[Disoriented]

We really are profoundly rubbish, aren't we.

Terrible game.

[Tenerife]

Orient scored two goals with one shot on target.

[Bergen]

Poor game, but we got a point and Johnson got a goal.

And, to be fair; Craig Clay played one of his best this season.

[DissOppointed]

At last someone being positive

Blimey if that's his best we are stuffed next season. Clay was poor but Wright was even worse, CM aside from Cissé were awful.

Have to agree with the original post not sure what you expect from a lge 2 footballer he’s hardly gonna be du bruyne

Dawson, Vincelot, Adams that kind of level of physicality and imposing on the game. Clay misplaces far too many passes to be like a Spring or Thornton type so he's neither here nor there. Not a first-choicr enforcer nor creative CM.

If we want to progress Clay needs to be a fringe player 3rd / 4th choice, no way a starter at this level.

Final para spot on.

[Bergen]

Don`t disagree with that.

But, I thought Clay worked really hard today and won a lot of 50-50. Some of his passing was poor, but it has been much worse earlier in the season.

[tuffers#1]

Need tuffers#1 to read the riot act now.

He’ll be here!! Don’t threat

Dont Fret !!!

That kinda sums it up "not good but not as bad as usual". Back to the old Orient ways...

Haha ok..Not concentrating

[BIGRON]

Clay was announced man of the match ....spot on in my opinion .

[LeytonOstone]

Cisse for me

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Imagine discussing Clays performance after Wright has just put in a showing like that.

[Bergen]

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Did he seriously compare Ruel to Danny halfway through that?

[o-no]

He talks about these things like he's a casual observer, not the manager.

Its YOU Ross, you're the boss now.

When 'we' don't do things well enough, YOU need to have a plan to deal with it.

[Thor]

Not good enough.

Johnson looks really poor.

Because he is Bergen

Maybe hats why he only got an 18 month contract?

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

He didn’t win or retain the ball once in 90 minutes. Not once.

That was as ineffectual a strikers performance as I have ever seen from an orient player. Ever.

[RedDwarf 1881]

We really are profoundly rubbish, aren't we.

Terrible game.

But nowhere near as bad as the Macclesfield game . I reckon a draw today was the right result between two evenly matched sides . I thought Sotiriou made a positive impact when he came on and gave us some extra impetus going forward . What pleased me toady was instead of trying to hold out the game at 2-2 , we went looking for the winner . It made a nice change from a couple of recent games where we've conceded late goals .

He's a fox in the box type striker . Is Ross using him or any of our strikers correctly. ?

Agree about Ruel. He has become a vital figure in the team now.

[Fisch]

A/C closed.

[Disoriented]

Angol must be p*ssed to lose his place to Johnson.

Why? Can’t recall him scoring a hatful of goals thus making him indispensable to the team.
