Gary Caldwell has given his views as the Grecians are set to face Stockport County on Saturday, looking to build on Tuesday's win at Barnsley.
City bounced back in midweek after a defeat to promotion chasing Wrexham last Saturday, offering the perfect response, but will face another difficult test against a Hatters side who are themselves looking for a successive promotion.
"There's a lot we can take from Wrexham and Barnsley. On Tuesday we showed huge progressions from the previous game and that is what we want. When we lose we can analyse and make improvements, and when we win we can still get better, so we will always review.
"We know against the best teams in this league we have to be at our very best, no facets of our game can be below where they need to be.
"We have to make sure on Saturday we get everything right, and if we do we can win."
