Why Gary Caldwell feels the stars are aligning for Exeter as the League One side aim to emulate Wigan's FA Cup heroes by stunning Nottingham Forest Two photographs are captured within a single picture frame that hangs on a wall inside Gary Caldwell’s office at Exeter City.

Gary Caldwell poses under two photographs in his office - one of Wigan's imminent relegation, the other of their FA Cup triumph - which remind him of the rollercoaster nature of football.

Ben Watson (right) wheels away in delight at scoring the winning goal for Wigan in the FA Cup final victory over Manchester City in 2013, one of the competition's biggest ever shocks.

It might get a mention on Tuesday as his team, winless in League One since Boxing Day, try to topple Nottingham Forest, bang in form and 57 places up the pyramid, dreaming of the Champions League after seven goals against Brighton on their last outing.

They are singing and bouncing on the Wembley turf in celebration, and Caldwell is reaching out to touch the FA Cup.
