Independent Leyton Orient Forum

That's embarrassing, Swindon playing exhibition football and Brill, well I dunno what he was doing there.

We look #tinpot

Ross has to take the full blame for this, appalling tactics

We are looking like a team that's never played a game of football

SHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!

I think that ross does not know what formation to play and also no jmd

Brillo needs a rest

Unless he can mastermind a second half miracle that's his interim review done in my book. Going back to the 5-3-2 has been our undoing.

0-3

Sigh.

Christ on a bike!

That Yates lad has caught my eye before. Very promising young player.

Ultra defensive starting formation. Backfired spectacularly today, I'm afraid.

On paper, that's our strongest squad available at the moment. Had a feeling, Swindon were going to do us today.

Taxi for Mr. Embleton.

Set out the side with a losers' mentality in true "little Leyton Orient" fashion. That's the result. Indefensible.

Sad thing is, the scoreline doesn't even flatter them.
Do we have the worst defence in the League now?

Need to change it up at half time. Points are gone but FFS let's have some self respect.

Ross had been slightly ahead of my expectation going into today but the formation change was a huge own goal. Just why?

Everything has back fired

Swindon had 66% possession. 8 Shots to our 3. 4 on target to our 1. 6 corners to our zilch. We are winning the foul count, though, 8 to 1.

Nuff said!

Wilkinson the latest in a long line of none scoring Os striker

Beyond awful. None of the players have a clue where they are meant to be. The ‘wing backs’ are in no mans land, normally 2 on 1. The central midfielder haven’t won a tackle. Wilkinson couldn’t hold his dinner down and Brill should have done better for both goals.

This could be 5 or 6. Ross looks completely out of his depth.

Total embarrassment. A reversion to a back five that's failed to prevent 3 goals, a midfield that's non existent and a team lacking in any ideas. Swindon at least yard faster with their no. 7 totally bossing the game.

Well that was terrible

This could end up 6-0 if something drastic doesn’t change in second half.

Swindon out classing in every department

What’s the bl*ody point in playing 5 defenders if you’re going to ship 2+ goals every match.

Like has been mentioned the only player with a touch resembling a footballer is Angol..But absolutely no support

Giving away 66% possession at home says it all..We don’t even look like getting a corner

When it comes to it Ross doesn't have the confidence to go out there and impose himself and it filters through in the tactics and approach. He's run scared of the opposition today rather than going out to try and beat them.

That's the classic sign of someone who isn't suited to the top job imo. No shame in that, just some people are better suited in a support role and for me he's one of them.

I'd like to think this could work as a reverse Jonah and it can be quoted back to me in an hour or so as we go 4-3 up. I think it unlikely though somehow.

Swindon #30 has tore our backline a new one today. Reality check for those who thought we have a top 6 squad, the step up in quality from NL is clear as day out there.

Now on my 4th pint of Guinness in the Walthasrptowo WMC.
Didnt i make the right decision.
