Ollie Watkins: Exeter City confident ahead of season's opener

Ollie Watkins says side have a good chemistry going into Blackpool match

Ollie Watkins says there is a good chemistry in the Exeter City team ahead of their opening match of the season against Blackpool.

Watkins, who scored three goals in pre-season, says City have benefited from having a settled side during the summer and are going into the season’s opener full of confidence.

“I’m sure the lads are confident that we can go and beat any team in the league – or in a cup competition,” he said. “We have got a good, cemented team at the moment and the chemistry is there so let’s see what we can do Saturday.”

Watkins, who made his permanent breakthrough into the side last year scoring eight goals in 10 games towards the end of last season, says he is really looking forward to the new campaign.

“I’m really excited for the game on Saturday,” he said. “I’m really looking forward to it and seeing what result we can get. Hopefully we can get a win and then it is on to Tuesday.”
