Also some of the same people defending Ross on here were telling me to stop over reacting at the manager calling out young players for one mistake.

The fact everyone is ignoring this straight forward question says it all.
Bit further on, one of the fans (Lee) said:Playing with 3 CBs and 2 WBs, you’re really relying on 2 FBs to provide the width and delivery
Going on last year, obviously, I can only go on what I see last year. I see all the home games last year. Delivery is not that great is it, to be honest.
Then they were asked what formation and where they should play, and if Kevin ever had to play as a wingback. Kevin replied:Fullbacks, the 2 boys, Ling and Judd. Juddy is a fantastic FB but for whatever reason, it’s not working for him at the moment, things aren’t working. And Ling, he’s had a tough season last year and a good season, the season before, so I’m more than happy with that. Turley signed as well, more than enough cover and we’ve got a couple of young boys as well, Ogie and Sweeney, more than well covered there.
A few minutes after, Kev went on to say (in reply to the question that most full backs aren't trained to play at wing back:I mean, it depends on the players you’ve got doesn’t it, I don’t think wingbacks suits our players. I think Widdowson done better than I expected last season as a wingback. The other side, we ain't got anybody as far as I’m concerned, to be quite honest. I think Myles Judd, he likes to defend and he can be impetuous at times but I think his distribution needs a lot of work. Sam Ling I don’t think can defend for his life to be quite honest and I don’t think he offers you anything going forward. That’s my opinion, but, I think we don’t have any cover for Joe and it’s only really young lads which might be an issue going forward.
Most fullbacks these days don’t defend very well, do they? And I’m even talking about Premiership FBs. They play more like wingers
He didn't slag Judd off to the same extent.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 10:31 am It’s all very interesting considering Ross publicly called out our other right back in his post match interview, for making a mistake in the game.
But had a problem with someone else doing it to a different right back.

The club are ultra sensitive to anything about Sam Ling. Even when he first arrived here, i remember Justin , on a video, emphasising over & over, that Martin Ling had absolutely nothing to do with his son coming here......yeah right!!!!!!
On twitter, during a game, whenever Sam Ling does something pretty ordinary, the clubs twitter feed makes it sound like he's done something amazing etc
Nepotism is alive and thriving at Leyton Orient fc thats for sure

Thanks for putting all that down.

His language was a bit clumsy but the essence of it was spot on. He equally criticised Judd but Ross hasn't mentioned that criticism. They're either being overly protective because he's Martin Ling's son or they rate him as a good right back. Either way, they're in the wrong.
The context is different though.PoundhillO wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 11:23 amDidn’t slag Judd of to the same extent as this would have been unwarranted and unfair !Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 11:03 amHe didn't slag Judd off to the same extent.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 10:31 am It’s all very interesting considering Ross publicly called out our other right back in his post match interview, for making a mistake in the game.

With that in mind we should probably not have signed him.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 11:29 am Btw as much as I don’t rate Ling, I get that his situation is difficult. No matter what he does, he knows that some people will always think he’s in the team cos of his old man. I think the club clamouring to defend or big him up in any situation doesn’t help that but I understand it.
Ling will never be a proper success here for those reasons, and his ability (imo)
I don’t think it helped that it was strange signing at the time anyway.Max B Gold wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 11:41 amWith that in mind we should probably not have signed him.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 11:29 am Btw as much as I don’t rate Ling, I get that his situation is difficult.

Stick him in midfield and you will find out.CreamofSumYungGai wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 11:53 amHe's nowhere near the footballer his old man was.

He’s main position was centre mid as a youth player.

For what I’ve seen of him he is a midfielder all day long.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 12:28 pmHe’s main position was centre mid as a youth player. And I can see that.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 12:27 pmI honestly don't know, has he ever played in midfield before ?

I always admired the height his old man could jump from a standing start to avoid a tackle.Byways1 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 11:59 amStick him in midfield and you will find out.CreamofSumYungGai wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 11:53 amHe's nowhere near the footballer his old man was.
It doesn't sound like they are getting involved though. It seems Embleton brought it up and then Gilson apologised for it. Had it not been mentioned in the interview then would anyone had even known it had rattled Embleton's cage, let alone there being an apology? I wonder if this got back to Gilson via Dulcet Dave after the game and that's when the apology came.Proposition Joe wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 11:43 am If the Club are coming out and getting involved in a show's output based on comments like that then it's a) weird and b) made it worse. Plenty of people who wouldn't have listened to the show are now aware of it what was said (which, let's be honest, isn't that bad) and discussing it elsewhere.
