That togetherness has helped Argyle amass 36 points since the turn of the year – only promoted Lincoln City have picked up more since 1 January.<\/p>\n

Their victory against Barnsley on Easter Monday, along with Reading’s last-gasp defeat by Lincoln, pushed Argyle up to seventh and within touching distance of the play-off places in a dramatic turnaround in form.<\/p>\n

Despite Exeter’s precarious position at the other end of the table, Edwards says full focus is on themselves.<\/p>\n

“It’s about us, we’ve got stuff to play for this season,” he added. <\/p>\n

“We know what they’re fighting for – which adds to the occasion – but I think going into the game it’s all about us and how we can win the game.”<\/p>\n

“We know what we have to do to give us the best chance.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
