I think Scunthorpe at half time have said Orient aren't that good, let's have a go

It maybe Scunthorpe are not that good but we should be finishing teams like this and not make them look good

Ling and Vigoroux get in a right mess, no pen given but why would the Scunthorpe player fall down with an open goal at his feet. Lucky escape.

If I wasn’t staring, slack-jawed, at our defending so far this half, I’d be laughing.

That's why Cisse plays. Clay can't play as the holder. His positioning and anticipation are dreadful.

Doug Harper has been given an assist for Scunthorpe’s opener
After all, he’s a lynchpin in LOFT

Hector actually passing it forward is creating some tempo at least.

Why are our players afraid to shoot. They want to walk the ball into the net all the time IMO

Any improvement that we've made is slight. I think to suggest there are shoots of recovery would be a stretch. We're still a pretentious possession side with no cutting edge and a soft spine.
