MATCHWATCH : Leyton Orient (h)

[Orion1871]

I feel like this team was going to have days like this. Key is how we respond and ensure it's a single bad result as opposed to a slump.

Plus, we haven't lost yet. Get Knibbs on at HT.

Knibbs isn't in the squad today.

CBC really doesn't fill me with much confidence. I'd love him to become the keeper he looked promising to be a few years ago but he lets too many in that are basic keeping.

Deservedly behind. We haven't looked at it at all.

From the OS

"There is also a welcome return to the matchday squad for duo Harvey Knibbs and David Button."

pretty bad first half, Dorsett needs to stop crosses, hes just too slow at closing down. Midfield haven't got into the game at all, and none of the forwards doing anything either. Keeper doesn't inspire, seems to make mistakes regularly

[Snowflake Royal]

Dorsett is playing a little like he doesn't want to be LB, but knows there's no competition for his place there. He's closing down of the winger and cross has been poor all season. That one the other week when he just ignored the man on shout and ambled out to the wing only to be completely left in the dust of a guy who started 10 yards further from the ball than he did.

[WestYorksRoyal]

Want to support our kids, but no evidence so far suggests CBC is good enough.

[Snowflake Royal]

Well that should have been a goal.

I hate this league. So many small clubs who just time waste against us

We’d be doing exactly the same if we were bottom of the league without a point to our name. who then suddenly find themselves one nil up against a side just outside the playoffs.

[Snowflake Royal]

Ahh jimmy, lacking class at all times.

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Soon as we start passing it through midfield we come alive

[From Despair To Where?]

Ahh jimmy, lacking class at all times.

Tinpot Jimmy rears his ugly head again at the first sign of a setback.

Is it me or is Sam Smith a bit shit? I know he's not getting that much service but...

I'll get me coat

He's not really big enough, strong enough or quick enough to be a target man. He can't really run in behind, he can't win his headers and he can't win a physical battle and hold it up. He's a massive nuisance, but we're playing like he's a 6'4" brick shit house. And he isn't.

[Bristol Paul]

second half no better so far and some real 3 out of 10 performances, Dorsett, Craig, Elliott all been really poor but nobody more than a 5. 15 mins left, so time to change it but not.looking good.

[WestYorksRoyal]

Just need a moment of luck or quality. Was it Bolton last season where we were shit for 75 minutes but won?

[Bristol Paul]

wtf is Mbengue doing keep smacking the ball long down the middle? FFS

[John Madejski's Wallet]

WTAF would you take off Kelvin, who our only decent attacks went through, and the only one who could win anything in the air, and leave Smith on?

[Snowflake Royal]

Well that was quite dreadful. Couldn't pass for toffee. On the other hand, the only thing that actually separated the teams was a goalkeeping howler.

[Bristol Paul]

woeful. absolutely no positives from that and completely outplayed by a team who have been terrible so far this season. Like going back 12 months.

[Bristol Paul]

WTAF would you take off Kelvin, who our only decent attacks went through, and the only one who could win anything in the air, and leave Smith on?

Kelvin had been just as useless as the rest of them to be fair.
