Exeter boss Matt Taylor says he is "enjoying the challenge" of fighting to stay in League One.

The Grecians currently sit 21st in the table and three points behind AFC Wimbledon, who play Plymouth on Saturday.

City welcome Stockport County to St James Park this weekend, with Taylor describing the fact his side play two of their remaining three games at home as "absolutely huge".

"I'm sure as the pressure builds up, more people will come to watch us, and then there is a bigger expectation, but also a bigger connection with our fans," he said.

After a shaky start to Taylor's return to Exeter, he has overseen a slight uptick in form recently.

City's 3-0 win against Doncaster on Easter Monday was the club's third victory at home in 2026.

After that, they played out an exciting 2-2 draw in the Devon derby against Plymouth.

"We have our home form, home support, home comforts, and we know how we want the game to look when it starts at 3pm on Saturday," he said.

When asked how he is feeling about managing the club during a relegation battle, Taylor said: "I'm just enjoying the challenge, really.

"I love being involved in football, I love working on the grass, and I love seeing players develop.

"You are never fully comfortable as a manager or a coach, but you certainly want to see it moving in the right direction, and that's what I've felt in recent weeks."
