themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-10--Evatt on the Grimsby draw, explaining Hickman substitution and Bolton's season

Bolton Wanderers drew 0-0 against Grimsby Town this afternoon in League Two .
Neither side was able to break the deadlock at the University of Bolton Stadium .
It means Wanderers are now unbeaten in their last two League Two fixtures and have picked up their first clean sheet of the campaign .
After the match , Wanderers head coach Ian Evatt spoke to the press and here 's the highlights of what he had to say .
“ It ’ s frustrating .
I think we were good at times , we created enough final third entries to then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , our final ball was awful .
`` We hit the first man far too many times or we chose the wrong option in terms of whether to make an extra pass or whether to shoot and commit .
`` Our decision making was really off in the final third .
I think if we ’ d have got one , they ’ d have crumbled and we ’ d have won the game comfortably .
`` There ’ s obviously positives with the clean sheet .
However I do feel that it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have to do better and more in the final third . ''
“ No but I decided to change because I was disappointed with both of their deliveries , both Jamie ( Mascoll ) and ( Jak ) Hickman and they both had enough opportunities to get the ball in the right areas , we work on it in training and we ’ ve seen it in training .
`` However , today they hit the first man too often and we were making fundamental errors in that final third so we decided @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you put into context the start of the League Two season now we ’ re five games in ?
“ It ’ s very much a work in progress .
Obviously we ’ re nowhere near where we want to be or where I think we ’ ll end up .
I think we ’ re heading in the right direction , we look better defensively , but we are consistently inconsistent still .
`` I see flashes of brilliance but I don ’ t see it often enough .
We have to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to get back to moving the ball with tempo and with positivity and working on the things and doing the things , implementing them from the training ground onto the pitch .
`` Honestly if I showed you what they do on the training pitch , you ’ d be amazed and then for whatever reason , whatever excuse they want to give , they ’ re not doing it here on a Saturday and we have to make make sure that we change that , we have to be stronger mentally , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anything like strong enough mentally . ''
Did you enjoy coming up against your old manager Ian Holloway ?
“ No , because I ’ ve got earache !
He ’ s a wonderful man and I think the world of him and what he gave me and my career and my life in general and what he taught me , the lessons I learnt were fantastic and I ’ ve got nothing but admiration and respect for him . ''
The way you came off at half-time , the platform was there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Half-time came at the wrong time for us .
I think we were really starting to dominate and I think physically they ’ d started to tire and the 15 minutes at half-time enabled them to recover and have another dig at it .
`` When it stays at 0-0 for so long , they almost get a second wind because they ’ ve got something to hang on to .
`` I think if we ’ d have got one goal , I think they ’ d have really crumbled and we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but credit to them , they kept going after two weeks not training .
`` There was obviously a lot of tired bodies from them .
We knew that they could probably match for 60 minutes and after that we should take over the game , we actually took over the game earlier , but we just didn ’ t score and that was down to poor decision making in the final third . ''

It means Wanderers are now unbeaten in their last two League Two fixtures and have picked up their first clean sheet of the campaign.
After the match, Wanderers head coach Ian Evatt spoke to the press and here's the highlights of what he had to say.
Initial reaction?
“It’s frustrating. I think we were good at times, we created enough final third entries to then warrant us hurting the opposition. However, our final ball was awful.
"We hit the first man far too many times or we chose the wrong option in terms of whether to make an extra pass or whether to shoot and commit.
"Our decision making was really off in the final third. I think if we’d have got one, they’d have crumbled and we’d have won the game comfortably.
"There’s obviously positives with the clean sheet. However I do feel that it’s two points dropped. We have to do better and more in the final third."
Was Jak Hickman injured?
“No but I decided to change because I was disappointed with both of their deliveries, both Jamie (Mascoll) and (Jak) Hickman and they both had enough opportunities to get the ball in the right areas, we work on it in training and we’ve seen it in training.
"However, today they hit the first man too often and we were making fundamental errors in that final third so we decided to change it."
How do you put into context the start of the League Two season now we’re five games in?
“It’s very much a work in progress. Obviously we’re nowhere near where we want to be or where I think we’ll end up. I think we’re heading in the right direction, we look better defensively, but we are consistently inconsistent still.
"I see flashes of brilliance but I don’t see it often enough. We have to get back to basics. We have to get back to moving the ball with tempo and with positivity and working on the things and doing the things, implementing them from the training ground onto the pitch.

The way you came off at half-time, the platform was there to build on you feel?
"Half-time came at the wrong time for us. I think we were really starting to dominate and I think physically they’d started to tire and the 15 minutes at half-time enabled them to recover and have another dig at it.
"When it stays at 0-0 for so long, they almost get a second wind because they’ve got something to hang on to.

Singer-songwriter Lucy Spraggan has wowed fans with her incredible body transformation after ditching alcohol.
The former X Factor star recently revealed that she had lost three and a half stone after giving up booze and falling in love with exercise.
The 29-year-old, who celebrated one year sober in July, is now running a half marathon every week as well as keeping fit with cardiovascular exercise, strength and conditioning training and Crossfit.
"The only time I ran before was for the ice cream van," she joked.

Lucy, from Stockport, now trains six days a week and says she 'loves' her gym-honed body.
But she's still adjusting to the drastic change in her appearance.
Asked about how she feels about her body now, she said: "I love it. But I have some days where I look in the mirror and I see a fat person, because that's how I spent my life and it takes adjusting to."
The singer has been seeing a therapist to keep these thoughts in check after noticing that they had been 'creeping in.' She believes this is her brain's response to her body overhaul.
"I hated my body," she admitted.

"I never wore a bikini and always wore baggy clothes.
"I was always trying some stupid diet that didn't work when really I just needed to learn about nutrition."
Now Lucy, who has launched an online exercise plan Fully Rewired, says she now listens to her body and eats whatever she likes.
"I eat a lot of chocolate," she said.
"I eat the things I want and if I want to eat cake I will.
"I ate three quarters of a birthday cake because I wanted to."

"To hear the the northern leaders in that press conference say those things, that was a breath of fresh air and it’s refreshing to hear people are listening.

"We are perceived to be an easy sacrificial lamb."
Asked what his hopes for the near future were, Mr Greenhow said: "The hope is, one of two things happen.
"We want to work, we want to get back to service, but if the absolute state of the situation means we cannot, then we have to be supported.

Face masks should be mandatory in offices and outdoors where social distancing is not possible .
That 's the latest recommendation from the British Medical Association .
The BMA has compiled a list of measures it would like to see introduced to try to bring the soaring coronavirus rate back down , the Mirror reports .

As the Government prepares to unveil a new three-tiered system of coronavirus restrictions on Monday , the doctors ' trade union body has published a list of recommendations it says could reduce the nation 's level of infection while providing people with the confidence they need to go out safely and boost the economy .
The BMA 's council chairman , Dr Chaand Nagpaul , said the inconsistency of the Government 's messaging once the first lockdown was lifted had played a part in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said : `` The infection has risen following rapid relaxation of measures and with the Westminster Government letting down its guard - as recently as August , the government was encouraging people to travel , go to work and mix in restaurants and pubs .

`` It must also provide the financial support businesses need to enable them to make premises and settings Covid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'Covid secure ' means . ''
Dr Nagpaul added there was 'inconsistency ' in directions relating to the wearing of face masks and how and when to mix socially .
He said : `` With admissions to hospitals for Covid climbing rapidly in parts of England , there is an opportunity for the Westminster Government to bring in simple stronger restrictions alongside the introduction of its ... three-tiered approach .

• None Modifying the current 'rule of six ' with the rule that only two households can meet , and those should not exceed six people , ideally outdoors rather than indoors • None Making the wearing of face masks mandatory in all offices and working environments , unless you are working alone • None Making people wear masks in all outdoor settings where two-metre distancing is not possible • None Providing financial support to businesses , retail and hospitality settings to enable them to make premises Covid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'Covid secure ' means • None Providing medical grade masks , free of charge , to those who are over 60 or in a vulnerable group , as recommended by the World Health Organisation • None Providing masks free of charge to those who are exempt from prescription charges and also at the entrance of all public settings if a person has not brought one • None Adding more functionality to the NHS Test and Trace app to give people more detailed information on infection rates in their area including actual figures of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Nagpaul added : `` We know that with the right public behaviour and renewed public confidence , the infection can be brought under control , given that we had less than 500 new cases a day in mid-July .

The BMA's council chairman, Dr Chaand Nagpaul, said the inconsistency of the Government's messaging once the first lockdown was lifted had played a part in the resurgence of the virus.
He said: "The infection has risen following rapid relaxation of measures and with the Westminster Government letting down its guard - as recently as August, the government was encouraging people to travel, go to work and mix in restaurants and pubs.
"The Government has a duty to regain the public's confidence and faith in measures being taken to get the spread of the virus back under control.
"It must also provide the financial support businesses need to enable them to make premises and settings Covid secure while providing clear rules on what 'Covid secure' means."
Dr Nagpaul added there was 'inconsistency' in directions relating to the wearing of face masks and how and when to mix socially.
He said: "With admissions to hospitals for Covid climbing rapidly in parts of England, there is an opportunity for the Westminster Government to bring in simple stronger restrictions alongside the introduction of its ... three-tiered approach.

"We have drawn on a range of expertise from within the BMA to publish a set of recommendations which we feel, if introduced very quickly, could have a positive effect."
The BMA's recommendations include:
Modifying the current 'rule of six' with the rule that only two households can meet, and those should not exceed six people, ideally outdoors rather than indoors
Making the wearing of face masks mandatory in all offices and working environments, unless you are working alone
Making people wear masks in all outdoor settings where two-metre distancing is not possible
Providing financial support to businesses, retail and hospitality settings to enable them to make premises Covid secure and provide clear rules on what 'Covid secure' means
Providing medical grade masks, free of charge, to those who are over 60 or in a vulnerable group, as recommended by the World Health Organisation
Providing masks free of charge to those who are exempt from prescription charges and also at the entrance of all public settings if a person has not brought one
Adding more functionality to the NHS Test and Trace app to give people more detailed information on infection rates in their area including actual figures of rates of infection and trends.
Dr Nagpaul added: "We know that with the right public behaviour and renewed public confidence, the infection can be brought under control, given that we had less than 500 new cases a day in mid-July.
"We are having to swallow a very bitter pill of the infection continuing to spread at a perilous rate.
"Stronger measures brought in now could be a far sweeter pill in the long run for far more people."

A man was spotted wearing a Bluetooth headset during his driving theory test - before admitting he 'd been trying to cheat having 'failed on many occasions ' .
'Desperate ' Osman Bhrelden was approached by an invigilator after the device was spotted .
The test was stopped .
The 32-year-old , from Fallowfield , later said he had bought the headset for £200 ‘ from a man outside the test centre ’ , Manchester Magistrates ' Court heard .

His lawyer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The warehouse operative pleaded guilty to being in possession of a Bluetooth device for use in a fraud in the offence .

Bhrelden has no previous convictions and hasn't committed an offence since.

"He was a man of good character and has remained trouble free for two and a half years,” he added.

The moment hooded vandals smashed up a community arts organisation's van in a random attack that has left volunteers baffled and heartbroken was caught on camera.
A brick was launched at the Ford Transit van, which the group uses to ferry equipment, cracking its windscreen and shattering the driver's side window.
The vehicle was outside a director's house in west Gorton. He said he cannot understand why the groups has been targeted and said he believes it must have been a case of mistaken identity.
Global Grooves, based in Mossley in Tameside, is a community group which helps organise carnivals and other music, dance and visual arts events.
The van is used to transport equipment, props, instruments, puppets and costumes to and from events.
Now it has been taken off the road following the random attack while it was parked outside director Eraldo Marques' home in west Gorton.
CCTV footage from neighbouring properties shows two people pull up in a white van before getting out and hurling a brick at the windows before driving off.
Eraldo, 40 - who moved to the UK from Brazil in 2004 to join Global Grooves - was with his partner and 11 month old baby at their home on Trowtree Avenue when the incident happened at around 6pm on Thursday (October 8).
"My neighbour came and told me 'someone is smashing your van'," Eraldo said.
"I looked out and just saw the windows shattered and glass everywhere.
"All the neighbours ran out. A few told me they had footage and have given it to me.
"I have reported it to police but they have said without the registration it will be difficult.
"I just don't understand it.
"It was parked in its normal spot where it has always been for three or four years so it can't be to do with parking.
"The thing that worries me is that there is no motive. It's so extreme, did they think I am someone else?
"When I was cleaning up the glass I was on edge and constantly looking around in case someone was watching."
The group now faces a costly insurance excess bill.
Eraldo says it is a bitter blow for an organisation already feeling the effects of the pandemic.
"We have lost virtually all our funding and are just surviving on money from the government via the arts council," he said.
"So this is not what we need.
"We're already feeling quite low and this has made us even lower. It's knocked our confidence even further.
"We're just heartbroken."
