"PAUL Tisdale praised the fans for helping to roar Exeter City to their first Devon derby victory over Plymouth Argyle at St James's Park since 1992.
James Dunne was the hero after lashing home a 46th-minute winner in front of 7,869 fans.
And Tisdale thanked the supporters for getting fully behind his side at the weekend, even when Plymouth piled on the pressure in the closing stages.
"It was a really good partnership," said the City boss. "The players showed nerve and desire and the supporters delivered perfect support.
"The atmosphere was building before the game and you could sense walking into the ground just how important this game was to our fans.
"It meant a lot to the supporters and they were suitably encouraging and suitably pleased with the result.
"They stuck with us throughout and continued to make a lot of noise when Plymouth had a go at the end.
"I have been so pleased with the way they have supported us this year and I would urge them not to stop there.
"We can do better again next year and they can help us in trying to achieve that."
The Grecians climbed to eighth place in npower League One, having racked up a fifth win in their last six games.
They are now level on points with Leyton Orient – but boast an inferior goal difference – heading into Saturday's trip to Sheffield Wednesday.
Tisdale insists Saturday's performance contained some of the best football he has seen his side play since arriving at St James's Park in 2006. The City boss said: "I think we showed a bit of everything today.
"We made a strong start in a frantic first 10 minutes and then we produced some of the best football I have seen us play under pressure for the next 45, 50 minutes.
"Then for the last period we showed guts, spirit and determination to keep a clean sheet and hold on for the win.
"At 1-0 you cannot afford to be relaxed and feel calm and they were entitled to have a big ending. But we held firm and I was delighted with that."
Tisdale saluted the performance of Premier League referee Mark Halsey, who kept a firm lid on proceedings and didn't have to dish out any yellow cards in a well-natured contest.
And the City boss admits to having a touch of sympathy for the plight of Plymouth after Saturday's defeat plunged them deeper into relegation danger.
"I have a lot of respect for Peter (Reid) and under the circumstances his team have done extremely well," said Tisdale.
"You don't want to see any club go to the wall and good luck to them in the future.
"Football trends change very quickly and about 10 years ago the roles of the two clubs were reversed. There will always be different cycles in clubs, and at the moment they are going through hard times.
"I thought the referee did an excellent job, particularly in the first half when he played on for five seconds after a foul and then brought play back.
"It was a nicely judged performance from him and he was helped by two sets of players who weren't nasty towards each other, but just wanted to win the match."
