VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM

Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale told BBC Radio Devon:

"I'm more than happy with their first league win of the season.

"For the first time we actually built a performance.

"We all knew this was about the result rather than the performance and we were happy to take it."

Chesterfield manager John Sheridan told BBC Radio Sheffield:

"The goals we conceded were a joke. The first goal is a joke and the second one is a joke.

"I didn't think there was any danger of losing the game

"The goals that we are conceding are very school boy at the moment."
