Cummins shares a home with keeper James Hamon who was withdrawn during the warm up with a suspected broken nose and concussion on the advice of the Exeter physio.
But after scoring a late winner Cummins joked:
"As far as Hammy goes, it couldn't have made him look any worse to be fair. He just took a ball to the face before the game."
But Cummins, 27, thinks that the Grecians play-off hopes might still be alive after an up and down season. He said:
"We kind of blew it at the start, then came back into it and blew it again. A couple of weeks ago we probably thought 'that's it, we'll just play and enjoy the end of the season'. I don't think there's any pressure on us because we were so far behind.
"A win next week could make April a massive month and a great end to the season."
And Cummins revealed that turning into Mr. Angry might just have spurred him on.
Substitute Tom McCready and co-striker David Wheeler failed to tee him up earlier in the game to add to Tom Nichols first half opener and Cummins admitted:
"I don't get angry much. I don't like getting angry with people, but maybe I should congratulate Dave and Tom for getting me a bit wound up."
Exeter manager Paul Tisdale revealed his whole squad appreciated Cummins effort. He said:
"Graham got a round of applause from the lads in the dugout and then from everyone in the dressing room which was nice."
Central defender Jordan Moore-Taylor turned the ball into his own net in the 89th minute to set up a nervy finish, but Cheltenham boss Russell Milton said:
"It wasn't a must win game. There are still eight games to go and 24 points to play for."
