Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Sat by a beautiful fishing lake deep in the Cotswolds - it almost escaped me completely that we’re away at Salford today.

Sadly I see nothing more than a 2-0 defeat and more unhappiness. About the same here as it’s gone cloudy and not a carp to be had anywhere.

Anyway, I’m going back to sleep.

Toddle pip.

Clouds moving away from S Wales - hope the sun will come out for us today COYO'S

I fancy Orient to show some grit today and get at least a good away score draw, maybe even win with a late goal.

Checked their board and it seems a bit slow.Although their tribute to JE was an extremely nice thing to do not all see it that way.

Can only see a defeat for us today.Anything else is a bonus.

Hello from Bergen.

COME ON ORIENT!!!

I agree.

GOOD.

Reckon it will be the same team as Sat, but with Judd instead of Ling.

Was going to watch the stream but being forced to go for a walk. probably for the best.

Team vs. Salford; Brill, Ling, Happe, Coulson, Ekpiteta, Brophy, Wright, Clay, Dennis, Wilkinson, Angol.

Interesting. Assume that’s a back 5 and Dennis in the hole? Bit strange.
Just don’t want us to concede another goal with a long ball over the top.

Back to the 5-3-2 as I suspected. Going there to try and nick a point and hope Happe can win the aeriel duels. Back to no attacking threat so I'll stick with 2-1 Salford and that's being generous with us getting one lol.

Subs; Sargeant, Harrold, Alabi, JMD, Gorman, Judd, Marsh.

Afternoon chaps.
Sunshine and heavy showers here.
I predicted a 1 - 1 this afternoon. I may have been a tad optimistic on mature reflection.
Oh well.

C'mon you O's! Let's wipe the smug grins off of the class of '92.

I'm going for a battling 1-1. Goal from Happe from a corner.

I’m not too sure, I think it’s a 4 at the back with Happe in at left back and Brophy and Dennis on the wings.

Interesting take on it, looking at the Salford lineup I don't recognise as many names from last season. Wonder whether they still play the big physical long ball game.

My initial thought was the standard 5 at the back, Brophy in place of injured Widdowson. The 3 in midfield with Dennis taking JMD's spot and usual two up top.

He can’t be daft enough to revert to a back 5.
Can he?

C'mon you O's - watching via the stream from France. Fancy a 1-0 win.

Is that Happe at fullback that I predicted a week ago and everyone laughed at me. Or is Brophy at the back again.

If its Happe at left back then he's going to need some protection because mobility is not one of his strengths. Who's he up against?

I think it’s Danny Lloyd

FFS! that didn't take long.

So is it 5 and the back or 4? Not that it's worked...

Bugger.

Haven’t seen the goal. Assume it was from Lings side...
