How long have you supported Exeter City?
I’ve been an Exeter City fan since birth (22 years).
What were and now are your hopes and expectations for the 2023/24 season?
My honest expectations of the season were to stay in League 1 and start to build a team for the future.
What are your views on your manager?
I really like Gary Caldwell as a manager. I know he divides opinion but I think he is the perfect manager for the club in the current period of time.
Style of play and tactics – direct/passing/hybrid?
I would say we are a passing side. Although at times this season that’s all we have been. We have been really ineffective in the final third at times despite the majority of possession in a lot of games.
One(s) to watch now and in the future?
Our player to watch now is Reece Cole. Really good technical player who has the vision to unlock defences.
The player to watch for the future is Sonny Cox. He has a goalscoring instinct for fun and really found himself at League 1 level this season.
Random fact about your Club?
We were the first team to play Brazil.
Which were your favourite and least favourite matches involving Exeter City?
Most favourite is Exeter vs Barrow in our League 2 promotion season. My least favourite has to be our Wembley defeat to Coventry in the League 2 play-off final.
Which sides do you think will finish in the top six and which do you think will finish in the bottom four?
The top six will be Bolton, Derby, Portsmouth, Peterborough, Oxford, and Stevenage.
The bottom four will be Carlisle, Fleetwood, Cheltenham, and Port Vale.
What are your thoughts on Lincoln City?
Tough side to beat in this division with the potential to be challenging at the top end of this division.
If you could steal one Lincoln City player for your team, who would it be and why?
Joe Taylor.
What is your prediction for this match?
Lincoln 1 Exeter 2.
What are your views on your January transfer business?
Could have done with another striker but overall some decent acquisitions in the likes of Mo Eisa, Ryan Woods, Ben Purrington, Luke Harris and Millenic Ali.
