Ref linesman odd decision but you've got to defend properly, bizzarely orient on top but every time Colchester go forward look like they can score

And they will! Apart from Swindon we do get possession in games which normally leads to nothing and teams break away from our attacks!!

Normal stuff

Dear oh dear oh dear.

We need one team worse than us in the division this season. I am not holding out much hope.

[RedDwarf 1881]

I'm wondering if Nigel and Kent have now seen enough yet . Now how about bringing in that experienced manager before we get in real relegation trouble .

Under Ross , we ARE that worse team .

Apart from the fact the Orient striker doesn't score. You don't get any points for having the ball and doing nowt with it.

No better than Davis I’m afraid

[Beradogs]

It’s very little to do with the manager. It was the under investment in the team this season. We lost our two best players and have ended up with a bench that includes Alabi. What do you expect.

[F*ck The Poor & Fat]

The JE legacy being pissed away. Just hoping there is one team worse than us.

But I expect the same old poo poo gets rolled, playing too inform teams, not getting the breaks, learning from each game etc.

Wrong choice from day 1.

Still, I expect 2-2 draw now after a storming recovery.

[LeytonOstone]

Truly abysmal we're getting cut to shreds down now left

Yeah this as well

[eagwgw]

Thank god there is only one relegation place. With no Angol we look in big trouble.

Stevenage might take another month to get to 10 points, but can't be relying on other teams.

Yup as much as Ross is showing his inexperience on the tactical front he's been sold a pup by T&T / Ling. We were 2 players short last season and only JE's nous and the sheer bloody-mindedness of a squad determined to win got us through.

We sold 35+ goals over summer, brought in an unknown strike pairing to replace with no competition for their starting spots. The Alabi situation is laughable and I'd love to know who's responsible for it.

CM hasn't been sorted for nearly two seasons now, the fact we have to play 3 CMs because otherwise we haven't got one effective pairing reduces our options from the get-go. I don't think Wright deserves the amount of stick he's getting and JE knew him as a player inside out. However I don't think neither Clay nor Gorman are suitable partners for him and the fact we're relying on a 20 year old loanee from Spurs says it all.

Gonna have to spend big in January - £500k to get out of trouble is worth breaking the bank for as we'll lose double or triple that if we go down.

Thank god there is only one relegation place. With no Angol we look in big trouble.

Stevenage might take another month to get to 10 points, but can't be relying on other teams.

Apparently that decision isn't cut and dried yet so don't be too over confident in there only being one spot. The way we're playing if we got into a bottom 3 battle I wouldn't back ours to make it out, they look very fragile.

[DonaldRocks]

2-1, Wilkinson. Holy moses.

[Mr. Peanutbutter]

Boom, come on!
