Marc Pugh and Billy Jones discuss goings on at Bournemouth and Exeter City with Chris Burton.

It has not been the most productive of seasons for clubs on the South Coast.

They are, however, looking to stay positive and Marc Pugh discussed both his and the club's future with Chris Burton. To see what he had to say, click here.
