Exeter need to use cup for league momentum - Baxter

Baxter expects to name a changed side for their cup matches.Winger Paul Brown-Bampoe could feature for the first time this season following summer heel surgery, while new signings such as Andre Goedhals and Carwyn Tuipulotu are in line to make their debuts.Some of Exeter's youngsters are also in line to play, including fly-half Ben Coen, who has spent time with Champ side Cornish Pirates."We know we're not far off, there wouldn't be much for us to have tipped another couple of victories our way, including the game at the weekend against Quins, the game away the week before against Bristol - they're in the balance for long periods late in the game and we're just not quite seeing them off," added Baxter."We've collected points in every game, that's important and that's certainly keeping us in touch with the middle of the table which is the minimum where you want to be at this stage of the season, so I know we're okay."But if we can have a level of performances through this period now, obviously as some players get some rest, we heal up some little niggly injuries, get a couple of very important senior players back and injury free, I would like to think we could come out of this part of the season with some momentum and some freshness and get ready to attack that middle block of the season."
