Exiles thread Cheltenham away

[Tuffers#2]

Come on Orient

[corkeireorient]

Murky day in Cork -- a win finally today please to kick-start my Xtmas !

[i8ubutler]

Afternoon chaps.
Please let's get a result today.
COYO's

[Mistadobalina]

Bit of an odd line up with Ruel and Theo playing as out and out wingers, Brown at right back.

Happe is gonna have a long afternoon, Cheltenham look very physical and he's already struggled with it.

[Stan1972]

Someone tell Sol Brynn to sop passing the ball to Cheltenhams GK

[Tuffers#2]

Bit of width & movement up front with the starting 3

[essexfootball]

Theo with a poor cross, Ruel unmarked, good cross and that's 1-0, it's these margins

[Tuffers#2]

Yeaay
Red card Cheltenham

[Mistadobalina]

Well played Ruel. Really clever to win that red.

Been a dire match so far but real opportunity now.

[i8ubutler]

Williams of Cheltenham sent off.

[Stan1972]

Cheltenham 10 men
Williams sent off 2 yellow cards in 3 mins

[Tuffers#2]

Agyei heads over

[cymruO]

Just tuned in to hear a sending off! Afternoon chaps, can we capitalise on this?

[Cheshunto]

Our set pieces haven’t got any better

[faith1234]

We are trying agyei is down the centre which is good

[Stan1972]

If we don’t get a win and 3 points from this game today, then we should give up.
We will not get a better chance to get a win than this v bottom of the table 10 man Cheltenham.

[Monkey Boy]

Ruels control is dreadful and to say we lack pace in midfield is an understatement

[i8ubutler]

Prats header hits bar.

[cymruO]

Sounds like Moncur is getting stuck in.

[Cheshunto]

Moncur doing better today

[ComeOnYouOs]

Archibald has gone backwards, cant pass, cant control a ball, awful

[Scuba Diver]

Archibald has gone backwards, cant pass, cant control a ball, awful

Try and say something positive. Go on, I dare you.

[Stan1972]

Keep the faith guys, surely law of averages will play to our favour and we will win this one.

Our build up play is soooo slow, as you would expect v 10’men, lots of possession, but like most games, we don’t look dangerous and have no creativity, to be honest we do t look like we know what to do when we have the ball

Positive
Dan Agyei looks lively (when gets the ball).

Negatives
Brynn kicking is terrible
Brown is having a nightmare at FB
Ruel & Theo not having good games

Just h got to hope one of these attacks we somehow get a goal

[Mistadobalina]

Theo is having a stinker so far tbf.

Our confidence on the ball is clearly shot, we aren't making routine passes and take less chances in possession. I don't think this is even an issue with being in a higher quality division, when you think about how we played against Cambridge, Reading, Barnsley, this doesn't look like the same side.

Have to say that was largely really poor. Ruel cannot play out right, Pratley looks shagged, Mizouni anonymous. Agyei looks way off the pace as well.

[cymruO]

HT and it doesn't sound as though we're taking any advantage. Sounds pretty poor.
