EXETER CITY have an outside chance of a promotion play-off place, after creeping up League One.

Boss Paul Tisdale has navigated a course with a style which is unpredictable and entertaining for fans at St James’ Park.

Making the most of a tight budget and a free rein, he swaps formations and players regularly.

But this may have contributed to damaging inconsistency.

Top of the list of threats to Orient is attacking midfielder Ryan Harley.

Exeter sold the creative force to Swansea in January, then got him back on loan.

Harley could play a pivotal role this weekend.

Jamie Cureton is set to start up front with Richard Logan. Cureton is Exeter’s own Scott McGleish, a goal-hungry gnarled veteran.

Hitman John O’Flynn can be a threat too, if he comes off the bench.

Midfielder Liam Sercombe could return to action after a knee injury.
