MISCELLANEOUS STATS (AFKA and the much admired Salad)
This was Charlton's sixth 2-1 victory this season and the first time a winning scoreline has been repeated; Orient have lost 2-1 five times.
David Mooney's 3 goals have all been our first, but not the last, goal of a victory (so why did I bet on him being last scorer on Tuesday?!).
Scott Wagstaff's 4 goals have all been our second and final goal of a victory, although this was the first time he has given us the lead.
The average player rating of 6.29 was the lowest for a win this season.
Hartlepool's three attempts at goal were the lowest by the opposition this season.
Nicky Bailey's man of the the match score of 6.71 was the third lowest MOM score of the season, being Colchester and Carlisle away.
Orient's previous five victories have been followed by defeat to a team currently in the top 6, they won again this week so defeat to Charlton on Monday would complete the set.
Orient have only twice been behind at half-time and haven't conceded a first-half goal in their last six matches, however Charlton have the best first-half record in the league, ahead 15 times at half-time, compared to a risible 12 for Norwich and Leeds ;-)
Orient cave in and concede more goals in the last 20 minutes of games than the rest of the games put together.

Great stats as ever AFKA
I'd never thought i'd say this but Kelly is a better defender.
Haha to all those doubters, cant be that bad can he!
games started ..... 18 - 10
points per game .. 2.0 - 2.2
goals for ............. 1.9 - 2.2
goals against ...... 1.1 - 1.3
Good stuff, Salad - pretty much proves that Basey helps us create more chances, but with Youga we are more solid at the back. So Youga at LB and Basey LM could be the perfect combination!
I do agree Basey ahead of Youga at LM could be worth a go though.
Do you think Jonjo in the middle with Bailey with Semedo dropping to the bench would be feasible or desirable if Basey plays LM?
I think it would increase our attacking options without losing too much solidity as Basey, as a full back, is defensively minded and Sam, for all the flak thrown at him, also helps his full back out.
I like Semedo and think he has played well over the season but I would also like us to make full use of Jonjo while we still have him. My only doubt is whether our lack of pace in central defence could be exposed without Semedo sweeping up.
Thoughts?
Referring to earlier comment about them not letting in goals in first half but collapsing - we fans will have to be extra patient maybe!!
Big games I'm not sure we should start games like that. Like you say I'd like to see Jonjo while we have him.
We drew 3 in a row over Xmas - and with 2 successive wins since, the stats could be slewed to read 3 draws in the last 5 matches.
So deffo couldnt have current form showing won 6 drawn 2 in the last 8 games. Sorry!
Far better IMO to keep a settled team where possible, rather than chopping and changing to include Jonjo at the expense of Semedo and vice versa.
Sometimes a team needs freshening up admittedly, but best to keep a settled team unit together if it's performing and producing results.
If you use that theory then richardson shouldn't have come back in. Omo wasn't playing to bad and was part of a winning team. Now what about when sodje is back and youga do we keep the same team that have played and won the last two games? I think it was Large that said that might be a good idea and i tend to agree. I do not believe you should play the same team week in week out just because they won. I believe you put out your best team to beat a certain team and a certain system. On tuesday night we really didn't need semedo practically playing with the back 4 it made us far to defensive and streched us to much so there was no link play. Bailey was deep to against a team with one forward. We should have attacked them more and got at them its what we do best not defending.
Where they do tend to change things though is during the match itself, last 20 mins or so - or even start of second half in extreme cases, they'll tweak their favoured starting XI to suit how that particular match is developing.
Parky also appeared to change the formation around with 20 mins to go on Tuesday, dropping the fluid diamond midfield and going for more conventional width, which seemed to push us further up the pitch, bringing the best out of Semedo and Bailey's passing.
You may be right about Semedo on Tuesday ....... but he did flick on Llera's good challenging header, neatly into the path of Waggy for the winner.
Does that mean Semedo claims the assist? *smiley winky thing*
That's something we tend to do even against teams that come to park the bus.
Sure, a team playing a defensive 4-5-1 aims to clog the midfield, denying opponents time and space on the ball - you tend to do better by using width to get behind them, get your wide men to the goaline and whip the ball back with your strikers facing goal, and their defenders facing the wrong way.
In fact that's exactly how we brilliantly constructed our first goal.
I wonder if some managers, including Parky, ask the team to sit deeper against packed midfields - thus encouraging opponents to press forward. When their moves breaks down their team has lost shape, and space between their last man and keeper can be exploited for the quick counter attack.
Seems a risky strategy to me though - once opponents are within shooting distance, it only encourages them to have a pop at your goal. It only takes a deflection or even a careless clumsy penalty given away .....
Uncle, your proposal to rest a player occasionally for a low key fixture - in cup games, it happens all the time of course -
is basically sound. It might be different to constantly chop and change the team though.
Not according to AFKA.
The BBC match highlights video must be wrong then ......(!)
;o)
Listening on the commentary they said that Parky was in the technical area a few times trying to calm the players down and get them to play a little less frenetically/more deliberately.
Frankly 9 times out of 10 we should be beating teams like Hartlepool, and if Parky was trying to get the players to take their time then he was right to do so, all we needed to do was be patient and carve out a few openings, but for Llera's kamikaze defending this would have been a lot easier and assured.
I've just watched it several times Oggy and not convinced Semedo got a touch on it. Even if he did, I don't think AFKA would consider it the "last meaningful direct impact". I certainly wouldn't.
Have you also seen the video posted on the 'Video' thread, this time taken from behind the Covered End goal?
You have to be quick, as it's right at the beginning of the cut on 1 min 27 secs - but from Llera's strong header coming down very central, under challenge Semedo definitely turns a first touch 10 yard pass 45 degrees into the path of Waggy.
Here's the link:
