Independent Leyton Orient Forum

By 4.55 we’ll all have decided whether fletcher is a genius or a tw*t. Such is the way of Orient

Be interesting to see how much he changes it up after Tuesday. Not many options in the squad so will be surprised if the line-up is radically different.

Hello from Bergen.

I agree, it will be interesting to see if there are any changes. I hope we will start with Dennis and Harrold up front.

COME ON ORIENT!!!!!

Team; Brill, Widdowson, Coulson, Ekpiteta, Happe, Clay, Dayton, Wright, Brophy, Marsh, Harrold.



Subs; Sargeant, Gorman, Judd, JMD, Alabi, Turley, Dennis.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss

How does Clay manage to stay in the side after his performances this season? Time to prove a few of us wrong Craig...

I hope it’s 433 and not 451.

Clay’s performances? He has to do the job of about 3 other players as well as his own because the others are incapable. No wonder his form has dipped.

I think the last people he has to prove wrong are a couple of pillocks on a message board

No way... there was me thinking the players all huddle in a special place in the dressing room and have a group cry after reading fans' comments

As one of the big themes of the season so far has been about “ continuity” I’m not surprised that there has been only minor changes from the defeat in midweek. Not sure about the Ekipeteta & Widdowson combo at full back tbh, which seems to offer very little going forward.

Same players can play very differently for a new boss/new system. Let's wait and see how that develops - and I don't just mean today's game.

Was expecting a big shake-up to the team
I see Plymouth are loosing 4 -0 , justice for that handball !

My i phone's contact with the board been hacked. OK now on PC. Come on O's.

A bizarre run of results with sides passing the 4-0 between them, what odds Exeter to lose 0-4 next game?

Interesting style from the Carlisle #11, short socks Jack Grealish style with gloves like an Arsenal striker.

No missing Brill in his new fluorescent kit today

Penalty Orient, good running by Brophy pushed over...

...converted by Wright 1-0 O's

Bloody marvellous!

Keeping the ball down and moving it around nicely so far. Keep that going O's

Excellent first half by Orient. Should have been more than 1-0.

Clay has done very well.

HT 1-0, best 45 minutes I've seen down here this season. Kept the ball down, nice pass and move with some lovely switches from Happe and Widdowson out to Dayton.

A marked change in style and expression on the ball, players seem to be calmer in possession and looking for the triangles to link up with each other. Caveat that Carlisle are very poor but nonetheless we've been good to watch so far.

Just need to put that second goal away and make sure we don't do anything silly second half.

Controlling the game, just should've really got the second goal

Bad start to the second half. Mega scramble in the box following a corner then smashed home by a Carlisle player 1-1

Cluster f defending

Vital block from Marvin to stop Carlisle from getting a second after their winger got to the byline and put ball across goal.

Need to up the tempo O's...

JMD on for Dayton

Dennis on for Harrold

Two players standing over a corner wtf
