Exeter City suffer 3-0 derby defeat

Two goals in the first half from Harvey and Reid, and a follow-up by Nelson in the second saw Argyle the victors in the much-anticipated Devon derby.

Exeter City were unable to get on the score sheet as a composed Argyle took the full sum of the points at Home Park this afternoon.

The game also saw the appearance of new signing Graham Cummins in his first competitive fixture for City. Following the lifting of the transfer embargo yesterday, Paul Tisdale didn’t hesitate in completing his first piece of business. Striker Cummins started amongst the substitutes on the away...

Sam Parkin, John O’Flynn, Alan Gow, Elliott Chamberlain, Jacob Jagger Cane and Jacob Wannell have not been offered new contracts with the club. This is in addition to Artur Krysiak, whose release was announced on Thursday morning.

Matt Oakley, Matt Gill, Eliot Richards, Jimmy Keohane, Christy Pym and James Hamon will be made offers with the intention of keeping them at the club. Discussions are currently ongoing with Arron Davies and Jake Gosling with news still to follow...

Gow to stay at Rovers, will Richards be staying at City?

It was confirmed on the 8th February that Bristol Rovers had signed City's top scorer Alan Gow on loan for the rest of the season, in a loan swap deal that saw 22-year-old Eliot Richards switching the other way. At the time there was speculation that this was down to Exeter City's finances and that they couldn't afford to keep Gow, so they had to settle for the young Richards.

Both players contracts are up at the end of the season and the latest news from Bristol, despite the fact the Scot is now out injured until the end of the season, is that John Ward wants to...

Preview - Plymouth Argyle v Exeter City

This time last season when these two sides met on the 30th March at Home Park it was the Green half of Devon who claimed the bragging rights after beating the Grecians by a goal to nil. At that time it was roles reversed in the league as City were in the play off pack and Argyle were amongst the relegation candidates. It is completely the opposite now as Exeter sit 17th and their neighbours in 9th.

The city faithful will go into this derby fixture buoyed by their teams battering of the Cod army (Fleetwood) 3-0 on Saturday. Even so,...
