    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.
    Of course it was tongue in cheek as it's patently obvious why people are staying away. Maybe you should try dishing out less admonishments yourself if you don't like them back? I've quoted the players' wages thread 2-3 times recently and in every case qualified it with "if it's to be believed" which in itself is tantamount to acknowledging it probably isn't.

    Look, the point is, all this type of quoting none sense of supposed wages, tantamount or not, serves no real purpose.

    As for dishing out, I speak as I find.

    Point taken. However, even if the actual figures are wrong it's highly likely that McWilliams is a long way down the monetary pecking order compared to Dawson and that was disparity I was trying to highlight.

    The monarch getting you to reply eh? Get your facts right pal. (Though you never do)

    Prior to LO, the previous two games were appalling to watch, as you well know. So, no I wasn’t going to use a ST and sit freezing knowing how bad it would be. And guess what, I was proved right.
    Watched at home? No I didn’t. Don’t have sky you prat!
    Saw the 10 mins highlights on the club website, 80% LO. Tells its own story.

    Perhaps when evans evntually leaves he will take you with him.

    Lets get one thing clear shall we, which points to the time honoured maxim, old heads can?t beat younger legs. (And injured old heads)

    The high tempo spoke of wouldn?t have been led by red shirts I am sure. And however welcome the two wins are, it can?t hide or patch up what has gone on before. This is why people in effect in one sense waste money and stay away. The fact we can?t put another game on so soon and struggle to keep up (I assume the O?s played on saturday!!) with them says a lot.
    And Jukes and ?pick me boss?, and plays a full game then lost for speed last night and gets a hamstring, says a lot.

    Recruitment strategy has led to a great strain on a way too much aged and under fit squad. And the recent fire sale has almost backfired too.
    Money or don?t risk going down. It nearly didn?t work.

    My worry is things will be glossed over. Evans bravado based on unsound football logic. We don?t want a repeat of this season. Those empty seats no show don?t either.

    Back to the game.....we won and there's not a lot more to say really.
    The first half was dreadful and we improved when Sibley came on (which was a forced substitution and not a tactical masterstroke by the manager) but any quality in the game was very sporadic
    The Os had the most dangerous player on the pitch (number 7) and I was amazed when they took him off.
    League 1 has always been labelled "the pub league" but this year it's actually struggling to meet even that standard.
    It really is very poor which just goes to emphasise the level we've dropped to.

    Suspect their number 7 wasn't fit (match-fit). His first burst down their right was blindingly fast but he gradually faded - thankfully. If he could maintain that pace and level of performance for 90 minutes, I don't think he'd be playing for the Orient!

    Indeed.
    That says and encompasses all reports.
    Which is what’s bothering me, like all the level headed, I care.
