City v Newport predictions and chat.

[Billy The Fish]

Another stiff test for our table topping heroes. Atangana is making the trip as part of the squad at last but I read that he won't feature.

We're still not firing on all cylinders so someone's going to cop it one of these days but I don't think it's going to happen in Wales on Saturday. 1-1 draw with a Sweeney rocket.

I reckon 1-1 or 1-0 or 0-1 or 0-0.
But it could also be 1-2 or 2-1.

Injury news from the Club

In terms of injury news, Matt added: “Nigel Antangana will travel with us, but will not make the team or the bench, but he will be available for selection in the next week or so. Lee Holmes is a couple of weeks away. Nicky Ajose has had an injection so hopefully that will settle down in the next few days, then it is a two to three-week training plan for him, so we’re pleased he hasn’t had to have surgery. Gary Warren is out there training with the S&C staff, so he isn’t with the group yet but very close.

💬 Matt Taylor: "The strength and depth in the squad is really pleasing."

Exeter City manager Matt Taylor said he is pleased with the competition for places going into Saturday’s match against Newport County.

Does anyone know what our initial ticket allocation was? I see we have sold the full allocation so it is now just pay on the day.
Be interesting to know roughly how many are going. Nice weather and fairly short trip, hopefully we'll have a thousand plus??

 

[Hants_red]

We seem to vary between 500 and 700 odd. I would have though 700+ would be achievable in Saturday.

Just over 600 sold by us.
Took 727 last year.
Cash only pay on the day will increase the numbers.
My guess? About 850ish.
I'll be delighted if it's more.
