Play-off hopes take a blow as Mansfield ruin City comeback
DESPITE A TREMENDOUS second-half fightback, Exeter City were beaten by Mansfield Town at St James Park, leaving their play-off push looking a very steep task with three games left.
Ryan Tafazolli gave the visitors the lead before Malvind Benning doubled it in style, leaving City looking down and out. But they looked to have salvaged a point after Ollie Watkins and Christian Ribeiro (another screamer) drew them level. They were on terms for just three minutes, however; Tafazolli volleyed the winner with eight minutes...

With City’s eyes focused on the play-offs, Chris Wilder’s side proved a tough test for the Grecians, who did have the better of the chances in the match.
Good opportunities fell to Jayden Stockley and Jake Taylor, with the former crashing a header against the post in the second half, and Taylor failed to convert the...
Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale has urged his side not to get carried away despite an excellent run of form, that sees them just two points off of the Sky Bet League Two play offs.
Fresh from the Devon derby victory against Plymouth Argyle, that saw youngster Ollie Watkins take all of the plaudits, Tisdale though pleased with City's recent results is staying grounded.
He said: “The worry is that you finish the game as high as a kite, you think everything is great. The reality is we are in with a chance of the play offs. We’ve created an opportunity for ourselves and we...

"We are expecting a bumper crowd, and as a Force we are experienced in policing large scale sporting events such as this. We are looking forward to what should be a great occasion.”
Goals from Jake Taylor and Ollie Watkins made it four away wins on the spin and seven unbeaten for Exeter City as the Grecians battled to a 2-0 victory over Crawley Town at the Checkatrade.com Stadium.
Taylor’s goal in the twenty-eighth minute was the least that City had deserved after a rampant first-half display. The hosts came stronger in the second period with Bobby Olejnik called into action several times, but the Grecians weathered the storm before Watkins sealed the points with sixteen minutes remaining.
There were three changes to the City team that made it six...
