A WORD FROM BOTH CAMPS
Ben Garner, Swindon Town Head Coach: "I expect a tough test and I think it will be a good game.
"They've got a good squad, they have been a really well run club for a number of years now, Matt Taylor has done a good job since taking over and they are capable of passing the ball well.
"I saw them not long ago against Forest Green live, they were very good on the night and deserved to win, and I've watched a lot of them this week.
"They can certainly punish on the counter-attack, they've got players who can do that very, very quickly and with quality, so we need to be aware of that, we need to have good security behind the ball when we attack, and we need to press well when they've got the ball because they can pass well and they can open teams up.
"It would be lovely (to extend the gap in the table over Exeter). We want the win."
Matt Taylor, Exeter City Manager: "It is great to see the feel good factor back at Swindon after everything they have been through.
"We have said today that you want to play in front of good crowds on a good pitch. Our away fans travel so well and I know they will be well supported as well. It feels like a bigger game even though there are still 19 or 20 games to go this season because of where the two teams are in the table.
"Both sets of fans will be going there with certain expectations."
