Matt Taylor's Preview
Exeter City manager Matt Taylor has given his preview ahead of Saturday's long trip to face Grimsby Town in EFL Sky Bet League Two.
The Grecians will be looking to start a new league campaign positively as they make the mammoth 606 mile round trip to Blundell Park.
Speaking about player fitness ahead of the trip, Matt said: "We are looking good. Doyler got another 45 minutes. So he had the 30 minutes against Bristol City and then half a game on Monday.
"We'll keep assessing him on a daily basis. There's hope that he might be able to play a little bit longer this weekend. But we're constantly seeing how he reacts, not just his ankle, but his body reacts. He's been out for such a long period of time. Ethan's obviously suspended after Monday. We've got some bumps and bruises - that is probably the best way for me to describe the physical attributes or the physical makeup of the squad right now. But nothing too major."
