The fella that scored the 2nd, is he the same player that ran unopposed into the box for the first? If so, that’s shocking tracking from Cisse maybe.

Yet another team targeting our weak spot.

If every other team can see it, why can’t our management?

Then you've got Embleton saying they will be bringing people in hmmm

Mad that Ling is the 4th best right back at the club and is still starting every game. We look tidy enough now but its pretty toothless.

Glad I didn’t buy the stream. Cheltenham are a good team anyway and we are average / haven’t trained for 10 days. Could get ugly as the game goes on.

Poor 1st half.

Never mind the illness, we should be able to do basic marking.

Afternoon all. I might stick around for our glorious 2nd half comeback, but haven’t bought the streaming service.

That's what really irritates me about Orient . We've all known this from the moment Marvin left yet nobody has been brought in to replace him . Hopefully after today that will change .

Good side Cheltenham. Sad when our best player and the only one trying to drive the team is almost 40.

First goal is shocking out of possession play from start to finish. Cisse not tight enough for the pass that broke the midfield line, and gives the lad too much time to find his wide pass. Not sure what position the RB is taking up at this point but he’s allowing their LW so much space. Coulson ambles back and then takes up a poor position in front of the near post - no need, check your shoulder and drop back. It’s 3 v 3 in the danger area at this point, not great. Then another CTFC arrives at the back post, unmarked. The CTFC lad who makes the initial pass out wide then drives into the box unopposed, what Cisse is doing i don’t know. Widowson takes up a poor position and misjudged the cross, typical full back. GK nearly gets us out of trouble only for Ling poor attempt to tackle poking the ball into own net. Absolutely shocking from start to finish - and that’s nothing to do with Covid.

I take it the lad from Norwich is ill or injured otherwise it is a disgrace he is not even on bench.

Fifth best. I understand the tea lady is quite useful and always willing to take responsibility for her job.

Exactly the point. Can understand if we are half a yard off the pace but our defending it crap.

Agreed. It’s not just one man, the whole lot of them have been awful.

Thing with today that's our first choice RB out there doing what we see week in week out, nothing to do with the covid squad changes. Just teams looking for the weakest link.

Lifted a few cups too. Knows how to stir it up when necessary but sometimes milks it too much.
