Title: The good thing is
Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, September 6, 2012, 08:00:40
That Leyton Orient are utter garbage and their fans are beginning to turn on Russel Slade. From the league 1 highlights they look like an utter shambles at the back so I reckon they are the perfect team to play at home this weekend.

5-0 anyone?

That said, if we don't beat them on Saturday, things could really start getting interesting down PDC way.

Couldn't get anyone easier and should be game for a beating, if only life was that simple.

Didn't we lose 4 on the spin early last season? I thought maybe the team would be firing earlier this year due to the nature of Paolo's signings compared to last summer, but with the amount of turnover I guess it's not a total shock that we are struggling for consistency early on.

Once we have our most creative players fit again and (more importantly) Paolo works out his best XI I think we'll be just fine.

We've only lost one league game and have beaten Prem opposition. Not exactly what you could call a bad start.

Funny that, I was thinking 5-0. That's if we've got our wingers back.

5-0 was a little tongue in cheek. Wouldn't want to come across as being arrogant!!

However the point still stands, Orient aren't very good and I think we should win.

I'm with you on this, but it admittedly has been a bit up and down. Was merely responding to BO's implication that Paolo could be under pressure if we don't win on saturday, coupled with the too-frequent (though not really on here) opinions around that two losses in 4 days is some kind of crisis.

Not a bad start just a bad week so far. We'll be good again Saturday.

I'm just relieved we don't have to play oxford again this year (if we draw them in the FA cup I take full responsibility).

I'll stick with 5-0 and will be prepared to be disappointed  :)

My point about PDC was probably triggered more from the wild comments I have read on various forums after the Foderingham issue to be fair.

I think a win against Orient is more important for confidence than anything.

Even our idiot fans wouldn't turn against PDC if we don't beat them...... Actually, who am I kidding? Of course they would.
