After bowing out of the EFL Cup on Tuesday, Town's focus returned to the league this afternoon with their first home fixture against Exeter.
In truth, it was far from a vintage display from the Wiltshire side, and Exeter deservedly took the lead midway through the first half.
Lawrence Vigouroux producing a fine save to tip Reuben Reid's long distance strike onto the post, but unable to prevent the kind rebound falling to Liam McAlinden to slot home.
Half time saw Town boss David Flitcroft ring the changes, with debut man Kaiyne Woolery joining Luke Norris on the pitch.
And the duo had an almost immediate effect, Norris sending Woolery through on goal who confidently tucked the ball past the outstretched Exeter keeper.
Exeter came close to winning the tie in the dying moments, but Town hung on.
