Leyton Orient v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread

[Benzel]

To lose without conceding from open play or a set piece is very frustrating.

[Bob's Orange]

That was dismal. Only positive was Belford looked half decent.

Oldhamesque performance.

[Shaw Rosso]

Has the world ended yet?

[Bob's Orange]

There was a decent shot from Harley, which the keeper saved. Then Reckord prevented a clear goal scoring chance by taking the ball off of Smith as he was about to shoot (from what I heard not saw).

That did happen.

Scumbags out of top 3, Slave Traders back in bottom 4 - the world hasn't ended yet

House with no name says...

Conference here we come alternatively get a manager who can manage at this level.


Own up, who was it?

[Langers]

Another good away day marred by the 90 minutes of crap in the middle.

I can only recall two efforts on goal from us, we offered nothing in the final third. On the positive side we looked fairly solid at the back but a couple of individual errors cost us.

To be fair to cooper, I'm not sure there is much else he could have done, because of the injuries and suspensions we had, they were just better than us all over the pitch.

Decent turn out from town fans, made a decent amount of noise as well, certinally more than the Orient fans anyway.

few points from today. Those people who think pritchard is a show pony  should have seen harley today.Gladwin and Rekord should be nowhere near the first 11 even if we're struggling.Initially Cooper's tactics were justified cos Orient never looked like scoring until the pen but frustrating that we didnt push on when behind.Belford should be happy with his performance.Byrne and TAH decent 1st half, NG is a better lone striker than Smith and finally Luongo is suffering a huge loss of form.Oh, one more thing, Ward is clueless with the ball at his feet.

[suttonred]

In a word. Abject.

Wont go over old ground, but at half time me and one of the other lads couldn't work out who Gladwin had replaced at HT... That's how good he was.

Secondly with 10 minutes to go I though bollocks and went out and had a fag. I watch the remainder through a gate and you could see the Orient box. I saw one ball from us go over the stand, and only saw their goalie twice in the whole 10 mins which shows how much we attacked.
If they don't go up I wont go next year, my record is now 0-1-5 there.

Someone else said good turnout, and it was, with 10 mins until kick off they had us all in one corner and weren't going to open another section, could have got messy with the amount of people still trying to get in. until they actually did open up. Anyone know the official number? I would have guessed around 900.

[@mwooly63]

765 officially

[suttonred]

Tee he. The old cash on the gate scam..

[Quagmire]

Darren Wards form has suffered massively this season due to the way we are trying to play in my opinion.
For want of a better word, through this career he has never been a 'footballer', he has always been a ball winning centre half who gets his tackles, his headers and his blocks in and does the dirty work, he's never been someone to play from the back.
It seems to me we are asking a 30 something footballer to change his style when he is close to the end of his career.
It's not going to happen and unfortunately his form has suffered because of that.

[FormerlyPlymRed]

Tbf we were missing Foderingham,  mceverly,  hall, ranger, mason, Pritchard, l thompson, n thompson (maybe more?).

No team in our league can cope with 8 players out, 6 of which are definite starters.

[Quagmire]

Oh, and if you were one of the people on twitter that said we need to bring Paul Benson back, please go and climb the tallest building closest to your house and jump off of it, if you are able to walk when you have landed, repeat it.
