Exeter City's performance at Watford was uninspiring, the whole team being too slow and lacking in determination. On a hard, dry pitch, with a lively ball requiring first-time methods Exeter's players stood and waited for the bounce, whereas the Watford men secured most of the possession and consequently dictated the game.
