I have to agree with Cashman about their keeper pulling the ball over the line. Looked clear to me that he did just that and it was endorsed by the keepers reaction too.

Both teams played some excellent passing and probing football throughout the first half with the best chances falling to us but somehow we failed to find the back of the net.

With their first shot on target they scored in added on time!!!

Looked like the player coming in from the left side was allowed to run across our deep midfield without being tackled!

Then to make it worse we went two down after a dubious refereeing decision to award Exeter a free kick.

You have to acknowledge though that the free kick was taken superbly and young Jack had no chance, although we did only have three in the 'wall'. O'Sullivan scored a rocket to give us a fighting chance soon after

but then they got their third, which again lacked a tackle form midfield, and it looked like 'game over'.

However, McCarten got us back in it again with another super goal.

He really made a difference when he came on. Before that we looked like we were playing with two or three passengers in the team!!!

I was hoping that Carver would be brought on early in the second half but sadly he was not used.

In conclusion, I think a draw would have been a good result tonight and probably a fair result too. I think that Exeter have been the best exponents of the 'control...pass...move...control' game that I have seen this season and I expect them to be in the top three or four by the end of the season.
Next week in the FA Cup is a big one for us and we all need to psyche ourselves up for it.
The money from wiNning another round is important and so is the possibilty/hope of being drawn away against a big club....Man Utd away will do us just fine!
