I can’t say , but it does appear that Ling is the common denominator here. I have no evidence of Ling causing these issues with managers , and I doubt anyone else does , but clearly something is not quite right.
Monkey Boy ! Are you George now he has a Ban ?
I've not seen you comment much on Footballing threads .
You do Seem to carry the Ling Hating Gene though .
I don’t hate Ling. I don’t know what’s going on at the club. Just trying to understand how our form has all but disappeared. Don’t comment much on football because , as said previously , one win and opinion changes. But I do moan a lot at the games. Especially recently.

Well spotted. Looking forward to the mods responding accordingly.
It's funny that sometimes the bad alias appear immediately.
I'm yet to commit to the good aliases are also some of the bad ones belief
But I'm close

What an insecure set of boarders you are. I don’t need more than one alias. I say what I like and don’t hide from it.

What makes you think anything is going on ?
We are just being Orient !
Absolutely correct. But always being Orient is getting tedious now.

I don't think it's got anything to do with Martin . He doesn't get involved with the playing side of things . My understanding is he only does the contract negotiations with the players and their agents . IMO, the real truth is we've just been very unlucky with the loss of key players through injury and covid . We also played with a depleted squad ( Tranmere away ) and we paid for it . IMO, other clubs in the same position have pulled some strokes with some gamesmanship and got their games called off . This meant we didn't have a league game for about 5 or 6 weeks and so lost any momentum we might have been able to build up . It now feels like we're dead in the water . We desperately needed some more experience in central midfield to get our season back on track but so far it hasn't happened . I don't blame our new young signings because I believe given time they could be good players for us but we really needed something more if we wanted promotion this season .

But this season we have won games comfortably despite not having a decent midfield. I suppose if James and Archibald can bomb down the wings you can simply bypass the middle of the park. But now we don’t have both of them we need to rely on the midfield more and it’s just not strong enough
Can’t say anything too useful. I know I was sold a pup in the 70’s and I will be forever grateful for the stewardship/ownership/management of the club over the last 5 years. The Rotherham game remains a living nightmare but at least it wasn’t played out over 3 months like this season seems it’s going
