• They have a midfield that can be both penetrative and disruptive, with Tom James contributing to the scoring with 2 goals in his last 5 appearances, whilst Bobby Kamwa has been their main outlet up top with 2 goals in 7.
• Exeter are more of a possession-based unit under Matt Taylor, who has been in charge since March 2026.
• Jack Fitzwater has scored 2 goals in 7 appearances in League Two 2026/2027, which is a useful number for a full-back to chip in with.
