Looks like the old Crawley magic has done us again

What a load of crap.

Loads of teams do it, not just us.

But we excell at it !!

Really? Other than the Bromley game (when we were down to 10) when did we last do that?

Very disappointed with that.

What a joke, I am so glad I did not renew my season ticket.
Same old O,s , as I said after our away win in the week “one Swallow doesn’t make a Summer”
I was really hoping to be proved wrong.

It's one bloody game mate - get a grip FFS

Disappointed not to get anything from the game after being 2-1 up. It's going to be an interesting season.

We were as good as down to 10 men when Alabi came on !!

That's got nothing to do with my question. You just threw your usual hissy fit because you can't help but act like a child when things don't go our way.

Oh so losing 3-2 to Crawley was things going your way, your weird and clearly devoid of rightful emotion.

F’ng rient!!! Honestly!!!

Oh well we lost again.Roll on the next match.

That's football karma turning back on us after Tuesday. All evens out over a season as they say.

Think we will need to bring in some more quality at the back. Having no cover for Widdowson is also ridiculous at this level.

Win or lose, just seems to be arguments.....

I kind of expected something like this. The win against Mansfield was brilliant and our change in formation shocked them a bit.
But there is a bit of a step up in quality overall, we had more of the game but were punished. In a few games last season we got away with it because of bad finishing, that'l happen less this season.

More lessons for Ross, he has proved so far he can adapt, defensively we need to do better. In the same way that we don't get carried away from the last win, no over-reactions on this defeat.

But put it this way, Ollie Palmer is their reserve striker. We have Alabi and Harrold. As much as I don't think Palmer is top-end League Two material he is clearly much better than what we have on the bench.

It does seem quite hopeful to be expecting things from Alabi, but in some way I think the sentiment that a lot of fans have towards him has made it easier for him to be de-listed.

Actually that's one thing that Ross will have to explain today. Wilkinson was getting battered by their defenders and needed a break, Harrold was ideal for that but Alabi comes on and does... ummm...

Weird games. Very impressive for 3/4ths and then totally fell apart. Marvin was very poor, Brophy is no left back and at 2-2, that's exactly when we need someone with a bit more grit in the centre of midfield as we suddenly got overwhelmed.

Early days, plenty of positives in terms of quality of the football and the number of changes being created. We will need to manage games better though and we will need to a lot more defensive nous.

Yep, didn't understand that sub at all. Bringing Alabi on also took Dennis away from his position. As is mentioned elsewhere, they brought on a goalscorer in Palmer and we brought on Alabi. Very disappointing.

Why bring Alabi on? An absolutely baffling decision. Also, who was the numpty who said Gorman was the best passer at the club?

Ross has a lot to answer for tonight - we were defensively and tactically inept today.

We looked great going forward with some excellent interplay. Now we need to use this experience to work out how to protect the back four, was a problem last season and the trade off was the 5-3-2 formation. We scored one goal in our first three games and never really looked a threat, now we do, just need to sort things out defensively.

Mrs Gorman.

He is.Didn't you see the game pass him by?

What about our great new signing (loan) that we were all waiting for that doesn’t get a game. Does anything ever change with Orient. Where has the money gone for Bonne and Koroma. As for Alabi. If he is the answer. What on Earth is the question.

And joint top of the league too for a while. All going so well until the defence took a well earned rest. Wtf was that defending all about.

Fair play to Ollie. He refused to join in the goal celebrations.
