It's often said in football that winning can change everything, and that is something that is no more evident than at Exeter City at the moment.
Not that long ago, the Grecians found themselves in the League Two relegation zone and the possible threat of a return to the Conference was a genuine fear for the St James Park faithful.
Some fans even launched an online petition to remove long serving manager Paul Tisdale from his post, such was the strength of feeling in certain quarters.
However, after four consecutive wins against Cambridge United, Tranmere Rovers, Bury and- most recently- Dagenham Redbridge have lifted City up to 14th in the table.
New signing Graham Cummins has made a big difference- scoring three times in nine appearances, and loan signing Alex Nicholls- prior to his recent recall by the Cobblers- has also given the Grecians a different dimension.
The progress of youngsters Christy Pym and Matt Grimes also points to a brighter future as well, as the duo retained their places in Aidy Boothroyd's England Under-20 squad after making their debuts against Romania last month.
