Re: Stevenage (H) match / Exiles Thread
Does anyone on here know whether you can listen to the Orient TV audio commentary on a mobile device? The FAQ says both that Orient TV content can only be accessed on a desktop for EFL reasons (though the old Orient Player commentary could be streamed via mobiles,nso presumably there are no issues now) and that video will only work on a desktop without a reference to the audio.

It's Victor the Assistant Referee again

Got away with two pen shouts in two weeks, lucky escape after an uncharacteristically sloppy mistake by Coulson.
Re: Stevenage (H) match / Exiles Thread
Cuthbert injured....... Gonna be disappointing if we can't get over the line here. Their defence now has 3 teenagers in it, 2 of them making their League debut.

Re: Stevenage (H) match / Exiles Thread
A very 6/10 game. Not bad but not that good either.
You can see both sides struggle to score goals. Our approach play is nice, Brophy beating their players with ease but no end product. Stevenage carry very little attacking threat but our defence still looks likely to drop a clanger.
Clay and Wright look too similar in CM, too many times Stevenage ran straight through it on a counter or loose ball.
8 mins added time for injuries, hope no-one's in a rush to get home

Dominating but no goals. These games have a nasty habit of going wrong

Re: Stevenage (H) match / Exiles Thread
Both have some great tricks in them to beat a man, need some end product particularly from Brophy who makes so many crossing opportunities for himself then blasts it over the head of everyone in the middle.
If he can add that to his game he'll be coveted by clubs higher up as he's got everything else with the pace, control and dribbling skills.
These are here for the taking if Ross is brave enough to really go for it.

Incredible double save from the Stevenage keeper, probably should've scored though two shots inside the box one with keeper on the floor

Re: Stevenage (H) match / Exiles Thread
That was the first big chance we've had really, others were half chances ar best. Have to watch the highlights to see if it was a good save or weak finish.

Re: Stevenage (H) match / Exiles Thread
Can see a sucker punch goal going in if we ain’t careful need to put chances away nothing on bench to change that other than Dennis maybe !
Re: Stevenage (H) match / Exiles Thread
The way the BBC are telling it we should be scoring for fun - 71% possession.

It ain't gonna be a high scoring season for us..... really don't see where the goals are going to come from.

Re: Stevenage (H) match / Exiles Thread
We're missing Jobi enormously. Think his role of playmaker is not fully appreciated by some - we lack a killer ball without him.

Re: Stevenage (H) match / Exiles Thread
Gorman on for Clay, who's had a poor game imo
Passage of play just summed it up, about 10-12 passes working side to side slowly, carefully. Slip a ball in to the byline... scooped cross overhit past everyone out for goal kick.
It's all very "nice" but no cutting edge. Could still be one scrappy goal in it for either side though, it's that kind of game.
Dennis on for Wilkinson, who tries but may feel he could've done better with his chances today.
Absolutely, his intelligence, vision and leadership on the pitch are a huge miss.

What caused that? Was surprised to see so long left when I got online.

Their players going down like a sack of spuds one after the other. Two subs in first 20 mins or so (including Cuthbert, who got a nice reception from O's fans when he went off).
Expecting another good 4-5 mins this half too.

The ginger prince arrives!
Harrold on for Happe
Good hit by Gorman from distance, keeper makes the save.

Re: Stevenage (H) match / Exiles Thread
Vital save from Brill at the death to get us a point, low and barely sighted but strong hand to push goalbound shot away.
FT 0-0... meh
