Since nobody has done one yet ...

Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnn yooooooouuuuuuuuuu reds!

I hope people attending the game bear in mind 2 things about Orient. Firstly they are managed by Martin Ling. Second, and most important of all, they relegated the Scum to non league.
I, for one, will give them a warm welcome to the CG and then hopefully we beat them.

Ah, but the man who scored the winning goal for Orient when the scum were relegated to non-league is now playing for us. Now that's fucking karma.

lets hope he can get one tonight!

I'm not going  :cry:

I have a feeling we will win tonight. Just like I had a feeling we'd lose to Donny.

If the boys can't get going for an evening match where there should be a decent-ish away following, they never will.

2-0 to us.

Lee Steele scored the winner didn't he??

Easton scored the first, now at Town obviously.
Alexander scored the second, an ex-Town player.
Steele scored the winner, an ex-Oxford player.

And of course managed by Martin Ling... That must have really hurt the scum.

I'm looking forward to tonight, got a sneaky feeling we'll win it. I hope Ling gets a good reception.

i'm not going unless someone wants to buy me a ticket.

i dreamt we lost 2-1 and there was just over 1,000 people there....

Where abouts sonic? I'm feeling nice today.

i was only joking. i'm going to watch the real madrid game instead.

I forgot this game was on until I opened this page  8)

I'm skint so i can't afford to go tonight but after Saturdays dross i may have gave it a miss regardless of the money situation.

2-1 to Orient, attendance 5,773

Down on the coast tonight so I'll be relying on this thread.  I think we'll win 3-2 as it's freezing cold and the buggers will want to run around a bit.  Cox with 2 and Lee Peacock with the winner 2 minutes into injury time.

There's a match?  :shock:

Yeah there does seem to be a huge amount of apathy towards todays game, cant see there being a very big crowd at all tonight.

I was about to say something non-too-funny along the lines of "apparantly there's a match tonight" but it seems several people beat me to it  :|

I'm hoping we will do the typical Swindon thing and bounce back tonight against the team who are doing well, then walk over Wycombe, then stun everybody by beating Leeds away, then become hopeless again.

mmmm intersting team changes, Nicho goes out and Adams comes in and Zaaboub keeps his place....wasn't expecting that at all!

12 Peter Brezovan
11 Sofiene Zaaboub
5 Jerel Ifil
16 Hasney Aljofree
14 Miguel Comminges
10 Jon-Paul McGovern
4 Lee Peacock
8 Craig Easton
18 Steve Adams
20 Billy Paynter
31 Simon Cox

Subs

21 Blair Sturrock
17 Chris Blackburn
7 Christian Roberts
19 Michael Pook
9 Barry Corr

Whether he will play Zaaboub at left back or play 3 central defenders?

I think Boub will go to left back, with JP and the left, and possibly Easton on the right.

Sturrock is generally a 4-4-2 man.

Just had a text saying Zaboub was starting

I am now going to shove suppositories up my fucking arse rather than listen to this shit.

Sorry............................STURROCK WTF ??????????????????

YOU ARE LOSING MY RESPECT FOR YOU

Do one Zaaboub

WHOA

Sturrock picks him

You never know. He might come good. Maybe....  :|

I'm searching for a radio station from London carrying the commentary - let me know if anyone finds it first!

Bet your glad you read the instructions carefully  :soapy tit wank:

So, 15 minutes in and not one comment on the match. I take it nothings happened then....

Your all amateurs  :wink:

I'm not even listening...then again I can't Brunel FM. Cunts.

That better?

Someone should ring the ground and ask them for an emergency announcement Simpsons style :D

:nod:

Although you're probably not far off

Zaboub seems to be doing well tonight then.

Have that you glove racists.

Well Coxy great mate, Brez is kicking like a ladies grundel, we have had virtually no shots at all, O's have had a few chances but nothing clear cut....smallish crowd, no atmosphere, no passion and Zaaboub playing well...apparently...now.....

Over to you with You ain't seen nothing yet!!!!

hahahah Brunels broke again

Stop it John, I'm not allowed to laugh at work, its against the rules to have fun...

hang ON ADVERTS HALFWAY THROUGH THE MATCH!!!

Oooh, a free cup of tea if you take car for a service at SBC Autos.

Thanks for that.

How can you hear it Sussex?? Are you back in Swindon?

This matchday thread is ace. All it needs is a small dose of decent footy and we're laughing  :)

It seems to have improved since I complained.

I'm such a whining old fart  :soapy tit wank:

Waves his walking stick as he alights his stanna stair lift!

No, I've 'borrowed' Birdys World login.

Will switch to RS for post match stuff.

"Score in a minute...we're gonna score in a minute..."  :|

Back to reality, it's not looking good

Hi Al

God I fucking hate James Blunt....he is such a total "James Blunt!"

James Blunt is never called for. Ever.

That aimed at me? If so, evening fella!

Although I presume it was a typo

Sorry Alan Mac, loved you as a player...but never...EVER...say that a football team were pro-active....WRONG!

The vacant stand to our left hand side....I take it he meant the Stratton Bank, at least do your homework, we are the home team, know your ground man! terrible, utterly amateur in every way!

I'm so so glad I've never listened to Brunel FM's commentary

Zaaboub still our best player....looks like its his one good game out of every 10 or so he plays!

Fair play to him but thi sgame has 0-0 written all over it, maybe one lucky goal either way.....probably to them winning it.

The commentator seems more bloody interested in Liverpool winning than he does in the Swindon game....sack him, hes utter sheeite!

What's happening then? I have got BBC text commentary on but Commingues is the only one featuring on there. :?

All we seem to hear is Zaaboub on the Brunel commentary I dont think Cor mingey has been mentioned more than once!

Is there really nothing happening?

text from my dad -

They are first to every ball. Only a matter of time before they score.

Doesnt sound promising!

There really is nothing happening!

Well fucking great. I turn up and they score.

Fuckers.

They've had all the play according to the stats.

Get this fucking board out.

Get the new geezer in.

Get rid of this stupid transfer embargo.

Get rid of the majority of players.

Get some new ones who give a shit.

Haha, their commentator is calling him Ze-bob.

I'm not even listening and I knew it was going to happen  :-))(

Seems a bit harsh

Possibly.

Shut up about the Liverpool score, there's only a minute left you twat!

(8-0 btw)

 :D

If u mean me "Hi Fred" - got bored and started playing FIFA Manager 2008 with RS on in the background.

Aljofree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did we score? My commentary broke off?!

I was just about to say

So seems Toni was right all along  :)

The Leyton Orient guy went "And he turns.....<gone>"

Booooobs  :D

Yes Boob I think

I love Boub, he's gravy.

I lurve Mick Russell

RS said it was aljofree

as did bbc

I'll just presume it was Brez then

I haven't celebrated like that since Bez won celebrity Big Brother.

Bez won celebrity Big Brother. Fucking ace, double celebration time  :beers:

So do they now play Peter Gabriel songs instead of having the after-thoughts from Paul Sturrock?

Dave said it was Aljofree. Abolutely ecstatic, might have a beer now.

RS now. Not sure what he's saying though, something about wee.

It was Aljofree, and the game was ....shit.

Also, Zaaboob (amazingly) had a pretty good match at left back, with Jeril a rock at the back.

Paynter had a poor game, but due to fact we had virtually three holding players in midfield (Peacock, Adams and Easton) there was no creativity up front.

Got to say, I thought the ref had a very good game. Definately the best ref we had all season, as he hardly blew his whistle, and just let play continue.

we were left off the hook. Very tense game and 2 very scrappy goals.

I disagree, thought the game was fairly good.

We looked ok mostly, the greasy pitch didn't help. First half - Orient were getting every second ball. Zaaboub (IMO) looked fucking mint at left back. Minge was fucking dire. We created fuck all chances.

Second half - a bit livelier. Zaaboub tired but still made some good runs and put some ace crosses in. Minge was again fucking dire. Aljofree and Ifil seemed to lose the ability to talk to each other (a la Donny's goal on Saturday). Nice to see Aljofree make up for a mistake by sprinting forward to get into the box and equalise.

Other points of note - Ifil looked pretty darn good, had Gray in his pocket for the first half and didn't even notice Gray in the second. Big Baz came on and did more in 45 seconds than Paynter did all game. Peacock needs to buy a pair of boots with some decent fucking studs so he can stop falling over. Brez looked better, Orient's first corner was calmly caught and cleared.

I thought we deserved the draw and was mightily pissed off when they scored, thinking 'Oh no, here we go again'. Hopefully we'll take some confidence into Saturday now and with the pressure off we should get a good performance. Roll on Leeds.

i agree with ifil and Zaaboub they both played out of their skin. Brez needs how to kick but apart from that he played well. And also NELSON NELSON.

Peacock is not a left winger

Commingess is not a right back

Adams is not a footballer. Seriosly how can pook cop so much abuse when adams plays like that.

We were shit, they were slightly less shit. Our most attacking player was our left back, ifil was defending against them on his own, sturrock subsitutions are gash.

But that didn't stop me going fucking mental at the end 8)

Fully agree.Their two centre half had Paynter in their pockets.

adams played well tonight.

Did he fook. Strolled around like bambi on ice, couldn't tackle, couldn't control the ball and couldn't pass. Thats what my mum told me anyway

and the orient fans have no idea of geography

Sounds like we were lucky and got out of gaol here .

he won pretty much every challenge he got involved in.

adams has been wank everytime ive seen him play for us

Explain, for those who weren't there  :D

sheep sheep sheepshaggers. daft cnuts


our "you've got chlamydia" song to nelson was better though 8)

"You're so loud you sound like Aldershot!"

they were actually singing "east east east london"

Er, they were singing "East, East, East London". You daft cunt, Dave.

haha were they :D woops

according to points west we lost 1-0. oops.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I like the you've got chlamydia chant though I must say!

Orient are a good side so a share of the points was good in the end .

R4E - sorry I don't get the chant could you enlighten me :oops:

What was the attendance?

5,784

Surprising actually. Thought it would be about 1000 less than that.

Oooh, one other point - nice to see the referee book that cheating cunt for diving.

I wasn't there so I'm just taking at face value as an insult to the keeper...I may have missed summat!

yeah, why did everyone hate nelson? the smug cunt wasn't gloating after we equalised though.

poor game, neither side looked like scoring. zaaboub turned in his obligatory good performance for the month, bizarrely at left-back, whilst the peacock on the left experiment sort of worked - he won headers which zaaboub didn't on saturday.

didn't think adams was that bad, put himself about, won tackles, made simple passes. looked a little off the pace and lacking sharpness though.

paynter looked as though he was still at southend.

some people near me booed pook when he came on. madness.

To be fair, Paynter was up against what has to be one of the best centre backs in the league.

I don't know if I'm allowed to say it, but McGovern was rubbish tonight.

Zaaboub  MOTM, Ifil very good, Brezovan much better than before, Comminges had his worst game that i've seen. Peacock increased the aerial threat but looked out of position.

Paynter was nowhere, Corr didn't exactly set the world alight but was an improvement.

Thought Adams was rubbish after about 20 minutes.

Aljofree, Easton and Cox were just ok

Must better game to watch than Doncaster, Orient looked neat and organised and will be up there for the season I'd think

Agree with most of that. Also, Mc Govern again kept drifting inside so we had no wide options, and cannot beat his man, is he really a winger? With no winger on the other side either, I thought it was a boring display by us, and Orient showed us how to play good approach football with competent wingers. Without my season ticket, this long ball rubbish would not attract me through the gates.They produced many scoring chances which they missed, while we hardly threatened. I thought Pook played some neat approach passes when he came on and did better than Adams. Only Zaboob showed any threat and skill on the day.

My assesment of the evening

Good solid performance against a very good team.. nearly spoiled by letting one in  .. showed great character to equalise.

Points - Leyton Orient are nearly top .. the half time BOOING off of the team was a disgrace and made me wonder what morons we have supporting the team.  The support from the crowd tonight consisted of little more than moaning and very few songs .. worst ive heard for ages.

Defence was solid - Jerel was immense - Zaaboub excellent at left back .. even Comminges did ok

Midfield .. didnt exist .. Easton tried but didnt get very far .. Adams absolutely AWFUL .. Peacock out of position and out of the game wide left .. McGovern struggled but tried

Forwards - given poor service they did ok and never stopped trying .. some of the balls forward to Paynter and Corr were so awful they really didnt stand a chance against top defenders.

Once again tho I go back to that half time booing .. I was fuming about that at half time .. BRING ON THE WYCOMBE and PLEASE SUPPORT THE TEAM!!

Zaboub was MOM. Ifill played well. McGovern was useless but better than Adams. Our delivery first half was absolutely dire. Peacock is not a midfielder - he neither supports the attack or helps the defence. Paynter was beaten in the air for everything. Brez looked a lot better. Cox ran the channels well but with no support.
The worrying thing for me is the bloody great big gap between Ifill and Aljofree which attacks seem to fill quite nicely. Also, we are very slow to commit players forward. Towards the end we had 2 attackers against 6 of theirs. We were a home side, 1-0 down.
Overall a bad game but better than Saturday.

You forgot to add that he seems largely incapable of tracking back. I know the guy has quality, but are his instructions 'go where you like' because positionally he is all over the shop at the moment to the detriment of the team.

Our shape improved a bit on t'other side when Roberts came on too.

IFIL MOM for me.

Nelson hates us. He made his debut for Brentford about 4 years ago when he was 17 at the CG and he got a really rough ride. Town End has abused him ever since, he scored the winning penalty for Brentford last season in the Carling Cup.

Is it only me who was annoyed with Peacock for not lofting it over Nelson after his cock up? That was very poor from the guy.

Thought a point was a fair result.The lack of width was a concern,not sure if moving Peacock to the left worked,though he might come good in the position after a couple of games.Looked a lot more solid at the back,Jerel was absolutely immense,my motm,seemed as if he was the only defender we had out there and nothing was going to get past him :D

And DV got to meet my Brother,lucky him :D

Mcgovern has been below par for a couple of games now. Paynter was against a very good Orient defence who's only lapse was conceding 5 goals against Swansea at home. Orient was first to every 2nd ball. They were the best team i have seen at CG this season.

Didn't the Gills thrash them just before we taught them a lesson? Or was that someone else? I think they also let 4 in against Donny

Am I alone in thinking Adams actually played well last night? I can't see why everyone thought he was shit, he broke up so many Orient attacks.

Peacock on the left-Roberts on the bench for 89 minutes,it's just not right!

cheers! it appears he's from stroud as well.

Peacock has the technical ability and I thought the composure to have at least had a go against Nelson last night. Crossing to Paynter was about the worst option he had.

I personally though Adams did ok, if unspectacular. Not a great performance but better than Donny.

Was baffling eh?  It sat up pefectly to just calmly lob it up over him into an empty net.

can i just say, Zaaboub was fucking ace last night! Roberts should have been playing the whole game, Adams is shit, Pook was fantastic when he came on, BRING BACK JACK SMITH SOON, and Brez is improving every game.

Good to hear some positive comments coming as many were saying how aweful we were!
Sounds like Orient were a very good side and to be fair they've only had a couple of dodgy results then turned it round very quickly.

Bring on the Wycombe and hopefully we'll be able to teach them a thing or two
