Exeter City 0 Luton Town 0: Match report

Exeter City came within inches of victory at home to Luton Town but had to settle for a 0-0 draw.

It was a game of limited chances throughout the 90 minutes, but Ollie Watkins came closest to getting the breakthrough as his volley cannoned off the crossbar.

City manager Paul Tisdale welcomed back Troy Brown to the starting line-up for the first time since August 27. The 26-year-old defender played the last 25 minutes of last Saturday’s defeat to Carlisle United but had spent two-and-half-months out injured prior to that.

There was also a place on the bench for Ryan...

Nothing is as irritating in football than ignorance and it comes from all angles relentlessly. If you consider the FA Cup as a prime example; fans, pundits, experts and bookmakers alike always write off the chances of the teams from the lower leagues and yet they are proven wrong time after time.

The most recent example of a lower league side upsetting the form guide has to be, at the time, League Two, Bradford City making it to the 2013 League Cup final against Swansea City. The Bantams saw off three Premier League sides on the way to the final (Wigan, Arsenal and Aston Villa) to...

Rob Baxter’s side claimed their first top flight win since late September when they triumphed 32-19 at Kingston Park last Friday. Summer signing Devoto set the ball rolling for the visitors, scoring his maiden try for the Chiefs inside the opening few minutes, before team-mates Thomas Waldrom, James Short and Will Chudley followed him over the whitewash.

Tis unhappy with officials

Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale said he felt his side were hard done to on Saturday as a dubious offside flag cost them at Carlisle United.

The Grecians fell to a 3-2 loss at Brunton Park with goals from Shaun Miller, in the 89th minute, and Charlie Wyke, in the seventh minute of stoppage time, giving the Cumbrians all three points.

However, City had a glorious chance to take all three points when the scores were level at 2-2. Carlisle had set up in a 2-4-4 formation at this point as they looked for a stoppage time winner.

And their gung-ho approach almost cost...
