The Grecians are back on the road this Saturday, heading to take on Barnsley in a 3pm kick-off at Oakwell.
City will be looking to build on Tuesday night's point in Matt Taylor's first match back in interim charge of City as they head to a stadium where they have tasted success in recent years.
The Grecians have been victorious on their previous three visits to Barnsley - last season a late Josh Magennis strike earned a 2-1 win.
Our hosts come into the match on the back of a narrow 1-0 defeat to Wycombe Wanderers on Tuesday night.
To all the Grecians making the trip - we thank you for your support. Sing loud and sing proud on Saturday.
