Re: Thread to RIP into the moaned to soon brigade
What? You don’t think the boys read the boards at half time? Ross clearly did. And changed it. He may have read some of the comments out as well. That’s why the players were so motivated to prove is wrong. Well done to the message board I say. The 12th man.

Bring in a holding midfielder and win the next game, not hard is it?

Look what happens when you stop persisting that 532 nonsense.
1 decent half of football does not mean the people who criticise Ling and Embleton are wrong.

Nope but half a season of moaning about 532 & a whole season of moaning at the lack of a decent CM was supposed to mean we blew promotionBiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2019 9:53 pm Look what happens when you stop persisting that 532 nonsense.

JE proved them wrong as will Ross ML KT & NT.

Re: Thread to RIP into the moaned to soon brigade
We were top when we were forced into the 5-3-2 because of the lack of CM cover (injuries to Clay, Lee and McAnuff at the time). Somehow JE made it work just enough to see us over the line but it didn't earn us the points that put us up there in the first place.tuffers#1 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2019 10:13 pmNope but half a season of moaning about 532 & a while season of moaning at the lack of a decent CM was supposed to mean we blew promotionBiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2019 9:53 pm Look what happens when you stop persisting that 532 nonsense.

It was never the formation to start a new season with and hopefully tonight throws the shackles off our attacking players. They had to throw caution to the wind and go for it tonight, now let's see that on Saturday. Be bold and go out with intention to win the game with the same high intensity that got 3 goals in 45 minutes tonight.

Absolutely spot on.

What frustrated me last season was exactly that. When they sat back, it encouraged other teams and made it hard. When Orient kept the ball down and played attacking football, they could destroy anybody (within reason). There was a mindset and possibly still is that 'playing attacking football doesn't get you promoted'. If Orient carried on with their good football instead of reverting back to the defensive stuff, they'd have sewn the league up by the end of February.
I said it at the same time last season, with these players, 433 is the formation to play. Hopefully Ross carries it on now.

What's so hard to get your head around? Orient dropped points because they were playing poo poo. Other teams fighting at the top dropped points at the same time, letting Orient off the hook.

Same as back in the days of Slade's stubborn obsession with the wonky 4-5-1 that he had a similar moment where he was forced to change, which then kickstarted our 2010 (?) cup run and subsequent better form.
