Brian promoting half year season tickets over the tannoy.
The good news is that you get 14 games for the price of 10.
The bad news is that you get to watch Charlton 4 more times.16 -
Know its early days but really dont think Dixon is up for too much 1st team football,looks lightweight and to be honest,knackered!3

Can definitely see why he's not been featuring. Very raw and makes a lot of bad decisions.Redvalleyeast said:Know its early days but really dont think Dixon is up for too much 1st team football,looks lightweight and to be honest,knackered!6 -
Positives - Edun, Small, Godden, Potts and the young right back
The rest especially Leaburn Berry and Docherty shite.3 -
After 90 minutes, if draw, is it penalties or (please no), extra time0

Sadly not, as he's got a temperature tonight, so be surprised if he goes to school at all tomorrow - He even willingly took himself to bed just after the game started, although that could have been to save himself watching any of it.eastterrace6168 said:

My God, that was so bad as to be almost unreal.
Still at least we are attacking the covered End in the second half. The crowd there will surely inspire us.9 -
Dixon from the start is a no. At the moment.
Dixon on for last 15-20 against tiring defences just to run at them, maybe.13 -
PWR and PWW... I like rolled oats with yogurt and blueberries.1

May get shot down here but actually enjoyed us for the first time in a while! Potts, Edun, Small and Josh looked good I thought. Dixon definitely tries to make something happen though it won't always come off. Godden was unlucky.
Seems to be a gap though between our midfield and their strikers leaving them in alot of space so I would say that needs to be tighter as they are getting decent positions.
Leaburn looks like his boots are made of lead.
Special mention to Pratley though...39 and fit as a fiddle. Proper crime letting him go and keeping Watson!7 -
We’ll smack me out of shock. A first half where we didn’t score…4
-
Although Orient have had far more shots than us I feel we are the better team.
Both Small & Edun are putting decent crosses into the box & Godden was unlucky with his shot. No idea how Leaburn hasn't got his head onto a few of the crosses....one of then it looked like he ducked under it & another he didnt jump.
Can't complain atm & couldn't complain if it was 2-2. But another 45 goes past without us scoring.

We did get slightly better as it went on but that's not saying a great deal. Potts being fit is good if he can replace Gillesphey in the 3 in league games. Leaburn looks like it takes him 6 minutes to shift his body when the ball comes to him, no idea what's going on with him but I don't think it's just a lack of interest. Doesn't even look like the player he did one banter cup game ago. I do struggle with REG, he's not a great defender or passer, I'm not sure what his game is other than being quite good at last ditch blocks.

So much of these performances go against what NJ keeps saying is his style.
high Energy !! Nope actually the opposite
front footed !! Nope actually the opposite
high intensity!! Don’t make me laugh
high press !! What ?? And where ???
aggressive !! Totally passive !
it’s all very weird7 -
I think under Jones our best attack partnership is Godden / KanuGarrymanilow said:We did get slightly better as it went on but that's not saying a great deal.

It stops the rest of the team punting the ball up field. makes them think about where they're passing it a bit more, and in the pairing up top, you've got two guys who'll just run and press the opposition... Given his lack of minutes, I'm disappointed that Kanu hasnt been given the opportunity to start tonight.2 -
We really are terrible to watch...0

Still undefeated in the #VertuTrophy7

HT 0-0 decent game Orient started of well but Charlton been the better side in the last 25 mins .. The young full back looked good so as Edun and Potts … Leaburn not at his best again and Dixon looks out his depth not had a run at the defence yet ..

Taylor for Docherty or Berry might help and Campbell for Dixon would improve our right side. Baffled by Leaburn.0

Thought he looks ok personally . Dixon struggling though.ateamofcorygibbs said:Laqeretabua looks clueless unfortunately4 -
If I'm going to be picky he got caught out of position once when Dixon misjudged his pass to him so was stranded upfield, and one occasion where he got dragged pretty centrally, but he's not disgraced himself by any means so far.Southbank said:

That’s more than our two 🤦🏻♀️ - it’s not LANGeretabua
I knew Terry will start getting stick for this - BUT - Josh recorded the pronunciation of his name for us last week and there is an 'N' sound with the correct Fijian pronunciation.

So "LANG-ER-RET-A-BUA" is the correct pronunciation!#cafc https://t.co/UoCB4ckkjN4 -
Trouble with this is it’s a Nathan Jones tactic to try not to score any of your first five penalties and to hope that the opposition miss all of theirs.killerandflash said:

I keep noticing 2 young backroom staff in the front row of the dugout at every home game. Anyone know what their roles are?0

Laq has looked a very good one on one defender, but doesn't offer anything going forward. While REG and Potts must be one of the shortest CB partnership we've ever used for a while, so I imagine will try and get more high crosses in.1
