I'd imagine most teams have won more games against the bottom 4. That's why they're in the bottom 4.

What a fantastic result! It’s the business end of the season and sometimes you have to dig in and eke out a win and we very much did that. That result will do wonders for morale and confidence! It keeps us alive and means we’ll take it right to the wire.
The performance was itself very mixed, mind you. The first half could have been mistaken for a pre-season friendly. It was so flat. Exeter having four key attacking players out obviously blunted them hugely but they still produced the best chance. If Wildsmith doesn’t make that save, it’s a totally different game.
Up until McGoldrick showed his class, that bloke in the Stagecoach Stand parading around in his Forest shirt was the star - he got more out of the crowd than anything we did!
We did improve in the second half but we honestly didn’t look like scoring until McGoldrick came up with the goods. What an inspired free kick and the touch, lay off and finish in the move linking up with Mendez Laing was all so smooth. He’s different class when he’s on it. It wouldn’t be Derby though if we didn’t immediately threaten to throw it all away, but we hung on thankfully!
One final thought is that I wasn’t a fan of the away terrace set up. It was too small, too cramped, and the view was not always clear. The amount of times I had to crane my neck to see across the goalmouth and to the other side of the pitch, I lost count.
Still, a win is a win!

Exeter have rested three of their best players?
Speeding back up the A30!
Countryfile can wait.

3 at the back again?
We’re speeding back down the A30 as I type this.
Home in time for Countryfile.

Guys, there’s no point embarking on the four hour drive.
We’re getting absolutely tonked. It could be double figures.
Warne will be sacked at the final whistle.
Millennium Ram will name his first child Nombe.
You heard it here first.

Just realised that’s where we were and where the photo is.

thanks for the heads up Jourdan , not long arrived in Exeter , just having a couple of pints sitting outside the Prospect, some of these places you have recommended sound mouthwatering

Excellent, B4. I hope you and your dad have a great evening.
I used to work in the very centre of Exeter at a language school on Queen St, so I know it fairly well.
But funnily enough I never thought to go to the ground before now. I’d only ever ventured up that way in search of a barber, not food.
What time is your coach getting in?
If it’s 5:30 or before, you should have enough time to take a walk and get a quick bite to eat in the centre. There’ll be plenty of chain restaurants open. Rosa’s Thai in the Guildhall Centre is the newest one.
If it’s 6 or later, go with @bimmerman’s suggestions of staying nearby the stadium and exploring the options on Sidwell St and in the fanzone.

Final tip of the night from me.
If you are in the area tomorrow morning and you like walking, you can get a train to Okehampton. It’s 45-50 minutes from Exeter Central by train. It’s 25-30 minutes by car.
There is a walking trail from the station with great views of Dartmoor.

Locals call it the Chev. My fiancée says the shots are wonderfully cheap in there.
Exeter has some nice old pubs in the city centre.
Look out for The Turk’s Head (High St), the Ship Inn (Martin’s Lane), the Old Firehouse (New North Road), the White Hart (South St) and the Exonian (Fore St).
If you are on the Quay, the Prospect Inn is a local favourite and if you are near St. David’s, the Mill on the Exe is another.

Me and my dad first time there as well.

I hope coaches are not to far away from the ground even through I can walk a little bit more normally I still struggle through.

If our fans partake in all the pubs, cafes, burger vans, chip shops, pizza shops, walks, train rides and all the rest on here on route to the match they could all be asleep for the second half, for one hell of a price……………..

We are in the Indigo hotel, so only about a 15 minute walk to the ground.
