Gary Caldwell was disappointed as Exeter City suffered their first League One defeat of the season, losing 2-1 to Northampton Town.

Exeter took the lead in the first half with a header from Tristan Crama, but couldn’t maintain their advantage. Northampton turned the game around in the final 25 minutes, with goals from Callum Morton and Cameron McGeehan securing the win for the home side.

"Disappointing result," said Gary. "I thought the performance for large parts was very good. 

"We started the game really well, scored a great set-piece which we’ve been working on and should’ve scored more goals in that period. 

“Second half pretty similar story – started really well, created loads of chances but couldn’t get that second goal which I think kills the game off."

A positive for Exeter was new signing Kamari Doyle, who came off the bench and made an impact in his short time on the field.

“I thought Kamari was excellent, he came on in the game at a really difficult moment. 

"He got two shots, the first one was very unlucky – a fantastic block – the second one just couldn’t get hold of it to hit it hard enough to get it past the goalkeeper."
