Totally unbelievable if you look at his scoring rate since he joined us.I suppose by the law of averages he had to score eventually.
Certainly no reason to keep him in the squad, as even Widdowson scored the other week

TBF though mate , with a new manager coming in everybody deserves to start with a clean slate .Hopefully that goal will give him some confidence to go on and do better.

The Alabi bit made me laugh on the first post.

Our recent performances would suggest we're a bit more than that . We scored 4 against them today and we didn't even have either of our first choice strikers on the pitch

Only last month Swindon came to BR and run rings around us winning 1-3, and going second or third in the table while we were struggling near the bottom. We are now just two points behind them and second highest scorers in the division.
It's a funny old game this football!

Fantastic result today.

Top man.

Isn’t it just.I mentioned a couple of weeks ago after Swindon demolished us they’ve been on a downward spiral

What a brilliant afternoon, like others didn't see that coming.
The clean sheet & Alabi's goal were real bonuses. Am delighted for the lad, obviously not the most skilful player but that goal will hopefully do his confidence the world of good & result in an improvement which will help the team.
But let's not carried away, early days.
Well done to RE & big respect for taking the reins after Justin's tragic death.
Well things are clear now - Fletcher out!

The bloke dont want the job end of story.
And take that f*cking stupid cap off.

Don't wear a cap, have always worried that it causes baldness!

So , he can do it after all . Yay , now 4-0 to Orient . Happy days .

Don’t get me wrong, even as he was running with the ball he looked uncomfortable, like he’s not at full pace whilst dribbling with it, but it worked.

Has had another run since, again looks so uncomfortable running with the ball at his feet.

So we win and you still find something to be critical about jeez

Watch the goal (and the subsequent run if that’s also on the highlights, which I doubt) back on the highlights and tell me if I’m wrong.

I’m not, by the way.

If he scores and wins a penalty I don’t give a sh*t if the odd run is crap.

Of course.

It was last season. Can people really not remember back to last season?

Plus, of course, we haven’t actually scored 10 goals in three games. We’ve scored 7. Not like Dwarf”yyyy to get things horribly wrong...

Great result today. Nearly halfway to safety.

I mentioned promotion a few pages back but I hope I'm not getting too carried away. There's still a lot for our new manager to sort out, especially with the defence. ( and a lot of that will be confidence) But I have to say I'm feeling a lot more confident about things down Brisbane Road way.
