Exeter City FC

Exeter City will be looking to bounce back from defeat when they travel to Cheltenham Town in Sky Bet League Two.

City fell to a 4-1 loss at home to Mansfield Town last time out, but manager Matt Taylor says his side are determined to put things right.

The City boss said: “The lads are hungry to get back on the pitch and show that they’re better players than they showed last weekend. The lads didn’t need picking up on Monday morning, they came in with the right attitude which is what you want as a manager.

“They want to put it right, they know they weren’t good enough last weekend, and we’re bitterly disappointed with the result, but hopefully it was just a blip after two good performances. We’re looking forward to the game this weekend.” 

LAST TIME WE MET

The side last met back in September when the Grecians recorded a 3-1 win at St James Park as they came from behind with goals from Pierce Sweeney, Jayden Stockley and Jonathan Forte- who netted the 1000th Exeter City league goal under Trust ownership.
