    I'll take that draw too. To go to the runaway leaders who were seeking to
    cement their promotion and get a draw is a good outcome.
    Like you I've got a nagging feeling about 4th.
    We can't afford to worry about other teams' results. Just keep putting in 100%
    effort and see where that leaves us.

    Next Saturday is Portsmouth V Plymouth. Someone will drop points. Maybe both if its a draw!

    Portsmouth game in hand is away against Wimbledon who is fighting for a play off place. That will be tough for Portsmouth!

    As I said on the above. It's the gimme games that will decide this. Plymouth are the first to fall foul. Rovers did well today to stay in touch. The never say die resolve in our squad will probably see us into the automatic promotion places.

    Hartlepool are on a decent run. And Wycombe may nick some points off them...

    Paul Tierney is our ref this Saturday vs Yeovil. He hasnt been ref for us or Yeovil this season or last season.

    In our relegation season, he was ref for us in our away game at Burton where we lost 1-0 and he sent off 2 of our players - Chris Beardsley and O'Toole!

    Im being negative now though. He was ref for City twice this season when City beat Middlesborough 1-0 away and drew with Hull 1-1 at the gate. He was also ref for City 3 times last season when City beat Sheff Utd 1st game of last season away winning 2-1. Also when City beat Peterborough away 3-0 and when City beat Walsall at home 8-2. He was also ref the season before that (our relegation season) for City and drew 1-1 at home vs Watford and when City won at home vs Notts Co 2-1.

    So been ref 7 times for them in last 3 seasons and City won 5 and drew 2 scoring 18 conceding just 6.

    I think he is a red so expecting a crap performance by him.




    (getting excuses in now <whistle>)

    Andrew Madley is our ref vs Stevenage. He was ref once for us this season in our 4-3 away win at Morecambe. He hasnt been ref for Stevenage this season. He was ref for City in their 4-0 defeat at Burnley. Sounds like a good ref to me :)

    Yeovil Town manager Darren Way says that he is disappointed that the week he deemed the biggest of his managerial career so far ended with defeat to Exeter City.

    After signing a new three-year-deal at Huish Park after guiding Town to the brink of safety in the League Two relegation zone, the gaffer tasted league defeat at home for the first time since stepping into the hotseat.

    Goals from Ollie Watkins and Jake Taylor gave the Grecians a 2-0 win to take back to Devon, and Way is looking to make amends on the training ground next week.

    “It's been a good run and I feel sorry for the supporters that we couldn't give them more,” said the Town boss.

    “I feel disappointed because it's off the back of a busy week, certainly my busiest as a manager press-wise.

    “Now it's back to the real world. I'll get my head down and we’ll be starting work again on Monday.”

    After being undefeated at home since Wycombe in November, the loss to Exeter was a kick in the teeth for the players and coaching staff alike.

    And Way explained that he’s looking for his forwards to grab goals to get the points needed.

    “We've had a lot of 1-0s.” said Way.

    “So today, we've gone 1-0 down, and it's about people stepping up and being responsible for getting us back in the game.

    “I'm looking at our front three to be more responsible. They need to be a bit more clever and to help ease pressure off our back four and midfield three.”

    The boss continued, “They've all had opportunities, I've backed every single one of them, and we've done work on movement and finishing.

    “But it's their belief that makes the ball go into the back of the net.

    “I'm just looking for a bit extra, it's not the end of the world, but it'll benefit us as a team.”

    The Grecians are now ninth in the table a few points off the playoff places, and goalscorer Watkins was praised by the Yeovil manager.

    “Fair play to Exeter, they're a team in form.

    “The striker Stockley caused us all sorts of problems, and they've got Watkins too.

    “We talked about him before the game, and I told the players that anyone who lets him have a shot on the edge of the area that they're going to get fined!

    “The boy has belief at the moment, and we just didn't stop him.”

    Whilst League Two safety could have been confirmed today, Yeovil aren’t quite mathematically safe from the drop just yet.

    But the boss rubbished any idea of his players being in holiday mode if their Football League status is confirmed after next weekend’s trip to Bristol Rovers.

    “We're not safe until it's mathematically confirmed, but I'm not interested in that. I don't want complacency, because I hate it.

    “People may have thought it'd be a lot tighter, but I don't want to be looking at other clubs. I want us to be winning football matches, that is the main thing.

    “We’ll dust ourselves down, and we go to Bristol Rovers.”

    Another fiery match coming up, seem to remember we struggled to finish with eleven players on the pitch against Yeovil in the past

    Strange decision by Orient today, 5 games to go and just 2 points behind play offs.....

    They remove player manager Kevin Nolan from manager and hire Andy Hessenthaler as manager until the end of the season (just 5 games) while Nolan remains player only!
