Those Saints keep marching: Saints 3 Exeter City 1

Sometimes it isn't glamourous grinding out results. Exeter showed little enterprise - they were outperformed by nearly 2000 of thier travelling fans who did a great job supporting their team. However it was a sell-out game for us and they stood little chance againt 29,000 Saints supporters!

Saints scored after 15 minutes and then again about 15 minutes later. I was preparing for 6-0! But then the whole thing ground to halt. An Exeter player was sent off for something I didn't see - why can't people wait until half-time to get their drinks? This seemed to spur Exeter on and eventaully they fashioned a goal.

The rest of the game was a bit edgy until a late third goal from Papa Waigo. This win pushed us up to 12th - top half of the table. It must be a realistic goal to seek a play-off place. Who knows, maybe next season we will be playing Pompey in the Championship!
