Peter Fox says that Exeter City can afford to surrender their unbeaten home record tomorrow. Exeter could return to the top of Division 3 if they collect all 3 points in Saturdays match against Scarborough. City have an excellent record against Scarborough. The visitors haven't won in six previous trips to St. James' Park and Exeter haven't lost in the last eight meetings between the two clubs.

Exeter boss Peter Fox had set a target of 20 points from their opening 10 games. "We got there with a games to spare," said Fox. "So anything we achieve this weekend is a bonus", "Theoretically, we should be under a bit of pressure to get a result against Scarborough. As far as I'm concerned there is no pressure."

Holycroft is fit again after Tuesday's friendly against Bristol Rovers which left him needing stitches in a head wound.

Holycroft's Exeter City future will be settled tomorrow. The 21-year-old completes his intial spell at St. James' Park with the visit of Scaraborough. Grecians boss Peter Fox must then decide whether he wants Holycroft to stay on fo a second month.

Defender Lee Baddeley - who was injured at Colchester last Saturday - has recovered. And with Chris Curran's long-term knee injury , Baddeley is expected to make his first senior start since the 23rd August. "Lee's recovered very quickly," said Fox. "It was a nasty knock that he took at Colchester but he's a brave lad."
