Exeter City will play Swansea City at St James Park on Saturday,
in the first pre-season friendly to be held at St James Park
for a couple of seasons.
Swansea City: Erwin Mulder; Kyle Naughton, Mike van der Hoorn,
Joe Rodon, Jake Bidwell; George Byers, Matt Grimes (captain);
Nathan Dyer, Bersant Celina, Barrie McKay; Oli McBurnie.
Subs: Kristoffer Nordfeldt, Connor Roberts, Ben Cabango,
Brandon Cooper, Declan John, Jack Evans, Jay Fulton,
Wayne Routledge, Yan Dhanda, Joel Asoro, Borja Baston.
Kick-off for the match is at 3pm and former Exeter City Academy
graduate Matt Grimes is set to come back to his former club,
having had a successful season withChampionship side Swansea
last campaign - picking up four accolades at their end of season awards.
City manager Matt Taylor is pleased to get a pre-season friendly back
at the Park, following the completion of redevelopment work at the
ground, and says it will be a great occasion for the supporters.
“It will be fantastic for our supporters, they've not had a pre-season
game at the Park for a couple of seasons now," he said. "Hopefully
Swansea will bring a strong team and we can make it a competitive game."
Last Time the Two Teams Met
Last time the two sides met in a competitive match was when both teams
were battling for survival at the foot of the Football League in 2003.
The game was late on in the season, on Monday, April 21, and the
Grecians collected all three points at the Vetch Field thanks to a
goal from Sean Devine.
However, it would prove to be a false dawn as, despite winning their
remaining two games of the season - against York City and Southend
United - the Grecians were relegated as Swansea also recorded
back-to-back victories against Rochdale and Hull City to survive
the drop at City's expense.

we do need some tougher tests, still aren't fully match fit yet though so the early signs are looking good
I think we shocked Exeter with how fast we came out of the blocks, they got a bit more into it as the game went on
. |
Agree. Think everyone played well with and without the ball. Impressed with first touch especially and willingness to take shots on goal. |  | | |

We do seem more direct under Cooper.. we're not passing for passings sake.. but I don't know whether it's down to the opposition we're facing | |

Another goal resulting from inability to defend a corner!
Having brought in Big Sam's mate I would have expected some signs of improvement. |  |

Ben Cabango looks good. Composed, tall, quick and athletic, I can see how he is highly rated at the club.
How old is he? |  |

He gets alot of criticism but I've always thought he's decent when he's made appearances for us. | |

Borja looked a lot better than the youngsters and it is a shame he didnt have some of the service that the players earlier in the game had so we can have an idea where he is actually at. |  |

mcburnie had a quiet day, i was wondering if we do lose him, could Borja Baston step up and have a go - he didn't really do that much today, but wasn't on for very long.
