The Grecians lose 2-0 at Cardiff City, going down to a 21st minute goal from Mark Aizlewood and a 54th minute strike from Carl Dale. Jon Brown, out since the match at Home Park, makes a sur- prise return to the City side replacing Peter Whiston who aggravates his long term thigh injury. Manager Terry Cooper said; "We started well enough, but it was men against boys at times. I was pleased with the kids again tonight and I will persevere with them again at Port Vale next Saturday."
