PAUL Tisdale is confident his Exeter City side will break their St James's Park duck by overcoming Accrington Stanley tomorrow.

City have been left to count the cost of their profligacy in front of goal having lost all four league and cup games at home this season.

Tisdale's men are creating plenty of chances and playing some attractive passing football, but are lacking a killer touch in front of goal.

The City boss, though, has urged fans not to lose heart and claims it won't be long before they start turning performances into points.

"It is only a matter of time," he insisted. "We will get better and better and we have just got to keep the faith.

"Passing and creative football comes off the back of confidence and we must make sure we keep that.

"We want to win every game we play and it is very important that we get what we deserve.

"If we had only deserved four points so far then we would have a different attitude, but we deserve more than that.

"We are determined to make things go our way and I believe that will happen. If we had issues about being out-muscled, out-run and out-passed then it would be different, but we haven't.

"We have been fitter, moved the ball better and are creating better chances. So I don't believe we need to start focusing on changes yet."

City have recorded four points from their opening four games and are cushioned in mid-table in League Two.

And while Tisdale expects a tough challenge from Accrington Stanley, he insists the key to finding a winning formula rests on his side doing the right things.

"I expect a very good game and it is more about us than them," he said.

"I haven't seem them play before but I have had a couple of reports. We haven't quite found our winning formula yet this season and that is what the focus is on more than worrying about Accrington.

"We looked at Luton coming to the Park last week and they had some very good individual players and, on the day, it was more about us than about them."

After deciding not to bring in a replacement for George Friend before the transfer window closed, Tisdale says he may dip into the loan market to boost his squad.

The window for loan signings opens on Monday and Tisdale will scour the market for potential recruits.

"I will be contemplating loans at the start of the week," he said.

"It might not be the left side, it might be the right side.

"The picture changes so quickly. I am not a big one on loan signings, but it is important to be open-minded.

"My issue with loans is how long you have got the player, how much effort you have to put into them and what you get back from that.

"And sometimes when you start to feel the benefit you can lose that player, while one of your own players has been on the sidelines. There are a lot of angles you need to look at in terms of loan players."
