Next Up: Exeter City vs Portsmouth

After a poor run culminating in the 4-1 humiliation by Oxford, a win is a win is a win, and even if it was by all accounts somewhat undeserved the 2-0 victory at Stevenage on Saturday will have done City’s confidence the power of good going into yet another midweek fixture against a side with arguably more to play for, …

If the celebration of Paul Tisdale’s 500th game could be likened to a birthday party, it was one where the venue forgot to order any food, a fight broke out and the birthday boy caught his other half in flagrante with his best mate.

Tisdale’s 500: From Despair to Where?

The 2013/14 season saw City have to pare the squad down slightly due to cost-cutting, meaning no room for the impressive Kevin Amankwaah, while Jamie Cureton was gone too.

Having faced the likes of Tamworth, Grays and Stafford in the Conference years, the fixture computer gave City potentially their biggest ever Football League away day with a trip to Leeds. So, for the second …

Tisdale’s 500: Two in Two

With City back in the Football League, it was difficult to know what to expect from the Grecians’ first season back where they felt they belonged. It was a surprisingly quiet summer on the transfer front as Paul Tisdale mainly kept faith with the players who had got City promoted, with a couple of surprise releases particularly with respect to …

Tisdale’s 500: The Conference Years

When Alex Inglethorpe quit City at the end of the 2005/6 season to take up a youth position at Tottenham, there were three candidates identified for his replacement. One was Jimmy Quinn, who a couple of seasons previously had taken Shrewsbury back into the Football League. The next was Shaun Taylor, one for whom the overused epithet “club legend” could …
