Leyton Orient Post Match Thoughts

[avondalemiller]

It was a game played at 90mph, and we were lucky to stay with them at that tempo. We looked better in the 2nd half at closing them down. Trying to play fancy football from the back in L1 doesn't work, players aren't good enough.

They were a very fluid team going forwards, and maybe have beaten many teams this way. I said at h/t it was going to end with only 1 goal....

Their 22 Galbraith was excellent, i saw him at Donny on loan frrom Man U, where was our scouts? Orient have just turned down over ?1M for him...........

Was Wellens suspended? Their coach with the bald head was constantly looking up towards the gantry for divine instructions.................utm.

Enjoyable evening, happy with that. We played well, everybody put a shift in, think Pelly being singled out is a tad harsh. Nothing spectacular but they all mucked in, Nombe in particular. Another big step closer to ensuring we're still in League One next season.

We rode our luck at times, on a couple of occasions some slack defending wasn't punished by Orient being unable to finish chances it looked harder to score. They have lost 4 in a row now so maybe we caught them at the right time when things just aren't clicking into place for them.

Was good to see Kayode come on and he looked promising, lets hope he can stay fit and continues to build on this and get some confidence. I think once he scores then more will follow and we'll really see what he can do.

As stated earlier, lots of empty seats tonight, raised an eyebrow at the attendance being over 8000, do they count all the ST holders that didn't bother turning out?

Lots of empty seats tonight again. People don’t like what is being served up.

How do you know that? Maybe the draw of the blockbuster episode of Emmerdale tonight was just too much to resist. Wise up!

Are you a season ticket holder? Oops. Wise up yourself.

Just may be if you came and sat in the stands you would find out. Mimd you, what would block out the view to the seat behind, the head or that crown?

We still got to see Mr. Wilkes...

Compared to the recent rubbish that's been served up, last night was relatively enjoyable. Thought Nombe was excellent again, though his miss from a yard out was inexcusable. McWilliams covered the RB slot well but Mpanzu left him woefully exposed in the second half. JJ looks the business. He's bulked up, is very mobile and is excellent in the air - more please! Our thin cover at the back might scupper our promotion push!!

Hope Rafferty he's over his illness for Wrexham then move Mcwilliams into midfield. Sibley for Mcpanzu. Can't do much else than play 3 up front assuming Humphreys will be at centre back.

Presumably he knows that because he goes to the games and hears what a lot of supporters are saying.
Based on the comments of what a lot of people round me have been saying, he's probably right.
Far more empty seats than normal last night and I would estimate there were fewer than 6000 people actually in the ground.

Quite right.
I like many didn?t go to sit freezing watching that rubbish. And yes, like many who didn?t go I am prepaid.
It?s cost affective to miss odd games.

I must admit I don?t like being admonished by a absent fake monarch, who knows little of what goes off, swings from opinion to differing opinion.
Having said that, the queen of sheba will probably say it was tongue in cheek or irony, making a perceived point perversely.

You didn?t have to be there, the footage showed the lack of bodies.
