When I saw the lineups I was fearing a Man City Exeter repeat however the players and coaches should be proud of that. 4-1 flatters them massively I think and had we scored in the opening 30 seconds or got the penalty decision, who knows how it could have ended up.

We need to show that same hunger and fight in league 1 now. I know we sat men behind the ball to hit them on the counter and we probably can?t do that in league 1 but there?s no reason why we can?t show that same hunger and desire to defend. Last night we were a proper defensive unit, working together and staying strong. Defend like that, with the attacking players we have, there?s no reason why we can?t move up the table.

Every one played well but to pick out a few. Cleary was immense and I imagine most teams on the championship will be having a look now. Let?s hope we stay firm and only accept a daft bid if we need to. Shepherd, who has been part of a leaky defence all season, was an absolute rock. Winning headers, tackles, getting blocks in. That needs to happen in league 1 and hopefully O?Connell can help with that. Lastly, I want to single out O?Keeffe. I am not his biggest fan and I have been very confused at him coming back and being involved in our squad after not being good enough in the summer. But he was excellent last night. Fair play to him.
