Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Hello from Bergen

Very cold and snowy over here. Temperatures are due to fall to around minus -15 this evening. Faens drittvær!!

I could use some cheering up, Sam.

COME ON ORIENT!

Leyton Orient: Vigouroux, Ling, Akinola, Thompson, Brophy, Kyprianou, Clay (C), Freeman, Wilkinson, Kemp, Sotiriou.

Subs: Sargeant, Cisse, McAnuff, Abrahams, Widdowson, Turley, Dayton.

Same shape different personnel? Kemp left Sotiriou middle Wilkinson right?

Coulson being handed the blame for Saturday or picked up a knock?

Josh Wright in midfield for Crawley. No JMD (of course).

Same formation, hopefully not the same slow ponderous football

Come on O's have a Stonker & thrash this lot tonight

Presuming Coulson is injured it looks like a slap in the face to Turley promoting Thompson over him. Don't have a problem but just saying. Going with the same front three with teh same shape is the problem, Sotiriou can't lead the line, as shown by the weekend. Love him to prove me wrong by netting a hat trick but suspect he will just run aimlessly at the CBs to no avail.

Can't really argue against it, only annoyance is Sotirou upfront again if he has no support and gets mans handled

We have to play fast football, move the ball quickly and with purpose, close and press down Crawley quickly and push them into errors.

If we do the above we win, it’s that simple.

Ling starting again tonight absolutely un f*cking believable, Embleton hasn’t got a clue yet again.Starting with one hand tied behind our teams back.

Same 433 formation that doesn't work without DJ who converts one in two of the few chances we make, , same front three, same weak link at the back.. Brophy again wasted.. I am very very worried that its going to be same as..

It isn't that simple, it never is.

Can't believe that we aren't starting with Abrahams up top. Sotiriou just looked completely out of his depth up front on his own at Bolton.

Anyone getting the stream tonight?

Coulson went home unwell yesterday

Seems rather clueless to me as well. Wonder if Wright will score and also if Crawley will target Sam Ling.
Sotiriou needs someone to play alongside him if he is to play the central striker role, either that or play him on the flank he is best suited to, the right and move Wilko into the central striker position.

Got a mate to check the odds earlier, only 3-1 on Wright scoring. Bookies have done their homework.

I know I should not, but if Wright does score tonight, then I shall feel pleased for him !

Yes , ( it was a bit late starting bit like the O's really ) .

Turley sitting on the bench whilst not match fit Thompson put straight into the team ?
I can only think that he has looked good in his few days of training with us ?

Evening chaps.
Quite mild here today, but mucho rain.
As always ..............
COYO's

Wright playing for them, JMD out unfortunately.
