It's a really dreadful league this year and we are very much included in that unfortunately.

Just like Burton and Cambridge then.

It should be Chem on the right, DK up top, and Alfie in the 10 role. Why can't Appleton see that this is obvious?!?

Well,  one good thing,  at least we won't be conceding a goal at five to five this afternoon.

We are too btw. This game is dross 

Chunes

Wonder which 20 minute period of this game the lads will decide to switch into gear for. No doubt when we go a goal down.

Was tempted to buy the stream, sounds like a good decision not to 

Redvalleyeast

Not a great game atm but we should be ahead. This ref is so bad

SELR_addicks

Is it just our games or is League One in general this poor? 

Defies belief that this is the third tier of English football and not miles lower.

It obviously not working how he started the team, and still not working how he has changed it

They’re shit and we know we are.

44 mins. Orient shot from 25 yards from a quick thrown in. Easily saved by AMB

45 mins. Really close offside call against CBT. Would have led to an open goal chance for May from 6 yards.

Chunes

Great pass from Dobson there. CBT didn't look offside. Kind of pass you'd hope Fraser would be regularly making for us.

Nah, he'd never have crossed it!

QPR are useless

Now saying that wasn’t off side…so that’s 3 bad decisions against us already…😡

Their number 5 was surely keeping him on??

0-0 at half-time and the 23/24 season thrill ride continues.

We.succeed.once again in making very poor opponents look like Real Madrid.

Which makes us…

Half time. Poor game. Big chance went to Campbell who needed to do much better. 

Orient aren’t offering much, but we will find a way to give them a goal

Fumbluff

Sounds a really exciting game. Gutted I didn’t go

The bad news, this is as bad as Saturday (did we expect any different with same players?), the good news, I'm watching on computer screen in my office at home, so no journey home to endure.

Bailey

The lack of quality in the squad is there for all to see. Kanu is not ready, May being moved into the middle, has give him more ball but doesn't prove the argument...yet. The midfield is not good enough or physical enough to win the battles and dominate the game. 

Chunes

Lisbie and Brownie saying there's a lack of desire and bravery. Not being willing to challenge for headers at either end, players not being willing to put themselves in a position to get hurt, put their head where it counts, etc. 

Sillybilly

This game is a bigger dog’s dinner than anything that featured on the Rate My Plate thread. What a load of tripe. 

Clem_Snide

Dross. Two really crap teams. Our setplays are miserable. Watching us at the moment is a chore.
