Gary Caldwell's thoughts

Gary Caldwell hopes his Exeter City side can build on a positive performance on Saturday as they face Shrewsbury Town away from home on Tuesday evening.

"It's about what you do in the next game. So If we can go and win on Tuesday night, then Saturday's point becomes a very good point," Gary said. 

"We have to put all our focus on Shrewsbury now and ensure we put in another big performance. There are lot of teams down in that area of the table who are fighting so we know it will be another touggh game and we have to be ready.

"They are a big physical team who don't always like to try and get possession, they'll try to get you on transition and they are very good at set plays. We are clear on what is needed and we will work on that today with the players.

"We have to show that front foot mentality we showed in the second half against Bolton."
