Record-breaker
David Wheeler has been crucial to their seven successive wins with the midfielder finding the net in each of those games.
His latest strike, against Crewe, saw him become the first Grecians player to find the net in seven consecutive matches, surpassing the six-game streaks of Henry Poulter (1933/34) and Roderick Williams (1936/37).
