Tis disappointed by second half display

Following the 2-0 defeat at the hands of Morecambe, Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale was left disappointed with the second-half showing of his team.

Goalless at the break, the Grecians conceded moments after the restart to a Kevin Ellison header. City had looked the more commanding of the two teams in the first half but were unable to truly put themselves back into the ascendency after conceding.

“It was a very competent first half, and a poor second half,” said Tis. “I look back now and wish we had taken one of the earlier chances. As a manager you have to trust your players – we were making good chances and playing particularly well.

“We had three or four really good chances in the first half – I’m not going to show frustration at the players [for not taking them] because they want to score. Some days they don’t go in, and a goal can change the complexion of the game and it certainly did today.”
