Tisdale is close to leading Exeter to a second consecutive promotion

Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale has said picking up points is his side's main focus as the season nears an end.

The Grecians benefitted from a freak own goal to win 1-0 away at Lincoln on Saturday in League Two.

"We made a big effort and we scored fortuitously," Tisdale told BBC Radio Devon. "And sometimes you just need that sort of goal.

"We'll take any points we can get at the moment, the players are jubilant and we march on to our next game."

The result sees Exeter stay second in League Two, four points behind leaders Brentford.

And with all the other sides around them also winning last Saturday, Tisdale was keen to stress the importance of his side's late goal.

"It's a massive three points for us," he said. "We put a big effort in, gave it a go in the last 20 minutes and we came through in the end.

"Sometimes you need that type of victory and we'll take anything we can get at the moment."

Exeter now face Morecambe at St James Park on Saturday in their penultimate game of the season.
