Match Preview: Exeter City vs Crawley Town

A look ahead to the clash with the Red Devils

EXETER CITY vs CRAWLEY TOWN
SKY BET LEAGUE 2
ST JAMES PARK
SATURDAY 14TH NOVEMBER 2015
KICK-OFF: 3:00PM

EXETER CITY return to Sky Bet League 2 action this weekend when Crawley Town visit St James Park.

Paul Tisdale's men are looking to carry their Emirates FA Cup performance over into this one, but will have to do without Manny Oyeleke, who had to come off against Didcot. Danny Butterfield, Christian Ribeiro, Craig Woodman and Lee Holmes are all in contention, but this one has come just too soon for captain Matt Oakley, who will hopefully be available for the trip to Plymouth Argyle next week.

Christy Pym is also unavailable after his finger operation this week, while Will Hoskins is not ready yet.

Mark Yates' Crawley have won five of their last seven in the league, and are looking to ascend the table after a disappointing start to the season since coming down from League 1 last year.




You can pay on the gate to see City take on the Red Devils at St James Park. Hope to see you all there!

"I'm not unhappy with where we are in the table, but I would have expected and hoped to be a little higher than we are. I'm not overly worried about it, because I think that we've got the capability to rise out of that pack and into the play-off hunt at the very least. There's plenty of time to do it, but we have to do it at some point." - Paul Tisdale
