The Perfect Day says Jeannin

Alex Jeannin, the Hereford United defender who scored against his previous club last night, spoke about his day as reported by the Exeter Express and Echo after the game.

"That was a perfect day," said Jeannin.

"What a day it was for me.

"It was a great way to celebrate my birthday, coming back to St James's Park after two great seasons and scoring a free-kick to help us get three points.

"It could not have got any better - it was a perfect day.

"That was definitely our best result of the season. It was not the best performance, but was a very important result.

"We showed great character, worked very hard and in the end I don't think there was any doubt we deserved the three points.

"Exeter didn't create too much, they played the long ball to Flackie when he came on, but we dealt with him well, won a lot of headers and were very strong."

Steve Perryman, the Exeter director of football, also spoke. He admitted that the sending off of Hereford's Guy Ipoua didn't help their cause.

"In some respects it made it more difficult for us," said Perryman.

"They were very organised at the back, defended well and kept the ball well up front. Fair play to them they had a good day.

"We did not have quite enough quality in the end to make the difference.

"We have been beaten by a set-piece goal, a set piece goal we know all about, Alex Jeannin used to do that for us - maybe we should have given him a second year!"
