Taken all round the City's 3-1 victory over Millwall was a fairly comfortable one, although at one stage, at the start of the second half Exeter were making it hard for themselves, and Broadfoot got the equaliser to Rees's early goal after 67 minutes. But as soon as the City buckled down to hard, fast football again they got the goals in the 74th and 82nd minutes which won them the match. The leading clubs in Division 4 are now:-
- Port Vale top (56 points),
- Coventry (51),
- York (50),
- Shrewsbury and Exeter City (48).
