  • Oh, trap three in the first East Stand bogs still has a broken lock, entering the third season now. I mean how difficult is it to repair. I'd rather not poo with a crowd watching if you don't mind.
    Change your name to jordanaddick, problem gone.

  • Who wants to own up then?
    Ah ok, this is clearly what Jones was going mental at about 90 seconds after we scored. He was clearly agitated and was definitely firing words towards behind the dugout.

  • Anyone missing Hector and Thomas?
    No but wonder what difference May and Dobson would have made.


    Not complaining. It was leagueonetastic.
    I think as time goes on people are going to start to reflect more on how much Dobson's exciting, dynamic style left us exposed through the middle. Orient had one good chance today, I suspect it would have been more than that if Dobson had been there based on last season
    It was a fault in his game Gary, so many times he would go charging after a ball outwide, leaving a gaping hole in midfield. Problem was, the crowd loved his attitude and commitment and he gave the shirt his all.If he wants to progress as a footballer he needs to choose his moment better because most of the time if he held his position he would have broke up an attack whilst not exposing his back four. 
  • After 2 games, we look a fair side which lacks goals. 
    We have nicked 2 wins on the back of decent defensive work. 
    Tyreece is no striker, not enough bulk. 

    We can’t take a corner or a free kick, despite months to practice. 

    I’m not getting excited yet. 
  • Said after Wigan I'd take another 45 1 - 0 wins.

    I've changed my position, I'd take another 44.

    We were the better team without creating many clear cut chances against a horrible time wasting, shirt pulling, playing for a draw from minute one Orient.

    But in the end we took the best chance we had and then did what good teams do ie kill the game, take it to the corner and see the game out. How did your own medicine taste, Leyton?

    No outstanding performances but L Jones and Mitchell impressive, Small and Ramsay bombed forward, TC ran them ragged, Mannion not really tested but claimed some corners well.

    Set pieces and corners still not troubling the opposition enough but it's early days.

    The Edwards injury the only downer in what was otherwise an excellent home start.

    Met two of the US owners pre-game, two guys who seem very committed to the project.
    Without breaking any confidences @HenryIrving could you elaborate on what our US owners had to say ?

  • Amazing after two games, only three teams with a clean sheet.

    This team is better rounded then last season.

    In terms of scoring goals give it time. Lets allow a little longer for partnerships up top to develop. You can see what Jones is trying to do, It might not be pretty at times but who honestly cares, if it gets us out of League One I am all for it.

    From what I have seen from the first two games Mannion is good enough to be our number 1

    What we really need is another midfielder that Jones trusts.
    I personally do not like that we did not freshen up the midfield at all today.

    Berry took his goal well, two clean sheets and two wins

    That will do.
  • Nobody has yet said "clean sheet win, clean sheet win"🎶 
    Clearly saandgard just didn't find the right manager
  • Note: Most improved player award has got to go to Coventry.

    I'd have swapped him for his own Panini sticker last season, such was his form, but he is now starting to be a crucial player. He doesn't get it all right, but he is doing the hard yards, and a lot goes through him.


    Not a Coventry bashing bandwagon, but wish it was Luke Berry who got the amount of ball Coventry got. With that amount of ball and space I feel he should have had more of an impact on the game. No impression he had his head up to see what was happening ahead of him and preferred just to ensure he didn't give the ball away.

    If that's his job for NJ fine, I shouldn't criticise him for what he didn't do.

    0-0 would have reflected that game better.
    But will always be happy when luck on our side. 
    As a game it was tedious, we had no creativity in midfield.TC frightend the Orient defence with pace but has no shot on him
     Ahamanade just.seem slow to every thing. He cannot winthe ball or hold it up.
    The  difference in the second half was Chuck Aneke and his physicality..
    Small and Ramsy are terrible at crossing into the box,the corners today were poor.
    Just glad the defending is capable last minutes blocks and tackles.


    You believe they deserved a draw?
    A draw would not have been a gross miscarriage. They had less possession but still had 8 shots to our 11, 2 on target to our 4, 4 shots blocked to our 4 blocked. So we did not overwhelm then.
  • Great start to season. But will we score enough goals.Last season we scored 64 but we had a 20 + striker. The play off teams last season scored between 79 and 86 goals. Can we score another 15 goals without May. I am doubtful. Yes we will concede fewer looking at first 2 games but our strike force looks tame. Aneke is popular with supporters but the fact is that ( yes I know he has had injuries ) he has scored 11 goals in last 3 seasons. We cannot win every game 1 -0 . Strikers have to step up to the plate .

    Maybe you should cross ya legs, and we'd all be happy...🙄
