Speaking after the defeat, Grecians boss Tisdale expressed his disappointment that his side couldn’t push on when level at half-time.
“It hurts because we’re so disappointed. It’s a very different set of emotions when you lose to when you win. I’m thinking about next year already and that’s what you do, that’s life as a football manager.” he said to the Club.
“I’m disappointed we didn’t make the best of today’s opportunity. Generally, we played really well and I’m proud of the boys and what they’ve done over the past eleven months.
“The players have got about four weeks off but we’ll start again in four weeks time.
“Things we can’t control. That’s what other clubs are thinking so it’s not my business. It’s only our business if they make offers for our players.
“We’ll build for next year and continue to develop the Club, thinking about the health of the Club moving forward.
