Exeter and York played out a stalemate in Devon on Saturday but the home side will feel slightly aggrieved that they did not convert their chances and win the game.<\/p>\n
The first half was poor and the 3,000 plus crowd got frustrated as both sides only managed to register three very tame shots on target between them.<\/p>\n
Both managers were forced into one change before the break though as Christian Ribeiro and Stephane Zubar went off injured and were replaced by Jordan Tillson, for City, and IIlesanmi, for York.<\/p>\n
In the second half York had their chances, but they were sparse to say the least. Penn warmed the gloves off Olejnik early on and then Emile Sinclair had a speculative effort loop over the City keeper’s head.<\/p>\n
York City boss Russ Wilcox: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Exeter were better than us on the day. When that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the case you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re relying on character and we were resolute towards the end. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We would probably have lost that game last season, but we dug in and stayed solid. We can do a lot better, but I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m happy with two clean sheets and four points in a week. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153As a performance, it was nowhere near outstanding, but it was an outstanding point at a team that I think will make the top seven.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n
