Can’t make it up new kid injured in warm up

We've now lost a player in the warm up in both games, what's going on?

[DrWindy]

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Great goal! Get in O's

[i8ubutler]

Yay !
Ruel.

[Mistadobalina]

Great goal. Theo has always looked better on the left for me, is an excellent crosser of the ball.

[EliotNes]

I'd have put odds of 50-1 against on Ruel scoring our first goal of the season.

Finally, Theo puts in a decent cross.

[Bergen]

We needed that.

[Jeremy Bentham]

As gshaw said, Ruel is barely League Two standard.

[Monkey Boy]

This team is more than beatable, but more directness and get the ball forward a little quicker less poncing in midfield

Yep, we definitely don't mix it up enough.

[RedDwarf 1881]

Leyton Orient FC@leytonorientfc; We can confirm that there has been a change on the substitutes bench for the O's, with Harrison Sodje replacing Shaq Forde.

The guy who is doing the warm-ups needs replacement.

Is this a joke ?

Except the striker we brought in to do that didn’t start . What’s the problem with him ?

[RedDwarf 1881]

Beckles is sh*t.

He was Saturday . I would have dropped him for tonight .

I have no idea but we shouldn’t be relying on just one player?

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Pretty good first half all things consider. Brown and El Miz are bossing midfield. Wycombe sat off us for the first half an hour and allowed us a lot of the ball and we had no cutting edge. Then, for some reason, they decided to press us which led to space in behind and we scored. Really well worked goal and well taken. Scoreline is about right but we need to sort out our passive defending and Howes handling worries me.

[essexfootball]

Lovely finish for the goal

Wycombe are very beatable here, Smyth would've torn these apart

It's not about that though, the system needs to create chances regardless of who is in the front three

Silly yellow by Brown, a player who loves getting stuck in

We don’t know if we can rely on him until we see how he plays . How the fcuk can our players keep getting easily injured like this

[Monkey Boy]

People will be saying we didn’t defend the cross into the box which is true but for the third game running we’ve aloud them to get the cross in again

[cymruO]

Very good first half and a confident performance from the O's. Got to raise their game in the box. Nothing's finding Piggott and too many crosses are not beating the first man. Our goal showed us what can happen with a decent cross.

[Mistadobalina]

Moncur looks like he picked up an injury at the end of the half. Absolute disasterclass start to the season fitness wise.

On the performance, we look defensively so suspect. I still think once we get attackers back and fit, things will click up there given the platform the midfield provides - Brown has looked particularly excellent tonight. But Beckles has major Mackie in 2006 vibes going on, Howes looks shaky as f*ck so far and James is so lackadaisical on the ball.

Very tight game, I think Wycombe will sneak an annoying 2-1 win.

[Cheshunto]

Pigott looks very isolated again and hardly in the game
Hard to believe that Forde is already injured FFS

That’s what I’m beginning to feel as well. I have no confidence in our defence and Beckles is looking very suspect.

[Monkey Boy]

Sod being Ling tomorrow he’ll be on the phone looking for a keeper , centre back,winger and two strikers

[Jeremy Bentham]

The goal was a simple ball over the top from Happe for Theo to cross.

If we lose Theo to injury we really are f*cked as we don't have another player in the squad who can take on a full back.

CB and new loan Keeper should be enough . Strikers are ok if they can stay fit for longer than 5 minutes,
