Recording of The Orient Hour Feb 17 with Ross Embleton

[tuffers#1]

If we do finish in the bottom half then he will be gone.

If is a word you are using .

Obviously not vonfident enough to
Predict Ross failing .

Where as i am Confident enough to
Say we will finish top half
Id take it a step up & say top 10.

Personally i say we vwill be involved
Involve with automatic promotion or play offs minimum.

Ill do my laughing in May !

[Oiram]

Managed to listen to the show Andy, with my old West Ham fan and all round avid footy buff . We both thoroughly enjoyed it with a bottle of ale and some cheese sandwiches.

Whilst it was slightly disappointing that some of the more pertinent were not asked, it was a good all round interview, entertaining and enjoyable.

Appreciating as always and gratitude to you and your colleagues.

Shame 1,200 twitters made a couple of boo boos !

[DuvB]

Do you really think after a long career in football he is giving away secrets? Naive. Sad.

Ross Embleton, long career in football?. What club did he play for, where, when, what position.

@ Type high,
On the above question, this is all I can find
''Playing career, Embleton played four games in all competitions for Bedford during the 2016–17 season''

Ross Embleton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Embleton

Russell Slade didnt have a career in first team league football

Naive. I think that is exactly what he is.

[Long slender neck]

Has a lot more football experience than you

[Still wrong]

Has a lot more football experience than you

Not a lot of experience in life though.
To say the bloke is naive is a understatement.
I still can’t believe it, to think a rival is going to give you any useful information is ridiculous.
This has nothing to do with football knowledge.

[Dohnut]

Has a lot more football experience than you

And a lot less management experience.

[Story of O]

All of us want Embleton to do well as it means the club is doing well. But the football he is inflicting on us is truly dire and that is why he gets stick on social media.

He seems a decent bloke but l don’t think he has a cat in hells chance of being successful.
He just doesn’t come across as a leader.
The club have got to give him until the end of the season and then make their mind up.
I see no point in getting rid of him and appoint another novice from within.
I would bring back Russell Slade and let him complete unfinished business.

[Dohnut]

That is the truth. I would love for him to be successful both in terms of league position and in the quality of football we play. I personally don’t care who our manager is so long as we get decent football ending in decent results. I don’t expect miracles.

Our effectiveness in possession when measured by chances on and off target is only worsened by Southend and Grimsby. Thank goodness for DJ who has been able to convert those few chances into goals.

Tedious, predictable, boring football. It will drive people away. Some of us with Orient in our blood will stick it out. Bringing in new support? Forget it.

[Type high]

Wasted opportunity.

I agree with you so much, such an opportunity lost, seems like organizers deliberately watering down questions being put into show, to avoid confrontation

[Long slender neck]

Has a lot more football experience than you

And a lot less management experience.

how many league clubs have you managed?

If the owners think a floating supporter will fork out £22 to watch the boring rubbish that has been served up lately, they are very much mistaken.

Even Your Hero Graeme Taylor was average at Lincoln in his 1st 2 seasons .
Missed promotion in his 3rd .

Yet you only talk about an experienced manager at Watford

I can’t see any evidence Ross will achieve that

And Taylor was a leader, our bloke ain’t.
He seems clueless on setting a team up to attack and then says the players are not up to playing 4 4 2. What nonsense.
He has had 18 months to set the team up as he wants and has constantly played players out of position.

In years to come people will be buying the Ross autobiography. Can’t think of an appropriate title. “EngROSSing football”. Or “under the cROSSbar”. It will be the bible used by rookie managers learning their craft.

order it now.

Not his 4th season in as a Manager & not suffering a Pandemic or the

You really are a daft one arent you fella .

Once again I show you up !!

Ross' 2nd season already looks better than Taylors 2nd
5 more wins from 19 games will mean he equals wins games with Taylor
in his 2nd season even after a disrupted Pandemic season
6 more wins from 19 games means he would have bettered
Either of Taylors first two seasons as a manager again
During a pandemic with disruption !

My god this bloke is ........
Taylor took over in dec 72.
That is half a season.
Clearly Taylor was showing all the attributes in becoming a successful manager.
Do you honestly think that this bloke will even win one promotion?
He doesn’t inspire, he is unbelievably stupid to not only ask rival managers what our strengths are but even more daft to publicly admit it.
For him to apparently resign from the job first time around should have ruled him out again, certainly in the near future.
It has all the signs to me of a nice bloke who has been over promoted, we have all seen it in every workplace and what happens is the company suffers or disappears altogether if nothings done.
I expect us to finish in the bottom half and then the owners will have a decision to make.
Of course Ross might prove me wrong and we may finish in the top 10. If he does this then he deserves another go next season.
I have a sneaky feeling we are going to struggle to score goals and there will be a lot of 1-0/2-0 defeats coming along with a few boring 0-0 draws.
All the excuses will come out from Tuffers, Johnson not fit, Still getting over JE, COVID-19.
All the things except one which every other club has to go through and a lot are on a smaller budget than ours.

[Still wrong]

My take on football is this........
If a team goes out and plays progressive and attacking football and loses, well there is some merit in that. We can see light at the end of the tunnel.
Losing without playing a progressive type of game or even enjoying it is a total waste of time .

Ross was Interim boss for half a season after the Loss of JE
Then Fletcher has 3 defeats & a draw in that record .

6 wins from 19 games Ross will better Taylors 2nd year .
Regardless of whatever claptrap you have spouted about someone &
The intelligence they posses or not .

You are just another HATER HATING !

&

As always STILL WRONG

[o-no]

I think it's valid to challenge Ross's record without being called a HATER - that's the very definition of cancel culture.

Is anyone saying that the footy we've been served up recently has been an engrossing watch, because I don't think they are, and that's down to the way Ross has set the team up.

We can compare Ross's record against other rookie managers, and who knows, the penny may drop and Ross may go on to have a stellar career, but I just don't see it myself. Maybe Ross was no worse than Taylor at this stage, but does that tell us anything really? We have to look for signs of Ross's potential to be a great manager in what he lays before us. I'm not seeing it. I'm looking really hard for it, but sadly, I don't think it's there.

[Thor]

I’m listening now and he says “I would not personally play 4-3-3 if it were my choice” err it is your choice. He goes on to say we don’t have the players to play any other way, err your the head coach and we all know we have a transfer committee and you are a part of it, why aren’t the other boys and girls listening to you when you must therefore be suggesting we need a different type of player so we can play with two up top which is your preferred way of playing.

The man is talking bollocks, sorry.
