After City's 2-1 defeat against Barnsley at SJP on Saturday, Gary Caldwell shared his thoughts.

The Grecians took an early lead through Josh Magennis' free-kick, however two goals at the start of the start of the second half turned the game on its head for a disappointing afternoon. 

"It's another disappointing result after starting the game so well. We should have been more in front but lost our shape too easily."
Gary Caldwell

"I thought we had got away with it getting in at half-time and being able to tweak things and get more pressure on the ball.

"We waited for them to score, and then score again. I thought the finishers were excellent and added to the team but we're chasing the game we should never have been chasing.

"We need to wake up as a team. We keep shooting ourselves in the foot. All of us, staff, players, need to take a look at ourselves because we need to do so much more. We were very much in that game and we have to step up. 

"There is lots to consider for the next game."
