Independent Leyton Orient Forum

The live stream is good - if you can find it. The website is so poorly organised.

We've had a few corners and Brophy was left alone at the back. I guess they won't out run him on the break.

Can someone send DD a text and tell him it's difficult to find his commentary from the website.

Angol clears a goalbound JMD shot off the line after a great cut inside from the left and curling attempt by the latter

Turley goes off injured

Judd comes on to replace him. Not so confident of my 0-0 prediction now...

Judd on at right back.

Wright has disappeared

Put in a decent challenge just a moment ago. Marsh however...

Be surprised if we have 22 players on the field by end of the game. Both sides putting in some late tackles.

Hessenthaler looks the kind of player we sound use.

Related to ex-manager Andy Hessenthaler?

His son.

Why are we going deeper and deeper?

HT.

We have to do better.

HT 0-0

A poor game between two poor sides. Orient had the better chances, didn't take either of their two opportunities.

Angol isolated upfront ineffective again. As a lone striker Harrold looks a better option.

0.0 so far mot the greatests but we have not let any goals in so far so in my eyes good half. not a great 1

Shouldn't be surprised really. What is it now, one in the last 14?

Pretty much this..Doing ok but something not quite right..Many misplaced passes.Grimsby whilst not being dirty are a bunch of grapplers.Wrestling anything to the ground.Angol has good sharp feet but not really doing anything(IMO)..This is the typical Os game where we get hit on the break!!

Each time Harrold comes on to chase the game, we start to look dangerous and chances are created. Yet it seems we have to be losing before that happens. I feel sorry for Angol.

Just checked, its two wins in the last 12 (if you include that penalty win against BHA in the EFL Trophy).

Even FIFA has its own custom commentary for us now saying how bad Orient's home record is

Comes up time and again Angol and Wilkinson both look skilful players but need to play with a target man to feed off. They're not a pairing and don't enjoy the lone striker role either. That said the second chance clearing JMDs effort over the bar was a gimme.

Seems I was right first time. Its extraordinary that Ross has been given the job, it really is.

Chance for Grimsby, ball falls nicely in the box struck low but we'll wide of Sargeant's near post.

Another Grimsby half chance, ball pops around the box from a corner but sliced over the bar on half volley.

Grimsby have settled better at start of this half. Orient need to shift up a gear and get control of the game.

Its coming. They've upped their game in the second half.

Gone better than I expected in the first half, but seems that Holloway has changed it up and they have improved.

Would take a draw at this stage with the rest of results as they are.
