Campbell gets blocked and complains to the ref. Unfortunately he's not quite finished complaining when Coventry puts the ball forward so it goes straight to the keeper. And the ref blows for half time.
We are a bigger, stronger, tougher to beat mid table league one team. Seriously dull to watch. Orient are poor, we are not testing them. A Gillesphy soft challenge led to the best chance of the whole half... Mannion saved us.
I’m trying to be positive but I am being sorely tested.
What’s your issue? We have their backline on the ropes
What game are you watching, I’ll switch channels?
You might wanna have a word with Richie Wellens, he disagrees with you!
Richie Wellens will know how I feel? That’s just plain weird. Again, I’m trying to stay positive but am being tested. I’m good with that and it doesn’t need a discourse, or trolling.
We've controlled the First Half well for the most part.
Orient have been a threat on the break, but as Brownie is saying right now, we're already looking better defensively, which is a bonus... We hopefully shouldn't need to score 3-4 goals each game, just to win.
Going forward is a concern, yet Orient are sitting back whenever they can so we need to be patient with our build up play - Its been frustrating when we get in good positions, only to pass backwards. However I'd rather do that, and keep the ball rather than waste a chance that is barely there, and so give Orient the chance to count, especially with our own players out of position.
Fairly even but I think we shaded it just. TC's pace is frightening them but we havent capitalised on it. Defence looking good again but the injury to Edwards was a bummer. Need our players to get in Clsre's face & give him.some grief.
On that showing, If we have recruited for the championship this off season, then we are relegated before we even get feckin promoted!! That was shite. I hope for better.
The players would have felt seeing Edwards stretched off. It's nice to see us more organised and compact, but attacking play is pretty much non-existent.
A definite red seeing as it was cynical and a clear breakaway. Can only hope it's a deep bruise.
No real pattern of attacking play, a lot of hoofing up to the strikers, and hoping something will happen. Campbell has actually been quite lively today, making attacks out of 50 50 situations.
Should be retrospective action for me, refs should be allowed to watch the replay at half time, come out and say "having watched it back I have rescinded the yellow card and decided to award a red card"
No lack of effort. Orient surprisingly are playing a high press, which is effective, as our back line are used very often as part of the system of recycling the ball, often from the Orient half, all the way to out backs and keeper then rebuild. I don't really like this as it wastes time and slows everything down. Our team is crying out for dynamism and skill. Too many balls forward are punts, rather than picked out.
Jones needs to up his game if this system is going to command games and grind out wins. Ipswich won promotion with 6 players scoring more than 5 goals, maybe a system Jones is trying to emulate.
As an aside, Ipswich started today's game against Liverpool with 7 of their first 11, playing in their promotion from league one team. Who from our team would you reasonable put out in a Premier league game?

SC shouldn’t be on the pitch.
he’s aggression will get the better of him, we need to target it
I blame Fraser ...

Chances will come
The pass to Gillesphey and boot it long tactic is starting to wear thin.
