NEILL COLLINS AHEAD OF EXETER TRIP

5 October 2023

Neill Collins spoke to the media to preview Saturday's trip to Exeter City in Sky Bet League One.

ON TEAM NEWS

"Adam Phillips will be back in for selection. Again, unfortunate timing. I think against Blackpool, we probably missed him, certainly having him as an option. To have him back as an option this weekend is good."

ON TUESDAY RESULT

"Statistics paint different pictures. We earned that victory. You obviously put the gloss on it with the fourth goal. I have to say, in the first half I thought we were excellent, deservedly ahead at half-time by a couple of goals. It was a very good team performance and a lot of that came from the mentality of the team."

ON TRAVEL TO EXETER

"Our local derby was Miami which was four hours drive away. When I first started playing there (America), it was a kind of derby and it was another four-and-a-half journey. They were considered the close games and short trips! So this weekend, people make abig deal of it, it's not the end of the world! I'll still be back in my bed late Saturday night."

ON THE GRECIANS

"We're very, very wary (of their start to the season). I think they're very well coached by Gary in terms of how they play. Very attacking side, they've started the season great. I think even on Tuesday night, the result, Charlton were good but to get a man sent off in the fashion that they did definitely impacted the game. This will be as difficult as any of the games we've had. And I think coming off a defeat will make it even tougher for us."
