CITY LOOKING TO ARREST SLUMP

Exeter City will be looking to get their Play-Off bid back on track when they travel to AFC Wimbledon on Saturday following four straight defeats.

The Grecians' Devon derby loss against Plymouth Argyle was followed by defeat at home to Rochdale on Easter Monday.

Two subsequent defeats, at home to Dagenham & Redbridge and away at fellow Play-Off chasers Rotherham United, have seen Exeter slip out of the top seven.

Their current slump has come at a time when the Grecians have suffered a mini-injury crisis as midfielders Matt Oakley and Liam Sercombe are currently sidelined through injury, defenders Steve Tully and Kevin Amankwaah are also out whilst 21-goal leading scorer Jamie Cureton sat out last Saturday's defeat against Dagenham.

This weekend's trip to the Kingsmeadow Stadium could be an ideal opportunity to get their Play-Off bid back on track as Bradford City, the team who replaced them in the top seven after their 4-1 win over Bristol Rovers, face a potentially tricky trip to Chesterfield who, themselves, also harbour ambitions of reaching the Play-Offs.
