but I suppose its had a bit more of an emphasis and a focus, there are so many things to work on each week, you can't work on them all but defending its quite a large topic.

“They all know that I am looking at that (defending) much more closely than I am normally, the players know that I’m not happy that we have conceded too many goals lately.”

With City facing Dagenham and Redbridge away on Tuesday followed by a trip to Cheltenham next Saturday and another game at home to AFC Wimbledon the following Tuesday it represents a fortnight of significant importance at this stage of the season.
