themanchestereveningnews--2020-09-26--Evatt on Bolton loss vs Newport, Wanderers a 'bag of Revels' and poor mentality

Bolton Wanderers suffered their fifth successive defeat of the season this afternoon at the hands of Newport County .
Wanderers lost 2-0 at the University of Bolton Stadium against the Exiles after Tristan Abrahams struck twice following half-time .
The result leaves the Trotters 22nd in the League Two table , above Grimsby Town and Southend United .
After the match , Bolton boss Ian Evatt spoke to the press and here 's a round-up of what he had to say .
Are there many positives to take out of that ?
“ There ’ s not many .
Probably @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first one .
We showed the most energy and desire that we did all day and the we get the goal and then that was disallowed and then the energy and life was drained out of us again .
The first 20 minutes we rode our luck with set pieces , which we knew they were physically strong from set pieces .
`` Most League Two teams are .

`` For me , we ’ re not working hard enough .

`` We ’ re not doing that well enough either .

How do you fix that when the confidence is so low ?

After the match, Bolton boss Ian Evatt spoke to the press and here's a round-up of what he had to say.
Are there many positives to take out of that?
“There’s not many. Probably the five minutes after they scored the first one. We showed the most energy and desire that we did all day and the we get the goal and then that was disallowed and then the energy and life was drained out of us again. The first 20 minutes we rode our luck with set pieces, which we knew they were physically strong from set pieces.
"Most League Two teams are. We didn’t deal with that well enough but then we ride that storm and we looked like we were taking over the game. We miss two or three chances again which should be goals. Same old story, get to half-time and you’re trying to lift the players and then we concede two poor goals again.
"For me, we’re not working hard enough. We’re not making our own luck by working hard enough. We are lacking confidence from poor results, 100%. We need to do more, but when things aren’t going right, you have to roll up your sleeves, you have to win tackles, win second balls, win headers and do the ugly side of the game well.
"We’re not doing that well enough either. Mentally we need to be stronger. I think our mentality’s poor at the moment."
How do you fix that when the confidence is so low?
“I’ll have to pick players that are going to show me that desire to win. Now they might not be technically the best players for the system or the shape or the opposition, but if they give me 100% desire and commitment and work their nuts off then that might be the best way forward at the moment.

"Last Saturday I was pleased, it was much better. Today, it’s back to square one and it’s the inconsistencies.
"This is frustrating as a coach, matchday to matchday, I don’t know what I’m going to get. We are a bag of Revels, we are one minute the coffee Revel, the next minute the Malteser, I don’t know what we’re going to get, I genuinely don’t know what we’re going to get and we have to be more consistent.
"But first and foremost, we have to be mentally tougher and stronger."
Thoughts on the two new signings brought in?
“Obviously we needed some more attacking players. Lloyd (Isgrove) won the division last year. He’s very talented and has a very good relationship with Eoin Doyle in terms of assists and we’re hoping they can replicate that this season.
"Arthur (Gnahoua) is a very talented boy, he can shoot and dribble off both feet, has pace and power which we’re probably lacking at the top end of the pitch at times so again they are another option for me. We are still figuring it out."
A big call with Nathan Delfouneso's disallowed goal?
“To be honest, I don’t want to say too much and I don’t like making excuses, but it’s just the way things are going for us at the moment. Football has a funny way sometimes of punishing you when you’re at your lowest.
"A referee who is a yard away says no handball. A linesman who is the opposite side with 10 to 15 bodies in front of him somehow sees it and gives handball. It’s frustrating. It would have changed the game completely, but it is what it is and that side we have to be better and do more.
"Nathan thinks it was a goal. The referee thinks it was a goal who was a yard away and right in front of it. Again it’s frustrating but it is what it is. There’s nothing we can do about it now."

themanchestereveningnews--2020-09-26--The schoolboy whose hoover obsession has turned into a business venture

An eight year-old schoolboy with an intense passion for vacuum cleaners says he dreams of becoming the next James Dyson after starting his own home business cleaning and fixing them .
Ollie Grundy has been fascinated with the household appliance since he was a toddler , when he started making cardboard models of them .
Over lockdown he persuaded his parents to allow him to start letting locals in Tameside drop theirs off at the family home for him to take apart , clean and put back together .
And he has earned hundreds of pounds in a matter of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ started a crowd-funding campaign and raised enough to buy him his own top of the range model as a thank you .
He now says he wants to invent his own model from scratch when he 's older like the billionaire tycoon Dyson .
Ollie , from Hyde , who has recently been assessed for autism , has always been obsessed with vacuum cleaners since getting a plastic toy one as a 10 month old baby his family say .
Rather than computer games , sport or other hobbies , he has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more recently dismantling , exploring and fixing them .
After moving into a bigger home over the summer Ollie 's mum Emma , succumbed to his request to put a shout out on social media for anyone to drop off their vaccums .
For just £3 Ollie , who lives with mum Emma , 32 , dad Stuart , 34 , and sisters , Evie-Mai , 10 , and Bonnie-Lou , two , takes it apart , cleans it and puts in an air freshner .
And he has had so many requests @ @ @ @ @ @ @ away .
`` He 's always had this fascination with them , as long as we can remember '' Emma said .
`` Probably since he started walking about when he was about 10 months old and we bought him his first little plastic toy one from the shop .
`` He 's just been absolutely fascinated ever since . ''
`` He 's not interested in things most eight year-olds are ; TV , Playstations , he does n't do any of that .
He 's not even interested in football '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It 's the first thing he asks you , 'what hoover you have got ? '
`` He 's being assessed for autism at the moment , I think with autistic kids having some kind of fascination that they get , or an obsession , I think could be part of the reason .
`` He just loves the way they are , mechanically what they do and they way they get built .
`` He 's not so keen on the noise .
But he loves to make them look new , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ try and fix them .
He just knows everything about them '' Oliie told us : `` I have liked them since I was one years-old .
`` I like how they work .
I like to take them apart and see what 's inside and if I can fix them and make them look their very best . ''
Asked how he was finding life as a businessman he said : `` I have enjoyed it . ''
`` It 's bizarre to some people , they laugh when you tell them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' Emma said .
`` But I always say we should n't laugh because if he ends up a millionaire you wo n't be laughing then ! ''
Flowery Field Primary school pupil Oliie has already turned his fascination into a thriving little business venture .
`` He mithers me all the time for people 's hoovers .
At the old place we just did n't have the space .
We would borrow friends or family 's hoovers .
But now we 've moved , and throughout lockdown he was knocking on neighbours @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and he kept mithering me to put something online .
It was all his idea .
`` So I put a post on Facebook and it has just gone absolutely wild . ''
Following Emma 's advert in local groups , they were inundated with people dropping off their vacuum to get his special treatment .
He made over £200 in a matter of days after the post went live and now has over 100 customers .
Ollie takes apart every hoover he 's given as much as he can , makes sure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ filters and then it gives them a thorough clean including using cotton buds in hard to reach places , removing any blockages before re-assembling them and putting in a vacuum air freshner .
He can also put new belts in them if needed .
Ollie , who has five vacuums of his own , had been saving up his money to buy the the Apex model of Shark vacumm cleaners .

`` The only issue has been the room and where to put them all .

`` They have really gone the extra mile with the fundraising as well .
They did n't want him to do all this work then spend it on a hoover but I said to them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` I was so excited for him , for the community to do that for him it meant so much . ''
Organiser Rebecca O'Brien now says they hope to raise enough to build him his own workshop .

United player ratings vs Brighton
Manchester United secured their first victory of the 2020/21 Premier League season on Saturday lunchtime. It did not come without its fair share of drama, though, as Brighton hit the woodwork five times.
Marcus Rashford scored a brilliant solo goal to put United 2-1 up before Bruno Fernandes netted a penalty in the dying stages after Brighton thought they had grabbed a point late on.
Thus, United were fortunate to come away with the three points.
Nevertheless, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side showed excellent character and determination to rescue the victory late on and they will be hoping to improve as they gain greater match sharpness through playing more games.
The player ratings reflected an inconsistent performance, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Mason Greenwood, Paul Pogba, and Victor Lindelof all rated at a 5/10 or lower.
Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes was named the United Man of the Match with an 8/10 rating after he notched a goal, assist, and provided a terrific delivery for United’s equaliser.

United fans make Rashford comparison
Amid the drama of the win over Brighton, Rashford scored a brilliant solo goal on the counter-attack. After being released by Fernandes down the left flank, in behind an exposed Brighton backline with Ben White isolated, Rashford drove towards the penalty area.
He first dummied inside White, who slid in to block what he thought would be a shot. Rashford then sat White down again, dummying a shot for the second time, pulling the ball back onto his left foot. The Englishman finally unleashed his shot off his left side, with four Brighton defenders in the penalty area but none able to get close enough to block the shot.
It was a brilliant run, dribble, and finish from Rashford, and United fans likened the moment to another searing winger who used to score such goals.
“Is that Cristiano Ronaldo or Marcus Rashford? My word,” one fan wrote on Twitter. “Cristiano Rashford!” another proclaimed.
Certainly, his goal was reminiscent of Ronaldo, which will only delight United supporters.
Solskjaer believes he does not need centre-back
As the international transfer window draws towards its final week, United’s need for a centre-back is yet to be filled. But, despite conceding five goals in their opening two Premier League games this term and looking extremely shaky thus far, Solskjaer believes that United do not need to add another centre-back.
Speaking after the Brighton victory, in which Solskjaer introduced Eric Bailly late on to secure the three points, the United manager praised his current options.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-09-26--"You liked it" - Disgusting boasts of serial groper

A serial groping pensioner who fondled testicles and squeezed buttocks told one of his victims : 'you liked it ' .
A court was told Clement Martin , 73 , had `` a strong sexual appetite '' despite his age .
His victims were both men and women .
Martin , of no fixed address , admitted four counts of sexual assault and one of attempted assault .
He was with a man , his first victim , when the man told Martin a woman would be joining them later that evening .
Martin replied `` I 'd love to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told such comments were inappropriate , he said that he did n't care .
He then asked the man for help to light a cigarette , before grabbing one of his buttocks and squeezing with his hand .
The victim was shocked and pulled away , then remonstrated with Martin , but the OAP replied `` you liked it '' and accused him of having an erection , which the man denied .
Martin then became aggressive `` for no apparent reason '' and threatened the victim and another man , telling them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bones '' .
Attempts to calm him down failed and Martin armed himself with a small knife , which he eventually handed over , before saying he wanted to go to jail .
Police were contacted and the second man revealed Martin had also previously tried to sexually assault him , by attempting to touch his testicles .
However , prosecuting solicitor , Sarah Holt said when the second man told him `` choose your next move very wisely '' Martin had retreated .
On another occasion , Martin asked a third man @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to roll a cigarette .
Ms Holt said : `` As he approached the defendant , the defendant leaned forward and grabbed his testicles and fondled them . ''
She said the man told Martin to stop and shouted : `` What are you doing , you dirty b*****d ? ''
The victim was shocked and disgusted , but Ms Holt said Martin `` merely laughed and mumbled something unintelligible '' .
On another occasion , Martin attacked a fourth man , when Martin moved his hand onto the victim 's thigh and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't make a police statement , was reported to be shocked and pushed Martin away .
But he did exactly the same thing again , telling him `` you liked it , you had a hard on '' , and laughed as he said it .
The court heard Martin also grabbed the bottom of a woman on a separate occasion .
When arrested , he was described as being `` calm and compliant '' , made no reply , and was taken for an interview .
Accompanied by an appropriate adult , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ allegations were true and he did grab his buttocks `` because he had a nice bum '' .
He said he was homosexual and the first victim must have been too , because he did n't try and stop him from touching him , and gave him `` the come on '' .
Martin made a number of other false claims and accused his first two victims of lying .
The court heard he agreed that he said he wanted to have sex with the woman and claimed he was bi-sexual .
Ms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her bottom and said that it boiled down to him having a very strong sexual appetite , despite his age . ''
Martin accepted touching the second victim and touching the fourth 's leg against his wishes and moving his hand to his groin .
However , by the time he was asked about his attack on the third victim he had `` disengaged with the interview process '' .
Ms Holt said : `` For the remainder of the interview , he sat in silence or with his hands over his ears @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claimed not to have molested the third victim adding that he `` was really ugly and did n't turn him on '' .
The court heard Martin has 13 previous convictions for 14 offences , mostly in the 1960s and 1970s , which do not include any sexual offences .
He was last convicted of battery in March , when he was jailed for eight weeks .
Ms Holt said an allegation of a sexual nature was made against Martin , which led to police being called to the scene .

Marcus Rashford has urged Manchester United to start games better and improve their overall performance level in the Premier League.
United have fallen behind in both their league games so far, going on to lose 3-1 at home to Crystal Palace and then rescuing a 3-2 win at Brighton.
Yet their performances have left plenty to be desired, with United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitting his side did not merit all three points at the Amex Stadium. They salvaged the win through a Bruno Fernandes penalty with the final kick of the game, after Rashford had put them 2-1 up earlier on in the second half.
“We have to use these three points as motivation to improve and keep getting better," Rashford told MUTV after the win. "We have to improve if we want to hit our targets for the season.
“We had a slow start in the last league game and it’s more important to pick up points. It’s more important that we lost the first league game, we had to win today.
“It doesn’t matter how we won, we got the three points and we’ll move forward and improve.”
Rashford lauded United's spirit for fighting back to win, with Harry Maguire forcing Neal Maupay to handle the ball in the box and Fernandes scoring the spot-kick.
"We were definitely lucky to get the three points," he added. "But even when they equalised we showed a lot of character and desire to keep pushing forward. We forced a corner out of nothing, a throw-in on the left-side.
“It was Harry’s determination to win the ball, he won the penalty for us and Bruno tucked it away.”

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is still not fully fit despite recovering from coronavirus.
Pogba was substituted just after the hour mark in the second Premier League match running after another subdued performance in United's 3-2 win at Brighton.
The 27-year-old tested positive for covid-19 last month and started training with United just over two weeks ago and was selected in the starting XI against Crystal Palace last week but struggled.
Despite Pogba's form, United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes the Frenchman will have benefited from his two starts.
"He missed a lot of pre-season because of his illness," Solskjaer said. "He's not had internationals or the friendly against Villa. The two 65 minutes he's had will help him along and he'll just get better and better."
On the transfer front, United remain in hot pursuit of Porto left-back Alex Tells and Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho.
A recap of today's United news.

Manchester City lost their first home game of the new Premier Leagueseason against Leicester City, losing 5-2 to the Foxes.
City beat Wolves in their first fixture on Monday before a young side overcame Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup on Thursday. Now, the quick turnaround of fixtures continues with the visit of 2016 Premier League champions Leicester, who went top of the table with their win.
Pep Guardiola was dealt a blow with the injury to Gabriel Jesus on Monday, with the Brazilian out for a month and Sergio Aguero still unavailable. That leaves no fit senior striker, meaning City will have to play someone out of position or call on youngster Liam Delap again.
Guardiola was able to play Raheem Sterling, but after Riyad Mahrez had given them the lead, a Jamie Vardy hat-trick and James Maddison screamer sealed a win for Leicester. Nathan Ake got a consolation back with his first City goal, before Youri Tielemans added Leicester's fifth from the spot.

The late winner gave United their first points of the new Premier League season, and while fans rightfully celebrated a gripping win on the south coast, there was an underpinning sense of worry regarding the way in which they played.
Very few of the United team covered themselves in glory with their performances at the Amex Stadium, while the dire defensive work raised even more transfer concerns ahead of the summer deadline early next month.
However, it would be ludicrous not to celebrate such a gripping victory and after the game United fans took to social media to share their delight.
While there was praise for Marcus Rashford and Fernandes for their roles in the win, there was also trolling of Brighton's Neal Maupay after his celebration earlier in the game.
After executing a brilliant Panenka penalty beyond David de Gea to give Brighton a 1-0 lead, the French forward channelled compatriot Kylian Mbappe by emulating his iconic crying face celebration.
The show of confidence understandably enraged many United fans and they were keen to give it back to Maupay when his Brighton side emerged from the match empty handed.
