Had planned on going until circumstances demanded my attention for a couple of hours this afternoon. Thankfully I’d not bought in advance.

Phillips and Lumsden it is…

Quoted from Mr Banks on Saturday, 21 August 2025
That is a strong team of 18 players

Is it?

We’ve got some ok players for this level but I wouldn’t say this is a strong team. The forwards are tat.

2 goals in 4 games for Abrahams. Excellent.

Right - we virtually have been given a 1-0 lead from the start, lets kick on and put this one to bed early

I have maintained Abrahams will prove a good player for us, if he is tat then let’s have some more like him.
He works his socks off for the team.

Why are JP and Lummy creaming themselves over Abraham - he has scored a tap in and a penalty amongst a sea of missed easy chances, calm down

He has started well, ish, but scored via a penalty.

Can’t complain really but you should always convert your penalties.

Go on lads, say something positive about him

Wasn’t impressed with him against Colchester but he’s looked much better since.

We all know English players ALWAYS convert their penalties.

Wee bit of a jammy penalty. Again well on top, Orient are poor. The left back seems to be trying to get Sent off

Is that dewhurst who was here in goal at Solihull?

We seem to be getting the rub of the green at the moment, the sides we have played have looked good on paper and haven't performed which is great.

This is looking comfortable today - we can't afford to let Orient back in.

One thing that I feel needs addressing is - why are the Dragon's on Orient's crest more beefier looking than ours AND they have curlier tails.

Because ours are Wyverns and not Dragons!

Abrahams is our battering ram against two big CB's and he isn't getting much help. He's done well so far.

When we get a break there never seems to be enough bodies in the box to benefit.

Norman has had a quiet day so far. Our play also seems to be quite slow when on the ball too.

I'd change Alessandra for Clough at HT.

We need to get at this LB to get him sent off.

Pattern in the opening three games seems to have seen us play better in the first half than the second. Interesting to see if that continues.

Clough on - I hope that he gets a chance and is clinical.

Orient have been better side second half continuing the pattern Moonie.

Their goal seemed to take an age to go in.

I still say our forwards are tat, scored via a penalty and offered nothing.

Will we see it as 4 unbeaten or 1 win in 4. Still a point more than I thought we’d get today.

First the good:

2 goals conceded in 4 is excellent.

Still unbeaten.

And now the bad:

3 goals in 4 games isn’t good enough.

1 goal in 2 home games against two very average sides is not good enough.

Fading out of games in the second half is a major worry.

Beech still seems unable to make substitutions that change games for the better.

Brad Young had better be getting into that starting lineup soon or he’s a waste of a signing.

Awful, awful second half. 2 points dropped.

We don’t create enough chances in this set-up. Not sure if it’s the personnel or tactics.

I’m curious to see how we fit Clough into this side, not sure he works in a 433. Luxury player at this level.

Whenever Beech makes substitutions we seem to get worse?

We’re still lacking experience and more physical presence in the side. As soon as Smith came on (6’5 No.9) we bottled it. Heads went when they equalised and no stand out leader to get them going again.

Disappointing that, Orient were hardly great.

They need to spark or a mid table finish beckons.

Just shite, they had nothing until the tall lad came on.

As soon as we hit 65/70 minutes we go into a shell.
