Tisdale is looking forward to the play-offs

Exeter City boss Paul Tisdale said the recent form of his side might give them the edge as they go into the Blue Square Premier play-offs.

City's 4-4 draw at Burton Albion meant they finished fourth, one place behind their bitter rivals Torquay United.

They now face the Gulls at St James' Park in the first leg on Thursday 1 May before the return leg four days later.

"We're very pleased that we've been strong over the past four to six weeks," Tisdale told BBC Radio Devon.

"Whoever we play it's going to be a big double header."

City have lost just two of their last eight games as they pushed into the play-off places at the expense of Stevenage Borough.
