Exiles Thread v Carlisle ( a)

[Max Fowler]

I know what you mean though - we were hanging on rather than controlling the game as we normally do - despite the extra man.

F'Cough that's Arsenals version

This is ours

A wins a win away at Carlisle who aren't mugs. Only saw the last 40 mins but thats the first time this season I've questioned our mental strength and fitness. We looked like a team with 9 men. No midfield, no passes to feet, not one long ball won and they looked shattered. Drinan didnt even attempt to stop a cross coming into the box with a minute to go.

Spot on Mr Wumble. Clay and Brown are good without the ball but we couldn't keep hold of the damn thing so it kept coming back. As you say, we looked like the team down a player. In the end, Carlisle knew we had no threat and were able to bombard us without fear.

[VeganO]

That was nervy but scoring 3 away from home against a good team when you're not on top form, is a really good sign.
Well done O's.
You can't beat a Sat night when we've won & are top again!

Who won?
We did, don't care what we looked like at the end, if we were holding on on bombing forwards trying to score a 4th, end of day it’s the result that matters!
The result says 3-2 Away win for table topping Leyton Orient at in form Carlisle!
So Get in!!
Enjoy it boys

and to the O’s fans who travelled to Carlisle today, have a safe and enjoyable journey home, we salute you

Salute them?

I think Dave said there was about 200 of them there. That’s embarrassingly bad. They should be ashamed.

Embarrassing bad. I suppose,you were sitting at home . They all deserve a Pat on the back. True. Supporters. Well done

[Chelmsford Swimmer]

Switched off at the back and now it's 2-3, never do it the easy way do we

As I've said before we're not that great in defence . The weakest part of our team are the CB's.

Yeah, Beckles and Happe are the weakest part of our team. Get Real!

I was out shopping so shows how little you know.

[Story of O]

Less goals conceded in League 2, yes must be really bad

Shopping for a sense of humour I hope

We are the only team team in the division who have let in less than 10 goals and people are still whining about our centre backs.

7 points clear of 4th place Mansfield.

Great result today
With almost a 1/3 of the season done that 7 point gap is looking very handy

[EliotNes]

Signing in from the Hamlet of Hornchurch. Currently watching England make hard work of beating Afghanistan in the Cricket T20 World Cup, looking forward to DD commentating on an Os victory (please) soon and later the Rugby league World Cup England vs France and (hopefully) another England win. What a day of sport.

COYOs

England win in the T20
Orient win in L2
England win in the RL
and to cap it the Aussies lose to the Kiwis in the T20

What a day of results
Fantastic

Happe and Beckles were immense today. Despite us playing terribly, Vigs has very little to do. Beckles handled the direct stutt brilliantly.

I don't know if its my imagination but Rob Hunt seems to be picking up a Yellow in virtually every game he plays .

[SteveD]

Hunt, Pratley, Archibald and James are I believe all on four yellow cards - and the cut-off date for a one-match ban after five yellows is December 31st!
