Morton.

Morton. Quality player.

Much much better today. I’d barely got to the front of the North Stand when the ball went over the top and Oliver lashed in. Hell of a finish.

After that I was so relaxed. Exeter genuinely didn’t scare me once today. I would be very surprised if they end the season in the top 3. To be honest, based on that, I’d love us to play them over two legs if we do secure a top 7 spot.

Morton is a great prospect. I’ll give Curle the credit that he deserves for bringing him in because he is really good. I’d have loved him to score today as it would have properly topped off his excellent performance.

Please make this comfortable performance the norm through to the end of April now!

Good performance today, especially second half. Exeter were not up to much, didn't know how to break us down when we had men behind the ball and looked quite ordinary. Pollock looked really up for it when he came on, making some excellent runs and tackles. Jones had his best game to date too. Credit to Curle today, he gets a lot of stick, but got tactics and substitutions spot on today , although an early goal always helps. Nice to be back in the play offs, just need to stay there now and on todays showing , look a decent organised team again.

Charlie Goode edges it for me.

We'll win this if Willo's fit.

A good win and a good second half performance.Three more important points in the bag and onto Cheltenham we go where a win would be huge for our playoff hopes.

Don’t see us making the autos with or without him. He hasn’t looked at it for a while and even if he is fit I only see him as a bit part player with Morton and Oliver starting.

Nor do I frankly. It was more a tongue in cheek reference to his undoubted (imo) ability.
We could make it interesting though if we beat those around us on the run in.

I genuinely hope there will be as much praise for Curle getting the tactics spot on, as there is for when some claim he gets it wrong.

Well done to him and the lads today.. Who got man of the match?

Nicky Adams.

A trip to see if Johnny really does Rock.......or we could just call it Whaddon Road!

A crunch 6 pointer in the play off race as we take on the Robins. A win for us would put us 5th, a win for them would keep them 5th, and a draw would see them stay in....5th! We'd go up to 6th with the draw though.

33 previous games against the Robins in all competitions, they hold the upper hand with 13 wins to our 11. We only have one win in the last seven against them, and our last win there was the playoff semi final win in 2013 when we prevailed 1-0, a Luke Guttridge goal sending us to Wembley. We've lost our last two visits there 3-1 and 3-2.

They are on a decent run with 4 wins in their last 5 games overall, and 5 wins on the bounce at home since a 1-0 defeat to Plymouth on Boxing Day.

Craig Hicks will be the man in the middle, he has reffed us twice this season, overseeing our 1-0 win at Swindon and our 4-1 win over Crewe. He refereed the League Trophy semi final between Portsmouth and Exeter last Tuesday night, and has been in charge of 26 games this season issuing 78 yellow and 4 red cards.
