If Halstead is absent through the concussion protocol then he can't be named in the squad.

To Exeter City you can add AFC Wimbledon and Wycombe Wanderers, Chesterfield are also fan owned.

Maybe get Luke Paco Barton to organise it.

Most fans were happy because they didn't, and couldn't know of Dawson's fitness issues. Johnson surely did know and at least the club should have given him a medical.
Like the case with Hall, if you have a limited budget it is unwise to spend it on players with limited availability.

I don't think he extended the contracts of the failing players, they are already in long term deals. I think only Hall and Moxey signed new contracts and Ash, Da Silva, Stobbs and Dawson are new signings.
I would put a question mark against re-signing Hall because if your budget is limited you can't afford the luxury of players who are going to have limited availability.

Which goes to show friendly results are meaningless.

I think it is Dominic Mee, he is an employee of the club, not a volunteer.

Pity Gary Johnson doesn't feel the same way.

At least Liam Davis managed to put in two seasons for us before he got crocked.
