Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Hello from Bergen. It's raining like hell over here, but I am feeling rather optimistic.

Clay in for Pratley. No Smyth


COME ON ORIENT!!!!!!!!

Smyth on the bench , keep him fit for cobblers game

Lets hope so.

Not a surprise to see all 3 of Pratley, Smyth and Brown rested.

Big games needed from Moncur and Theo to give us that bit of sparkle.

Is Ruel injured?

Think hes Sick .

The heavy pitch at Newport won’t suit Smyth, perhaps another reason why he’s on the bench.

Evening chaps.
Lots of heavy showers here today.
As ever .................
COYO's

Signing in from the Hamlet of Hornchurch. Paid my £10 for the TV stream.

Squad rotation today with players not in the starting line-up to rest on the bench. That's not a surprise IMO.

I noted from the Match Preview on the O's website that the ref averages 3.35 yellow cards a game, so I expect a few today (e.g. El Miz, Clay)

COYOs, make us smile.

We could do with winning this , after comparing Stevenage upcoming fixtures compared to ours.
Yesterdays results see "the pack" closing !

I think Richie is doing a good job in handling the players minutes . He knows what he's doing . I think we'll probably see Smyth as a second half substitute .

I agree , we need to win this one and open that gap again from 4rh spot .

He felt a twinge against Stevenage .
RW wont want to bring him on Id suspect

That 'Hi Ho Newport County' sounds Sh!te.
Let's stick to Taxi.

Smyth rested so January transfer not scuppered by injury!

Don't even joke about it . He's arguably the last player we'd want to see leave ......not that I want to see any of them leave this season . I'm happy with our squad the way it is . However we need to try and tie down soon to be out of contract players and if possible sign El- Miz. Actually I'd also like to keep Kelman as well .

Come on Crawley

Poor start.

COME ON ORIENT!!!

Can already tell the ref is going to give anything and everything.

We are disjointed first ten. Front 4 completely absent

Well under the cosh so far

Why do we start games so slowly and why don't we know what to do at short (normal) throw-ins? Answers on a postcard

I thought it was my imagination but I've began to notice that we do start games slowly . God knows why . Anyway we have to pull our finger out and get back into this game .
