Leyton Orient v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread

[tans]

Ryan Harley is this seasons Gary Roberts.

Lazy, shit, a bottler, doesnt give a fuck and is most likely on a handsome wage.

How long is his deal?

[Dr Pierre Chang]

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.

Add Miles Storey to that...

[THE FLASH]

Well that was utter shit....not quite the depths of Stevenage or Sheffield United but on par with the Pikeys.

800 odd fans showed up and they didn't deserve that.

Only the keeper Belfield gets any credit for me, at 2 zip down he still wanted to get the game going quickly, Harley and Reckord were dire throughout. Barker....why?

2nd pen looked cheap.

If Cooper dishes up shit like that at home he's fucking doomed...it had Malpas written all over it.

Orient we're better...faster....simple things right...but I did get an Os fan to bite outside with my out loud comment 'a great team would of hammered us from open play'.

Now to trawl back through for the pearls of wisdom from those who never went.

[THE FLASH]

Cooper banging on re " we have a style and are sticking to it "
NOT WHEN ITS NOT FUCKING WORKING YOU DONT

I'm just glad he didn't use the word system.

Cowardly fucker doesn't even have the courtesy to acknowledge the fans who travelled.

Slade was on the pitch clapping his fans, who never sang much....

I had a great day in the smoke... lovely weather.

Was there a game on?

[pewshamrobin]

Dire, slow to the 2nd ball, little passion or desire....... we couldnt even do the simple things, like pass the ball to a team mate. Byrne + Belford were the only players to show a positive impact despite the shower around them. Harley is so poor  the sooner Louis Thompson or Sicknote Mason are back from the injury the better.
Both penalties were needless ....... Reckord didnt need to dive in + Troy lost possession and then ran into the back of the player. Any chance Shrewsbury will swap Storey for Barker, he may not be the messiah but he is not so lightweight + would offer something different.

[chalkies_shorts]

Shrewsbury were 2-1 down when Storey came on on the hour - result 3-2 win.

Today reminded me a lot of running a kids football team many years ago.

We had a couple of players who had a habit of running around like fuck while they were chasing the opposition down, but rarely actually made a tackle.

They'd huff and puff a lot, sure. They'd manage to get themselves covered in mud somehow, but if you watched them closely, games usually passed them by and they actually did fuck all (they're kids though, so it was kind of OK, they were learning how to play the game, thought they could get away with stunts like that but of course they quickly realised that they couldn't when it was pointed out that we knew what they were up to and coached that out of their game)

Ryan Harley, Mark Cooper and most of those who went today will know fucking well where I'm going with this.

How Harley stayed on the pitch today while Murphy got dragged off, I'll never know. Murphy wasn't brilliant, granted, but he must be fucking devastated to see Harley staying on while he watched from the dugout.

I'm not blaming Harley for everything, but he's a fucking grown man who's picking up decent wages from our club, and to me, he's a cheating cunt.

I lost count of the amount of times he made it look like he was doing something today, yet rarely made a tackle, constantly gave the ball away cheaply and offered no bite, backbone, leadership or bottle for his team mates or the fans for almost the whole afternoon.

I'm beginning to worry that Cooper may actually be out of his depth at STFC, simply because I can't understand why he can't see what most of us can see with Harley, let alone anything else.

I accept that today was dire in a lot of departments. I'm not happy about it, but I accept it as part and parcel of football at all levels.

A bad day at the office, etc.

I can't accept poor, uncommitted, cheating, gutless performances from anyone weraing a town' shirt though, which is what we got from Harley today.

Even some of the the gibbering, mouth-breathing bafoons that were singing that ridiculous 'Forward' song today were slating him for his gutless performance as he pranced around like a fairy, making out he was doing something while actually doing fuck-all.

Good luck to Power with flogging season tickets while useless, uncommitted players like Harley remain on the payroll.

And that's sugaring the pill!

[Quagmire]

Who would people have played instead of Harley?

Just got back. A brilliant day ruined by Swindons brand of {Cough} football
I agree with the above and Pewsham Robin.
I would like to add Belfield, Byrne{for sheer effort} and Troy {for the first 70 minutes} were decent. The rest were a bag of shit And that is being unkind to shit. Its possibly unfair to blame Harley to much as he was no worse than the rest.
This footballing experiment is not working.

[Bob's Orange]

My feedback about Harley on today's performance was powderpuff. Delta's description was spot on.

[No Longer Posh Red]

Shrewsbury were 2-1 down when Storey came on on the hour - result 3-2 win.

They were also 2-1 down when Notts Co had a man sent off.

What would worry me is that after such a short time there that Miles didn't make the starting XI of a team in a relegation fight.

[Abrahammer]

Having seen just seen the goals from that game the "Saviour" wasn't involved in either.
