On the plus side, there's no money to spend without selling
Should you be saying that?
I added a caveat
If that’s true (and I will assume it is) then my fear that it is not a decision to keep Evatt more a necessity due to lack of money becomes a real possibility. Next season scares me in that scenario.
It might be more that Ian has to make his own funds given what he’s wasted/spent to date.

Santos is always exposed due to our formation, Baxter didn't do anything to help the situation as he was closing down a ball that was never his to go for.

Why are we not hitting the ball when we're in their box?

It's the second game were we've been pushing it to the wings for a cross and tap in.

If you score you've given the ball away, and that won't do.

Remember when we beat these 7-0, a century ago? Fairly sure we didn’t fanny around that time?

Playing down the wing and cutting balls back isn’t a bad idea, we just never execute it properly.

Some superb triangles with Baxter here. Winning without winning I say.

Fair play to Exeter they’ve stopped santos putting his foot on the ball and standing still pointing. Nailed that one tactically

Orient going in front (to nil, again) means as it stands we’re now three points behind Richie Wellens and his much less expensive team

A goal for Lincoln and another for Exeter and we'll be bottom half.

Superb run and excellently executed ball just behind the wing back again by Thomason. We work on that one!

Like I wrote a couple of days ago, all the systems in the world don’t help if your players pass it five yards behind their mates

And it'll be a success when we avoid relegation this season.

It ain't happening Sharon. Time for action.

How can the ref let them take a shot before pulling play back?
