The first of three interesting fixtures which by the end of it should confirm whether we have changed and are up for the challenge of promotion or are just the same old Exeter City failing short just when it matters. Cambridge and Scunthorpe (away on Tuesday) are two fixtures where historically everything points to an easy Exeter win but being Exeter we usually blow it, and with the large crowd on the following Saturday with the visit of Bury Argyle it's another opportunity to see if we can rise to the big occasion and get one over on the greenies or again just not turn up.
I fully anticipate Matty to utilise his squad during the three matches and resting some players ahead of the Greenies match, so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Matt Jay starting in place of Nicky Law in either this match or on Tuesday, Likewise Nigel may well start ahead of Archie in his match fitness build up. We could even see Ben Seymour come on/start ahead of Lee Martin and Jayden Richardson for Randell
Cambridge are currently 16th in the division funnily enough on 16 points, the bulk of which they have picked up away from the Abbey Stadium. Their current home form is won 1 drawn 2 and lost 3 scoring 6 and letting in 8. Their current top scorer is that famous songwriter Sam Smith who is on a season long loan from Reading with 5 goals, closely followed by should I say veteran former Swindon and Northampton Town striker Marc Richards aged 37 with three goals to date this season and Paul Lewis who has also got three goals from Midfield.
Their current average attendance this season is just below 4000 with their last home fixture against Macclesfield attracting just over 3600. I would anticipate that with the town's proximity to London a fair few exiles will be up in force and that saturday's crowd will be 4268 with 538 Grecians making the trip.
Historically Cambridge is a good hunting ground for us and I think that it will continue to be so this weekend, Cambridge won't be able to contend with our Blitzkrieg tactics and will be 2 down in the first 15 finishing 0 -4 to Exeter Bowman x 2 Jay and Martin (A)
