Grecians manager Gary Caldwell saw Bolton play at Wigan at the beginning of the month, but it’s unclear if he’ll choose to follow the Latics’ counterattacking strategy that evening.
As the Bolton camp gets closer to the match at St. James Park, Exeter’s openly offensive style has kept them in the dark. Exeter and Peterborough United squared off against each other last week.
Although we have been attentively observing our opponents over the past few days, we have spent a lot of time observing them, yet their strategies have changed depending on the game.
They have occasionally shown selflessness, but last weekend’s matchup with Peterborough featured an almost 4-2-4 extremely aggressive press that Peterborough occasionally struggled to break.
We’ll ensure that the players comprehend the solutions and be ready for both circumstances. That is what I do.
Despite their recent four-game losing streak, Exeter has taken some noteworthy opponents this season to get up towards mid-table.
Evatt finished his playing career under Caldwell’s management at Chesterfield, and he thinks his opposite number might simply change his strategy on the day to cause problems for Bolton.
He declared, “They are a well-coached team.” “I know Gary has some nice detail because I played under him.
While we are always careful in our analytical work and never treat someone disrespectfully, the emphasis is always on ourselves and our performance.
“We must be prepared for any opponent setup or strategy. There is a lot of rotation there, and they are pretty fluid in possession. They will undoubtedly launch an attack.
Hopefully, we can go there and carry out our strategy to achieve a result.
In April of last year, Wanderers defeated Exeter five days after winning the Papa Johns Trophy at Wembley.
They did it without any supporters. Both Ricardo Santos and Eoin Toal sustained injuries in the championship game, but they managed to stay in the top six and advance to the play-offs.
Evatt’s team is asking for more this time around because they have made it clear that they want to finish in the top two.
The manager remarked, “That was a wonderful result on the back of Wembley.” “Going there and winning after losing to Eoin and Rico that week was quite impressive.
I recall a pleasant spring day, Conor Bradley’s goal, and Josh Sheehan’s exquisite pass. Although I suspect we’ll receive one of those this time, the pressure is still on us.
I use the word evolution a lot because I believe it is vital to measure oneself based on past experiences. This season, we are in the automatic slots, whereas last season we were in the play-offs.
“We have made improvement; unlike last year, when we were almost ever in the race for automatic promotion positions, this season we have been battling for those spots virtually the entire time. That proves that we are superior.
That’s when the strain begins. There are two or three clubs behind us who hope to pass us and potentially even catch Portsmouth, so we are being pursued.
“There will be highs and lows for all those engaged in the abundance of football to be played. We need to control them and make sure we play the best football we can in these next ten games. If we do, I think we can accomplish our goals.
