Exeter must use momentum from dramatic draw - Taylor

Jack Bycroft's late goal ensured Exeter City are two points from safety, rather than three [Shutterstock]Exeter City interim manager Matt Taylor says his side must use the momentum from their dramatic draw with Stockport County to keep them in League One.

>The Grecians earned what could prove to be a valuable point last week against play-off chasing Stockport County thanks to goalkeeper Jack Bycroft's dramatic stoppage time equaliser in their 3-3 draw at St James Park.

>City are two points from safety with two games to play in the final relegation place and travel to a Burton Albion side on Saturday (15:00 BST) who could still go down if they lose their remaining fixtures and results go against them.

>"The high, and it was a big high post-game Saturday, has now got to turn into a real focus going into Burton," Taylor told BBC Radio Devon.

>"It feels like there's some momentum building now, positive momentum around the results that we've seen.

>"We've lost once in five, scored eight in the last three and defensively we have to improved certain areas.

>"But I think in terms of the way we've looked as a team and the fight we've shown as well in big moments has been crucial in terms of building that feel.

>"But that's got to sustain us for a longer period then maybe the first half or the first few minutes of the game and regardless of what the opposition throw at us as well."

>Exeter's recent results have improved after a 15-game winless run that saw them drop from 10th place to the drop zone.

>They have won one and drawn two of their past three league matches, scoring eight goals in the process - the same as they managed in the 10 games beforehand.

>"I do feel that if we get our execution right in that final third, we'll blow a team away, and we'll blow a team away early on in the game, which we've not done at any stage," Taylor added.

>"We've been a nearly team in so many attacking moments we've got to make it count.

>"The goal return in the last few games says we're going in the right direction, but not in terms of early first half goals where we have created chances.

>"Those counter-attacking moments against Plymouth in that first half where we went through the space should have materialised in the keeper working at least, if not shots on the opposition goal.

>"We go from a really good shape into really good attacking moments but then really didn't make them count."
