Squad31 Dec 2029

Taye Ashby-Hammond keeps Exeter City in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad31 Dec 2029

A falling-out at Exeter City

Duván Riascos and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match29 Dec 2029

A bad afternoon for Exeter City against Wigan Athletic

1‑2 to Wigan Athletic, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout31 Dec 2029

No hiding place for Taye Ashby-Hammond

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Taye Ashby-Hammond, and the manager let it.

Match25 Dec 2029

Exeter City get the job done against Milton Keynes Dons

A 1‑0 win over Milton Keynes Dons, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad31 Dec 2029

Taye Ashby-Hammond makes it 50 clean sheets

50 shut-outs in 289 appearances. A keeper’s career is counted in games where nothing happened, and none of it happened by accident.

Player ratings31 Dec 2029

Ninety minutes of Duván Riascos at his very best

Marked 8.02. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Exeter City.

Squad31 Dec 2029

Percy Baker out for 23 days

The medical room confirms 23 days on the sidelines for Percy Baker, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Match31 Dec 2029

Halfway: Exeter City sit in position 16

32 points at the turn. The first half of a season is a promise; the second is a bill, and the town is about to find out which of the two this one was.

Squad3 Dec 2029

A falling-out at Exeter City

Duván Riascos and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad3 Dec 2029

A row about effort at Exeter City

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Vitor Reis was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The terraces3 Dec 2029

Exeter City supporters have found a favourite in Vitor Reis

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Vitor Reis has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

The dugout3 Dec 2029

Sinclair Armstrong gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad3 Dec 2029

James Gibbons reaches 200 appearances

200 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

Squad3 Dec 2029

Percy Baker out for 51 days

The medical room confirms 51 days on the sidelines for Percy Baker, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Market3 Dec 2029

Still no ink between Exeter City and Vitor Reis

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Exeter City, another week without a signature from Vitor Reis.

Loan watch3 Dec 2029

Frankie Phillips wants to come home

“I did not go to Sheffield Wednesday to sit and watch. I want to come back to Exeter City and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 22 matches say the rest.

Boardroom3 Dec 2029

Wages swallow 87% of the Exeter City income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.
