Goals were once again the problem for Alex Revell's side as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Exeter at the Lamex on Tuesday.

Boro started the game brightly, creating a couple of good chances in the first ten minutes with the Exeter keeper making some impressive saves.

Against the run of play Exeter took the lead when a Rory Mcardle header nestled into the bottom corner after a dangerous Sparkes free kick.

A very professional second half from the Grecians saw the game through and Boro will once again be ruing missed chances.

Read on to find out which Stevenage players impressed

Stevenage

David Stockdale: 6 – Commanded his defence throughout with a few smart stops

Ben Coker: 6 - Scrappy battle with Caprice all game on the wing, struggled to make foothold down the left hand side
