Kept me occupied as the game was never in danger of doing it

Not a god sign a season of struggle to look forward to but boats seem happy with what we have - criminal and dangerous as a relatively easy start to the season ! Oh well we obviously like struggling and making us fans suffer ..

It's not the board who are happy - it's the footballing management side who are happy and rightly the board won't interfere.
If we don't bring in a couple of players by the transfer deadline then I think we'll be scratching around for points until January.

Re: Stevenage (H) match / Exiles Thread
Quite funny that the stooge podcast said it was a good performance, the other one said a bad.
In reality it was somewhere in between. They had a ton of injuries and three kids at the back, we had a lot of the ball and couldn't fashion a killer chance. Second half was time to turn the screw and build upon a strong first half, and aside from a spell at the start of it, it all petered out.
It was a better performance IMO than the Cheltenham game (which we won) and also the Macclesfield one in that the approach was to clearly be on the front foot more, but in the end I think the lack of quality let us down.
Brophy had a lot of the ball and is of course easy on the eye when none of the other midfield players or wing backs have any tricks to beat a man. But I fear he is simply a modern day Jason Demetriou, excites the crowd but will be quickly forgotten about when we get a player with some end product.
If Brophy had some quality, we would have won, if we also had proper full-backs who could do what full-backs are meant to do, we would have won. Fine margins.
Unlucky not to win, but after a gentle start we are up against much better teams now. Crawley are perhaps the most realistic three points but even they look a bit stronger than us squad-wise. Their reserve striker is Ollie Palmer, who would be some way in front of Harrold and Alabi if he were here.

Re: Stevenage (H) match / Exiles Thread
I would like to know that too. I am often out and about and during the last 2 seasons would be listening to the commentary on my phone.Smendrick Feaselberg wrote: ↑Sat Aug 17, 2019 3:14 pm 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.
I am not going to subscribe if I cant listen on the go.

Can confirm that you can listen on mobile. But, at least with Google Chrome on Android, you need to keep the commentary tab open or you lose it - so you can't have the commentary in one tab and be browsing in another/using an app etcTeeCee wrote: ↑Sat Aug 17, 2019 6:32 pmI would like to know that too.
