A WORD FROM BOTH CAMPS:
Paul Tisdale, Exeter City Manager: “They’re in pole position in our league and any kind of result means they go through, whereas we need to win to go through, so it’s as simple as that.
“We’re taking it as competitively as we can do.”
Luke Williams, Swindon Town Head Coach: “I think it will be a very competitive game. They are going to be ready for the physical challenge and ready to run and press and fight, so we know it is not going to be a walkover by any stretch of the imagination.
“We’ve got a chance to go to the next stage of the Checkatrade Trophy and it is a fantastic opportunity to play in some big games and then to ultimately play at Wembley.”
