Exeter City are back in Emirates FA Cup action on Tuesday night as they take on Cambridge United in a first round replay at St James Park.
The winners of the match will go on to face Hartlepool United at home in the second round, which is scheduled to be played Sunday, December 1.
Ahead of the match though Aaron Martin said they were only focused on Cambridge United and banishing the memories of a last second goal they conceded at the Abbey Stadium to force this replay.
"We can't wait," he said. "I felt we were really unlucky last game, to concede in the last few second of the game, but we are all looking forward to it and getting out there and hopefully getting into the next round.
"There is no point think about the next round though when we have got a game in front of us. As long as we stick to what we know and play like we know we can hopefully we will be in that next round."

THE CONTEXT
A last-minute goal from Sam Smith denied Exeter a victory at The Abbey in the first round of the FA Cup away at Cambridge United on November 9.
Alex Fisher had given the Grecians the lead as Matt Jay drove down the left wing, and though his initial cross was cut out, Cambridge couldn’t clear and Alex Fisher profited, picking the ball up and firing into the left-hand corner for his first City goal.
Just as it looked like City were home safe, Sam Smith fired a low shot through Jonny Maxted to equalise in the last minute of the game to take the fixture to a replay.
