The same Pratley & Moncur some of you were slagging off last weekend.
Make your mind up & get some consistency rather than if the cap fits.
Individual mistakes, James x 1 Brown x 2
But still a good atmosphere up here
Why because we are Orient
Pleased to hear the atmosphere is good, watching the game and it’s the best thing about the game hearing The O’s fans.
But sadly Atmosphere doesn’t = points

Just noticed on Flash Score Stats we are currently showing expected goals 0.00.
Sounds about right.

Big gap in class today. We have been poor and Bolton right at it.

To be honest the board should already know that without us getting a hammering .

And therein lies the problem. Didn't recruit L1 proven quality and it's showing badly against all but the very worst sides

I'm not sure they do, the soundbite in the Ling podcast where he said Brynn was the best keeper they could find was eye opening. if that's the best they could manage in a key position they ain't looking very hard.

Why do people keep going on about what Stevenage are doing ?
Quite obviously this is not last season and they have moved on and improved, but so far, that is not the case with Leyton Orient !

Stevenage second as it stands they score every week and have a manager who knows the plan we on the other hand are clueless
Fatty Evans would get a tune out of this squad for sure

Or trying to outplay a better side Is stupidity and where Wellens lacks and won't let go of his ideals

Though as you see week in week out with Man City sitting in deep and hoping for a draw doesn't work out too well either.

When you've got summer signings like Sanders still not fit enough to start a game at the end of December it's fighting a losing battle.

Nothing else all of us up here can do but have a sing song & enjoy ourselves.
Bottom line we're not got the players against the likes of Bolton but hopefully we'll pick up some points against teams like Wycombe & Cambridge otherwise we will be in trouble unless wellens gets some backing in January

I'd be delighted just to survive this season in League One . Give things a better go next season .

Wellens is being properly found out at this level again. Embarrassing stuff.

Bang on. To me Wellens doesn’t know his team or what formations to play. Perhaps that’s why he’s never got higher than this division?

Who else does the manager have? He can only pick the players in this squad.

Funnily we've had more shots including on goal, than we had in the first half vs Cheltenham. Strange old game sometimes.

I am a big RW fan but I think think there’s some truth in what you say here. Tactically looks wrong to me. Turned up to a gunfight with a dessert spoon.
