Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale admits his side needs to improve away form.

Exeter City travel to Notts County on Saturday

City have lost their last five League Two games away from home. Tisdale says there has been something missing from their performances when you compare it to the displays at St James Park. 

Speaking to the clubs website, he said: “I think we have got to do better,” said Tis. “I think there has been the odd game or two where we have started really well and we looked like a team that wasn’t going to lose a game – notably Yeovil away and Chesterfield away but there has been something that has been missing that we have had at home.

“I think we have got to be careful not to overthink it as well. You get these strange little quirks in a league season and you can look into it and dig deep and actually sometimes it is just about mentality and a purpose and an intensity to your play that gets things back on track.

“So I am trying to get the balance right between overthinking things and just getting the players to be at their best.”

Notts County will be no easy encounter he added. 

“They are definitely one of the league pacesetters and it is a good barometer for us, especially away from home,” said Tis. “We have had some poor form away from home recently so it is a good challenge for us.”

Team news. Captain Jordan Moore-Taylor is rated as 50/50 for Saturday’s game at Meadow Lane. Troy Brown and Luke Croll are both back in training as well but will not be fit for the match against County.
