But that's because he got it right at Brisbane Road. I just wish some would come out and acknowledge it for the sake of balance.

I don't know about you but I think it's clear why there was a difference - and no, not because Yeovil were great and Orient poor.
It's that old problem we have whereby if a team denies us space to play, compresses the game and shuts us down, we are stifled and struggle. Yeovil did that, Orient didn't.
I recall Cheltenham did the same at their place. It will be interesting to see if they adopt the same energetic style tomorrow.

I guess it is a compliment to us in a way that teams set up against us to do this, even if it is frustrating that we don't appear to be able to combat it. But we are not alone, it happens to the best. Anyone recall Man City's Champions League encounter a month or so ago in Glasgow?? Celtic gained a creditable draw that night applying similar tactics that Man City seemed powerless to defy.
Does that make Guardiola poor, clueless ........... woeful??

I think we will win tomorrow with lessons learned.

Nah! Not having some of that!!

3 points:

I defo came out and said it!

Same could be said of those who wax lyrical after one win but say little about the run of 7 without

One win against LO away, though a good win, but a team who have not had a result at home for 6 before our visit is hardly vindication?!?!

Oh and point 4. LO were better than Yeovil, so work that one out folks, but both were poo.

(in my LO reply post to Somerset, I did mention the "team that only wins", the one he picked v LO but hadn't since last win. I must be a genius )
