Hope Edward's injury isnt as bad as I have heard...broken ankle.1

It was nice to see the opposition look absolutely fucked in 75th as opposed to us for what feels like first time in years8

I don't know where you have heard that but at the very least it's ligament damage and potentially a career ending challenge, lets hope we are both wrong.Chippycafc said:Hope Edward's injury isnt as bad as I have heard...broken ankle.3 -

Thank you to all the match contributers on the match day thread5

I believe it will come, but we aren’t ready yet to ‘put on a show’. Bolton are an excellent team. An upmarket version of Leyton Orient. They’ve had continuity and constant improvement for 3-4 years.Chippycafc said:Seen all 3 games so far and in each game for the majority it's been awful. The game only changed as all around me were crying out for a change up front. As an ebbsfleet fan and we need all the help i wouldn't want our number 9 he is useless.
But a wins a win and lots of these types will go the other way.
Bolton next ...let's put on a show.What we need next week, is another disciplined performance, a little step up again on today and try and grab that winner.7 -
Oh for more poetry on CL.soapboxsam said:You can say Charlton are shit
But I prefer, we play with Grit
Charlton give their fans nervous tics
But the stats state it's six out of six
If Charlton can keep the clean sheet
The fan/critics will stay upbeat.
Talking of Grit, wouldn’t NJ love Gritt?

Outstanding in all games so far. Shock horror, turns out he doesn't need Hector next to him, telling him what to do!cafcsinger said:Llyod Jones was practically faultless5 -

Priceless.
Like that time Lyle Taylor got injured and people were providing an armchair diagnosis based on the way he was sitting on a bench at a station!6 -

I wish to make a special request to the MODs to be given the means to like this 100 times.Henry Irving said:
They love the museum, love that the club has so much history (we gave them and their sons each a leaflet with a potted history of the club - copies available from the museum) and they are both big Who fans so loved our displays on the two concerts.ShootersHillGuru said:
Without breaking any confidences @HenryIrving could you elaborate on what our US owners had to say ?Henry Irving said: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.
Said as ever when taking over a business you find things you didn't know about that have to be sorted out but it was expected and they dealt with them. They didn't specify.
Friedman and Rosenfeld are brothers in law, which I didn't know.
Four of their sons were also there so hopefully the next generation are getting the bug too (the Micheals to Albert and Stanley perhaps if that isn't a damning comparison)
Nothing else I can share, no transfer gossip but they see the need for stability and long termism. They may have started out as investors but now see themselves as fans.
Very friendly and personable guys.1 -
Hope not but it wouldn't suprise me. I have had a view for a while that when a dangerous tackle like that is reviewed after the game, the player making the tackle should be out for 3 months. That would IMO have stopped Clare and prevented a nasty injury, and other a*holes going for highly dangerous challenges. It seems the victim pays the price and they get away scott free. I am sure he didn't mean to hurt Edwards but he took the risk to do so and that is because he knew the person who was most likely to come out worst wasn't him.Chippycafc said:Hope Edward's injury isnt as bad as I have heard...broken ankle.5 -
But he's got two feet.Garrymanilow said:
Never underestimate people's ability to see a player have an off day and claim they're not interested in playing anymore. I remember Rhoys Wiggins going off injured against Palace and more than one poster claiming that he'd pretended to be injured and cried off because Zaha was giving him such a hard time down the left. He'd broken his foot.Hal1x said:
shame that he supposedly cant be arsed and is looking to move, not what I saw today, thought he looked a threat.Mrkinski said:Loved Small geeing up us oldies in the Lower West towards the end of the 2nd half. Seems to be enjoying it here.3 -
Have you considered using another cubicle?LargeAddick said: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.9 -
Of course not, he loves it!Mametz said:

Not sure how a “broken” foot has been diagnosed given that Jones said that an x- Ray was happening on Monday. Had the medical team thought it might be broken bones I’d have expected he’d be off to have an x-ray this straight from the game.7

I remember getting all excited at the football on show in one of the early games under Bob Peeters, think it was a Tuesday night win against Watford if memory serves me correctly. We went on to have a very poor season and the ease at which we passed the ball around that night, seemed a distant memory come the end of that season.
although the football hasn’t been pretty by all accounts, I was using that example to highlight how misleading really good, fluid performances at th start of a campaign can be over a 46 game season.
For me Nathan Jones is the real reason to be slightly more optimistic this season than in previous years. I’ve not been following the club in as much detail over the summer as in previous years, and I’m yet to see them in action (that’s next week), so I can’t offer an opinion on the incomings etc, but I do know we’ve got a proper manager in Jones, and with him at the helm, we’ve got the best man for the job.
No disrespect to Garner and Holden, particularly Holden as he was the more affable of the two, but they shouldn’t have been anywhere near getting a job at a club like ours. I don’t say that from an arrogant perspective, more a reflection of how far we’ve fallen, and that such a job is way, way beyond their ability
we’ll have some off days, and we might have few poor performances. I have no idea if we have enough and we will have enough if we can ship some on and get more, but I do know we’ve got the best possible chance in the last few years under Jones, and I hope the club put the adequate backing behind him as the season goes on10 -
Some of the posters on here don't need things like x-rays to get in the way of their diagnosis. They've watch 54 episodes of Casualty - they know their stuff.ShootersHillGuru said:Not sure how a “broken” foot has been diagnosed given that Jones said that an x- Ray was happening on Monday.

I feel like the '£1m for Ahadme' is going to become the new £2.5m for Francis Jeffers. That million will be heavily weighted towards performance-based add ons and if we ever end up paying it it will most likely be because he's scored enough goals and we've got promoted, so it'll definitely be worth it at that point

I think Campbell did ok but Ahadme was too soft. Aneke made a big difference when he game on.2

Really !!! 🤢RodneyCharltonTrotta said:Great day other than walking in on a large bloke having one off the wrists in trap 3 of the east stand khazis.
Think he's in there regularly from what other people were saying.

Lloyd Jones was excellent today, won every single header and tidy with the ball, starting to see the player Cambridge fans said he was!21

We were shit in the first half. Dress it up all you want but if I’m being generous I would say the plan was to let Orient wear themselves out, because they were better than us at that pointRC_CAFC said:
We weren’t rubbish in the first half. We just weren’t quite as expansive as we’re all used to seeing over the last few years where we’ve had to score 3 to win any game. We were solid, fit, disciplined and professional.Smithy said:My heart can’t take a whole season of this. First half was absolutely shocking and Orient really should have scored that chance Gillesphey gifted them. They pressed much higher than us and left us punting hopeless long balls forward while they played the ball around pretty comfortably.Second half they seemed to tire and we got a lot more forward momentum. If not for Small’s comedic crossing we might have been ahead a bit earlier.
I’m still at the point where I can’t work out if we’re a rubbish team scraping wins or a good team just doing what we need to do. Either way Bolton next week will be the biggest marker yet.
Special mention also for a truly embarrassing referee.Jones has addressed what needed addressing. Our ability to keep clean sheets and long may it continue.People criticising Ahadme need to look at why their defence was so tired at the end. He didn’t give them a moments peace. He didn’t have a great game, but he and Campbell were quite relentless in not giving those defenders time. Meaning that when Aneke came on he could simply bully them time and again.6 -

Yeah although the poor Lifer who broke the news and posted the grainy photo of him at Ebbsfleet station also got pelters because most people thought it couldn't even be Taylor. And I was one of them. I couldn't believe that if our star striker had really picked up an unannounced injury on international duty that had him on crutches, no way would they be letting him wander around on public transport. But they did.Off_it said:

The good thing is, it looks like we have the most professional and well resourced fitness and medical set-up we've had for years.2 -
Really pleased with the result and how much more solid we look.Mannion looked solid and made a couple of decent saves.Ramsay and Small were both terrific, Small a little wasteful with the final ball.Mitchell Jones and Gillesphey look like a solid 3. Nice and aggressive and comfortable on the ball.Coventry once again looked much more impressive than last season. Just keeps things ticking over nicely.Doc needs to show a bit more going forward for me but he’s getting stuck in.I thought Berry would be the only change to the Wigan team and I’m glad he was. A lovely composed finish that I don’t think many of our squad would have had the quality to take.Campbell showed glimpses of great skill and causes some panic. Not linking up with Ahadme just yet though, he needs to get closer to him to play off of him.Aneke and Godden made a big difference coming on.We look solid and have something to build on. Really hoping we just get another 2 or 3 quality players in and we’ll be in with a shout.14

A clean sheet win, what else can you ask for?0

Ramsay motm for me….glides past people3

Will never understand selling himFortune 82nd Minute said:A few random thoughts.
Few teams if any are going to out-muscle us this year. And defensively we look much more secure.
Early days yet but I was very impressed with Mannion today. Don't think signing a new keeper is anywhere near as vital as some think.
Going to reserve judgment on Ahadme until he plays with a different partner to Campbell. Can only hope there is more to his game than we can currently see.
Just hope that injuries don't de-rail our promotion push. Horrible feeling we won't see Edwards for some time. And, after seeing the replay, that was a clear red for Clare.
And finally won't be popular with some but I was thinking if we could play Alfie May in front of today's keeper, defence and midfield that would be a team that is comfortable top 6. But I know move on, move on .....7
