First team coach Dan Green has given his thoughts as the Grecians prepare to take on Shrewsbury Town on Saturday, hoping to build on a positive performance away at Reading in midweek.
City looked confident at the Select Car Leasing Stadium on Tuesday and just lacked a goal to win the game, but can take a lot of heart into the match at SJP against the side currently bottom of League One.
"There is huge potential in individuals and as a collective, but we know Shrewsbury will be an incredibly tough game.
"|f you look at Gareth Ainsworth's teams in the past and the job he has started to do there, they are all in for him and that will provide a test for us. There is lots to play for at this point in the season and we are going to look to be at our very best to get maximum points from this game.
"It's that time of the season where everyone is playing for something. We expect them to be direct and full of energy, and put pressure on us when we have the ball."
