He's specifically referring to the FA Cup tie at Maidstone last season and that is exactly what he did.RedO wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 5:26 pmNo he didn’t. Justin stuck with the core players as much as absolutely possible.
What a curious claim.

That was a pragmatic choice. Drop out of the cup to focus on winning the title, which was vital for future of the club. It worked perfectly.
I agree, and I'm aware fringe players were also used in that cup tie.gshaw wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 5:38 pmThat was a pragmatic choice. Drop out of the cup to focus on winning the title, which was vital for future of the club. It worked perfectly.
This season we needed a cup run to boost the coffers and get a bit of feel-good factor going again. Today has had completely the opposite effect.

On one hand fair point but Justin's logic was that he believed we could win that one and it'd be good for morale. From what I remember we put out a stronger side for FA Trophy than we did for FA Cup.spen666 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 5:55 pmgshaw wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 5:38 pmThat was a pragmatic choice.

You may have a point that wasn't total bill iforient didn't continue to compete in the FA Trophy .
It's not often we agree with each other, however if you didn't see the game I'll tell you now it was awful, It is the only time I've contemplated leaving a game before the finish, he has to go simples. Russell will not get us up but he will steady the ship. Not an ideal solution as i'm sure you would agree, however needs must, what do you think.Disoriented wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 5:25 pm Time for Teague to tell Ling to pack his bags. Enough is enough.

At least last year we went out to a club at our level and not from four divisions below us. Arguably the clubs worst ever result and with Scunthorpe up next . A club we rarely seem to do that well against .
Get him in the building ASAP . Should have got him back in the first place . At least he's been managing and coaching for these past six years .point nine one eight wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 6:15 pmIt's not often we agree with each other, however if you didn't see the game I'll tell you now it was awful, It is the only time I've contemplated leaving a game before the finish, he has to go simples.

If we wanted to stay in-house I would have given it to Danny Webb. IMO, he done very well with the side while working under the pressure of Beelzebub's circusAckneyAwks wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 6:39 pm Due to the tragic circumstances of Justin and where the club finds itself now there are two scenarios to choose. A new manager( inc Fletcher) should be allowed to hire there own staff and make wholesale signings. The other option is a new inhouse manager, my choice would be Jobi. He would then also be given the opportunity to bring in fresh new players. Probably the second option would appeal to the owners, as is a cheaper way to go. I know everyone feels terrible at the moment but Carl Fletcher is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Things change quickly, today angry and frustrated. Just six months agoe happy and excited.
If not Russell then we definitely needed somebody like him. Unfortunately what we got was the complete opposite .Eat The Rich wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 7:20 pm Slade hated living down south, didn't he? I really couldn't see him coming back and its probably for the best. I'm not sure he could recreate that great team we had and I'd hate for his legacy to be spoiled. I had more fun under Slade than any O's manager I've known in my lifetime. That team was the absolute dogs danglers.
Webb always struck me as more of a manager personality than Embleton. Seems Ling has his favourite though...RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 7:20 pmIf we wanted to stay in-house I would have given it to Danny Webb.

I'd have definitely had Webb and Jobi as his assistant. Webb has 'it' when it comes to authority and leadership. I'd actually believe that we were moving in a definite direction under him and with a commitment to developing young talent. Its entirely possible that he made it clear that he wasn't interested in succeeding JE which is why Ross took one for the team. If, as I suspect, Fletch doesn't last very long then I'd be more than happy giving Webb the job until the end of the season, during which time we can do some proper planning and decide if an outstanding candidate is available or whether we should let the Webb/Jobi partnership develop.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 7:20 pmIf we wanted to stay in-house I would have given it to Danny Webb.

Whilst I’d agree with you, what Justin did after the idiot chairman we had can’t be underestimated. He took a club which had been decimated from every possible angle, gave it back its pride, its belief and sense of fun. That journey apart from the cup run to the semI final was probably the best I’ve seen in my time of supporting the O’s. He built a club once more from the wreckage and to me he will always be remembered fondly and as an O he made me smile and believe again.Eat The Rich wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 7:20 pm Slade hated living down south, didn't he?
