Poor first half hour. They’re no better.

I’ve counted at least four instances where Morecambe have tried dropping the ball on our six yard line. We’ve won every one of them so far. Expect everybody to melt down when they eventually get a goal from one of these asking why we can’t clear our lines.

Should be 1-0 down. Bad miss from a yard.

How can we not score against the poorest team in the league that have had 27 goals put past them before today’s match.
What on earth is Alabi doing in the squad, unbelievable!!

In France. Didn’t think anything could be worse than being at the game. I was wrong.
You certainly live up to your username
Bit,like Orient. The 0s. But it’s a matter of time, we will win.

Morecombe 7 shots and 5 corners to our 1 shot. Going well. But we will sneak it.

If we are second best to the poorest team in the Division by a long chalk, Fletch needs a kick up the backside !

I think it's the right decision actually, even though I believe he is a automatic starter at present based on prior form.
Along with Angol he's our best striker so he's got to start .

He will be on for the second half.

We always seem to play better for half the game. Second half it is then

I have the live stream, we look second best but we seem to be very defensive, perhaps that's the plan? Only hoofball to Harrold going forward.

Orient have offered nothing going forward awful
7-0 to Morecambe on corners at the moment

Norman Stanley needs to sort this out lack lustre all round

I have seen all the games this season, but this has to be one of the worst 1st halfs.

Only highlight was Boatman jr. (as ballboy) who showed great enthusiasm before the game.

Lets hope Wilko is brought on in the 2nd half.

Lack lustre, bit like his interviews really. Not inspiring. Still, poor first half means decent second half I expect. How to take an in form team and create a poor side.

Bearing in mind Wilkinson is available but missing, this is a negative formation lacking ambition. One shot after 35 minutes against the worst team in the league.. I really hope we don't have a 'lets not get beat' manager on our hands. The signs are ominous

If Wilkinson is on the bench then he must have been deemed fit enough to play.
Not to play Wilkinson from the start of the second half after a dire first half would be negligent by Fletch !

I know it's still early days but so far I'm not impressed by Fletch .He needs to sort this out ASAP and not being so bloody laid back.

Sad thing is none of us would be surprised if we lose this game.
