Gary Caldwell has given an update as the Grecians prepare to begin their season preparations with a friendly match at Tiverton Town on Tuesday evening.
In the first of ten pre-season friendly fixtures, a mixture of players will feature at the Ian Moorcroft Stadium, as City fans can get the first glimpse of the five new signings Caldwell has made so far.
"Tomorrow we want to see the fitness that we've worked on, tactically we have worked on things similar to last year but we want to evolve that and take it to the next level," Gary said.
"Winning always matters and we have to instil that culture and mentality into the players. There are lots of things we want to tick off in these games.
"When the players go into these games they're going in fatigued and while we want a lot of things we know it won't be perfect but we expect a performance."
