we had a drum that was about a metre wide up the top of the stand  your ground is nice, good views of the hills to the left and the town to the right, that open covered stand is a bit iffy but so what. maybe cos it was sunny. at least it doesnt have flats in the corner like ours  |

the thing is (and maybe its the same for you even tho you have way more at your homes games than us), we have diabolical home support, 4500 home fans on average, but we travel well.
i remember the first season back in this league 2 yrs ago, we had 3900 for i think crewe or someone at home and the following week 400 away at carlisle in the rain, its odd. some of our fans are mental and at away games we make a lot of noise.
its to do with having well known london cludbs like spurs arsenal and wet sham on our doorstep

I managed to be persuaded to go today....
I thought the Orient fans were great, and I'm not talking about the noise they made, met loads of them in the Cricket Car Park, what a nice lot of fans they are, good luck to them.
How the hell did we not get at least a point - I read earlier in this thread that Paynter was shit, for goodness sake what game where you watching, I thought he worked his socks off and played another great game.
Surprised Kanu got MoM, Vincent or Greer for me.
Ifil, I've always been a great fan of his, today he was shocking.
Been looking forward to seeing TCP's bum-bandit playing, not looking forward to next time, he was awful.
At the end of the day, I quiet enjoyed the game, we lost but I've seen us play a lot worse and win.

OE, I thought you fans were decent, louder than ours, but our team didn't give us much to shout about. Unfortunately our ground has been like a morgue most of the season, there have been one or two glorious exceptions when we have had something to cheer. Oh, and that ref, he was shocking and a bit biased, unusual for us to get one like that in our favour, but we still couldn't score!

Glad you made it today Dell Boy, agree with your sentiments. There was no end product from HRK (or Macca) and I also thought Vincent and Greer were decent today. Paynter worked his nuts off again - pity he didn't bury that header that hit the bar.

THE FUCKING REF SHOULDNT BE A REF HE WAS SHOCKING.
The ref was brilliant. He gave all the correct decision for the whole of the 90 minutes  To be honest I was nearly embarrassed we got some of them. Then I remembered we are in a relagation fight and came up with the above interpretation. |

I thought we played well today, and if the chances that hit the post and the bar had gone in I reckon half the people on here who've slated the players would be saying what a great performance it was.
I thought Smtih played well today, and Greer was superb as usual. Kanu did well in terms of making space and running at players but the general problem today was a lack of end product from the whole team. The fact that Macca and Cox were being triple marked at times should have meant we had players in space, but we didn't. Wilson should look at that, especially with the central midfielders who offered very little going forward all game.
Fair play to Orient. It takes a lot of guts to sit and watch the opposition walk around you and fire crap shots at your keeper, but they had the balls to let us try! Unfortunately we didn't make it pay. Tony Mowbray was there today. Given the amount of chances created for him to judge Cox on, he had a wasted journey.
Oh, and for all those who booed or slagged off Macklin, give the kid a chance. I agree that he came on and offered very little, wasting chances, but he's just a kid. After about 5 minutes he must have been bricking it every time he got the ball incase he made a mistake. If I were him, I'm not sure I'd want to set foot on the County Ground pitch again. Hopefully he's man enough to go out there and prove the critics wrong with a late winner against Rovers!

Winning 4 - 1 would not hide the fact that Macklin was shit though

Reeves4England, understand where you are coming from with your comments about Macklin, maybe he tried too hard to show us his special skills which we have all heard about and waited to see, did not think it was the right sort of game to bring him into today, said that earlier in the week.
I just wished he tried to do the simple things like keeping the ball in play on two occasion he just ran the ball into touch, and on another the ball just ran over his foot and into touch, put that along with another occasion of totally miscontrolling, and the total unawareness that he actually was meant to run after that sphere and make the odd challenge then, to say his debut was shcoking is being really kind to him.
Heard great reports about him and I'm sure he is a very good player, if he is going to make it into the professional ranks he has to come through games like this.
What I saw today was bloody awful, tomorrow is another day.

Thought it a curious decision to bring him on...normally you bring on a kid in an end of season game when nothing much hangs on it...to do so in a game when the fans were on edge, opened the possibility of what happened...idiots getting on a 17 year old's case for a couple of poor touches. You'd have thought JPM a better bet in circumstances...maybe Wilson had some other motive for his decision. |

People weren't happy arriba, but I never heard any direct abuse.
He is a young lad thrown on in the wrong game
Looked totally out of his depth
