Exeter City twice came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw with high-flying Fleetwood Town in an open encounter at St James’ Park.
Steve McNulty’s header gave the visitors a lead before Jamie Cureton finished off a neat move. The Trawlermen went into the break ahead thanks to Nicholson’s firm finish, but a second-half spot-kick by John O’Flynn earned the Grecians a point.
Paul Tisdale named an unchanged starting line-up after the Grecians’ midweek victory against AFC Wimbledon. The newly-promoted Lancashire side, placed fourth before kick-off, boasted former Premier League...
Exeter City put an end to a disappointing run of results with a 2-0 win over visitors AFC Wimbledon. Veteran Jamie Cureton opened the scoring for City with a composed finish just after the half-hour mark, and John O’Flynn sealed the victory with a low drive 20 minutes from time. AFC Wimbledon rallied in the second half but City’s dominance was reflected in the result. City manager Paul Tisdale made just a single change to the starting XI after the weekend’s FA Cup tie against Bury. Amankwaah took a seat on the bench with Steve Tully slotting in at right-back, while John O’Flynn made his...
City made two changes after last week's 3-0 defeat at Cheltenham. Pat Baldwin came in to form a back three alongside Coles and Amankwaah and Alan Gow started in partnership with Jamie Cureton up front. Arron Davies missed out through injury and Jimmy Keohane dropped to the bench. The new 3-5-1-1 formation allowed Scot Bennett to return to midfield.
The home side started with intent and David Healy’s early cross went all the way across the Exeter box. Dominic Poleon had plenty of time at the far post but shot first time and hit the bar.
Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale says he has a lot of thinking to do after watching his side crash to another defeat.
The Grecians shipped three goals against Cheltenham and the manager made clear his frustration following the 3-0 result.
He told BBC Sport: "At the end of the game we played enough football to have scored a goal but if we can't defend at the crucial moments, which we didn't today then we put pressure on ourselves to score.
"I'm just very disappointed because I can see the level of play we have in the team but we've just not managed to perform at the...
Exeter City captain Danny Coles has signed a new long-term contract with the club.
Coles joined Exeter in the summer of 2011 and has played 51 games for City, scoring three goals.
He made his Grecians debut on the opening day of the 2011/12 season against Stevenage and went on to make 31 league and cup games, performing very consistently throughout. His season was cut short when he was involved in a collision with goalkeeper Artur Krysiak during training, resulting in a serious spinal injury.
Everyone at Exeter City Football Club is looking forward...
Sunday morning and I’ve treated myself to breakfast out. Scrambled eggs on toast, coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice. I am listening to my favourite songs and people watching – things I love doing. In the last 24 hours I have bought ridiculous amounts of chocolate, drunk wine and had a long soak in a bath. All telltale signs that I am not in the happiest of moods. So what has caused that? One word – football. Let me explain.
It all started with a trip to Highbury to watch Arsenal when I was a kid. I couldn’t tell you who they played, the score or who won. The vivid...
Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale is determined to put right the Grecians home form after seeing his side lose 1-0 at home to Chesterfield on Saturday. A first-half header by Chris Atkinson was enough to secure the visitors the points and leave the Grecians without a victory in 3 home games.
The Grecians boss said: “We were not good enough... it wasn’t a good enough performance and it was a bit confused.
“Our direction wasn’t cohesive we didn’t have that common direction with our play.
“There wasn’t a lack of honesty or will, those things can be questioned when you...
Former England goalkeeper David James, who has been training with Exeter City, says the row over racism in football has not been helped by the FA's slowness to respond to the John Terry case.
The debate was intensified over the weekend when Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand was among a number of players who did not wear a campaign T-shirt in the warm-up against Stoke.
However, Professional Footballers' Association chairman Clarke Carlisle has defended the protest against the Kick It Out anti-racism campaign.
Exeter City’s poor run of results continued as they suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Chesterfield. In a close game a first-half header by Chris Atkinson was enough to claim all three points for the visitors at St James Park. Both sides wasted a host chances with Ci´ty going close late-on in the second-half through Guillem Bauza and Scott Bennett. The visitors had goalkeeper Richard O’Donnell to thank after the keeper produced a series of fine saves to earn Chesterfield all 3 points.
City manager Paul Tisdale made a host of changes from the 3-0 defeat to Northampton last Saturday....
