Agree.

Get real and don’t be so obstinant because you're up against an old. You're wrong (as much as you hate to be), we don't win as many headers in the box compared to other teams.

Exactly.We very rarely get our head on the ball WHENEVER it goes into the box.


Apart from the long throw on sat that lead to our goal which happened to be a header in the box?

Or the other goal that came from Oluwu winning a header in their box and hitting the bar?

Aside from that, spot on ...

Was at the Blackpool game, watched Reading on TV. My feeling from both is we don’t get our front three involved/ serviced enough, and swapping Kabia out for Scarlett last night didn’t change anything. I do take the point that Connolly & Scarlett are still building up to full fitness, Dobra too ...

Reading 3, Leyton Orient 0.

Of course they would let us - they want our money!

..and they want to tell us what we should and what we shouldn't do, especially the French.

Great result, awful performance. I understand why we're having to do what we're doing but it ain't pretty to watch. If we're going to persist with the narrow 5-2-2-1, we somehow need to keep both Yusuf and Alan out wide.

Outstanding shift from the defensive unit, Forrester and Stevens the pick of ...

Yes, good point. Nevertheless, give me the old four sided stand stadiums any day of the week. Like Man u, Newcastle etc. So much more character, real football stadiums compared to a bowl.

I'll take the point, but as an attacking force we were terrible.

No one to carry the ball forward, no passing the ball forwards, just 60 yards hit and hope punts.

We got really lucky today, but this can't go on, it's an awful watch


Exactly. Just another grim sounding display. What a ...

Bradford City 4, Leyton Orient 1.

In the 50's Lester Piggott rode the Derby winner, 'Never say die.' Just thought you might muse at the connection..

..as expected, nothing to say.

You never answered the point in question, and that's because you have no answer. And it seems Wellens has no answer too. But instead of discussing like a grown up all you could come up with is a childish, so called funny, waffle reply. Again a distraction because you are unable to face reality.
It ...

Scintillating.

And why do you only post when you know you cannot defend the manager with these abysmal perfomances anymore and instead turn on the boarders as a distraction.

No spirit and no spark whatsoever.

Leyton Orient 2, Plymouth argyle 3.

So very sad, especially at the age of 35. RIP Lucy.

You mean he's going to Peterborough even though you've spelt the 'to' wrong ?

That's what you call clutching at straws..

Football fans that consider their manager can no longer take the club forward and call for a change of management does not usually mean they "hate" the manager. Hate is a ridiculous word to use.


Ok, dislike.

You’ve made it very clear that you do not like Richie.

A big difference in case ...
