Matchday (evening) and exiles thread vs Rotherham 04/03/25

Sounds like we need a complete clear out.

Two weeks ago, some were saying we could make the Top-2 with this squad, but a decimated Orient team (almost a reserve side) has not won in 4 games, so yeah, get them All out, and get them out fast.

Also question Ling/The Board/The budget etc etc ad nauseum.
It's the fanbase's way.

Don't get angry Scuba. Chill...

What's people's views on Markanday? Can't say I've seen him a lot, but he doesn't seem involved enough to me.

Hasn't had a consistent run of games yet. Looks handy and was probably our best player against Charlton, but equally has had a few matches where he hasn't made an impact.

He's tricky and has got good close control. But you're right, he's not in the game enough. Hopefully this can improve.

When we played against Charlton their manager stated that they had a fully fit squad to pack from. And a couple of weeks earlier I read that Charlton had been unchanged for 5 consecutive games. So, no squad rotation for them. Is it just that our high energy, high pressing game generates more injuries? Is it something to do with the way we train or that we sign players who are injury prone? We do seem to suffer more injuries than many teams.

There's definitely an argument that the high pressing game causes more injuries. However, the players that get through the most work on the pitch - Galbraith, Kelman, Brown, Pratley who haven't been impacted.

Richie has come out and said the facilities at the Chigwell School are not good enough and contribute to our injury problems.

Calm down mate. You're over reacting.

I think Richie is right . My mate at work who supports QPR said that Paul Smyth has hardly missed any games due to injury since his return to Rangers . When he was with us he missed loads of games because of injuries . Maybe it's down to the fact QPR have better training facilities than us .
