Could have done with Bournemouth and Rochdale winning today to make Exeter's chances of reaching the play-offs that more remote and keep Yeovil in the relegation mix, instead of virtually safe.
Unsure what to expect in this one. Think it was Mal who said in another thread along the lines that we usually can rely on Exeter to get us out of trouble. However this season we've lost at home to sides like Orient and Hartlepool, who hadn't won @PP in ages, so superstition doesn't seem to be on our side. Exeter are a footballing side rather than a bunch of cynical cheats, potentially that makes them more dangerous. Jamie Cureton is still a handful up front.
My hope would be that we start with the side that finished at Hartlepool, in a 442, with Showumni and McGurk up front, Jenno on the left and Robbo on the right. However, expect Les to go with his favoured 433, which has yielded some decent results against the better sides. Enoch and Dale did pick up knocks in the North-East, but both likely to be available.
Prediction. I'd hope we could get something out of this one, a point would be near to making us safe, but a nagging doubt remains. Back to a normal crowd of just under 5k.
