Caldwell targets top-half finish for Exeter City
Exeter City manager Gary Caldwell says his side are capable of a top-half finish in League Grecians have lost just two of their past 11 games - to second-placed Wrexham and fourth-placed Stockport County - and are 15th in League One, three points off 12th-placed Lincoln City. They face relegation-threatened Burton Albion and Crawley Town over the Easter period before ending the season against Huddersfield Town and Mansfield Town. "I think it can be done. It can be done and that's the most important thing," Caldwell told BBC Radio Devon about a top-half finish. "That's what we're focusing on, we want to try and win every single game."I think we have four different games, the first one being the toughest by far in my opinion, but we have four games and we want to try and win every one, and to finish in that top half would be an incredible achievement."Caldwell's side are 10 points clear of the relegation places and are set for a fourth-successive season in League will be the first time the club has achieved such a feat under fan ownership - they last spent four consecutive seasons in the third tier in the early 1990s."I think you always want to be in a position of control and controlling your own destiny," added Caldwell. "This year, fortunately, we've never been down in that bottom four, last year I think we had one week in it."I think that's great credit to a club that our budget is in that bottom four every year and to only have spent one week in it in the last two seasons shows the progress we're making as a club and shows the progress we're making as a team."So I'd always liked to be that team that is in control and looking higher up the table than worrying what's below."

Caldwell eyes 'fantastic achievement' to end season

We've not been prolific but it hasn't had the same impact on the team as it's had to Wigan in terms of points per game."Walsall [in League Two] lost their best striker (Isaac Hutchinson) and have absolutely collapsed in the second half of the season."That's what happens when you lose key players in any team at any level, and we deserve credit for how we've managed to keep it going, pick up the points we needed to pick up and still have the opportunity to have more points than last year, which would be a fantastic achievement."Until we're mathematically secure we can't rest on where we are, but we want to be higher."Caldwell confirmed that Pat Jones and Demetri Mitchell will miss the rest of the season through injury, with Jones seeing a specialist over a hamstring problem and Mitchell undergoing surgery on a knee issue.
