UPDATE: Exeter City is poised to extend its winning streak to four games as they face Wigan Athletic today at St James Park. Manager Gary Caldwell has emphasized the importance of consistency following their recent victories, including a celebrated win in the Devon derby against Plymouth Argyle.
The Grecians are riding high after wins in the Vertu Trophy and FA Cup, and Caldwell insists that the team’s recent success stems from a strong training ethic and effective preparation. “It’s good, but it comes from consistency,” said Caldwell. “The way we’ve worked this year has been much better, and the execution of our training shows.”
Caldwell, who has a long history with Wigan Athletic as both a player and manager, acknowledged the emotional weight of facing his former club. “Wigan holds a special place in my heart due to my time there, but today, we focus on winning,” he stated.
In terms of player availability, Exeter City is looking at one of their strongest lineups in recent weeks. “Johnly Yfeko has had a full week of training, and there are no fresh injury concerns from our last match against Halifax,” Caldwell confirmed. Key players Sonny Cox, Jake Doyle-Hayes, and Ryan Rydel have all returned to training, with Doyle-Hayes expected to be the furthest along in recovery.
Caldwell also provided positive news regarding Carlos Mendes Gomes, who is returning to the squad after a rehabilitation period. “He’ll step up his recovery next week, and we’re optimistic about having him back fully fit soon,” he added.
As the Grecians prepare to take on Wigan, the stakes are high, and the atmosphere is electric. Fans are eager to see if Exeter can secure another victory and continue their impressive run. The game kicks off at 3:00 PM GMT today, and all eyes will be on St James Park.
Exeter City’s transformation under Caldwell has captured the attention of fans and analysts alike. With a solid strategy and improving player fitness, the Grecians are determined to make their mark in this crucial encounter.
