2024/25
All Results and information

Exeter City's 2024/25 League One campaign, under manager Gary Caldwell, was a mixed bag, ultimately concluding with a 16th-place finish and 56 points. While the Grecians achieved their primary objective of remaining in the division, the season was characterized by periods of inconsistency and a continued struggle for attacking potency.

The team started with intent, securing a "statement" win against Rotherham, but quickly found themselves embroiled in a challenging spell with three consecutive league and cup losses. A notable positive was their FA Cup run, which saw them push Premier League Nottingham Forest to penalties in the Fourth Round, showcasing their resilience and ability to compete against higher-tier opposition.

January proved to be a turning point, with new signings helping to turn fortunes around and improve defensive solidity, as noted by Caldwell himself, leading to more controlled performances. However, goalscoring remained an issue, with Millenic Alli's 9 league goals and Josh Magennis's 12 across all competitions highlighting the need for more widespread contributions. The squad's depth was also tested by injuries and loan player departures.

Overall, Exeter City's 24/25 season was one of consolidation rather than significant progression. While they demonstrated moments of genuine quality and a strong defensive foundation at times, the lack of consistent goal threat and periods of poor form prevented them from climbing higher up the League One table. The upcoming season will undoubtedly see Caldwell aim to build on the foundations laid, address the attacking deficiencies, and push for a more stable position in the league.
