October 26th Fixtures

[TheShayWay]

Big bounce back that. Especially against a play off rival. Nervy at times as we lack a killer instinct at times. But we are solid at the back in the main.

A pont wouldn't be bad at Bromley now.

 

[spireite]

HUGE 3 points that with our injury problems, 9 home games unbeaten now. That boy Tshimanga !!

Onto another tough game at the weekend away at Dagenham. As I mentioned we need to get at least 2/3 of Gunning, Khan (I know he featured tonight briefly), Kellerman and Rowe back and fit for that one

Huge day all round. County, Wrexham, Grimsby all dropping points. Just a fucking shame about the injuries. We must have an Indian sign over us or some shit, it's just stupid

 

[rudebwoyben]

Joe Widdowson after he'd scored 3 goals this season as well, speedy recovery Joe.

He’s been very dependable for us, this will be a big loss for us.

 

[John Still]

Your bloody good on the ball I'll give you that but in terms of threatening the goal there was no real punch there.

Missing McCallum and Walker, still should have enough with Balanta and Wilson but it’s not an ideal partnership. We lack serious depth in Midfield, nothing decent beyond the current team.

 

[pontoonlew]

The only positive I can take from tonight is that our first ‘welcome back to Non League’ result has come at the end of October

 

[Shotsfan1993]

We're going down without a home win all season aren't we?

Tonight's performance was an absolute disgrace and Walker gave away another goal just to make things worse. 9 home defeats in a row, Grimsby will make it double figures next month

Those first two still missing Saturday?

 

[WhoWasFone]

Grimsby will make it double figures next month

If only you could manage that with the number of toilets!!

 

[The Terminator]

He’s been very dependable for us, this will be a big loss for us.

He never let us down for 4 seasons, still very well liked by everyone at Orient. Hope he can play again this season.

 

[Kris Harding]

Great win for the Moors tonight, going about our business quietly creeping up into the playoffs sandwiched between all the 'big' clubs, long may it continue.

 

[Magpie Mike]

Good evening for the tinpotters.
Excellent from Maidenheaf today. Wrexham weren't even Devonshired.
They were beaten fair and square by the better team on the night. Although not sure what happened with the sending off.

 

[spireite]

Gunning gone off to hospital tonight due to a broken nose and laceration to the face due to a high kick, don't even think a foul was called. The reffing in this league needs fucking sorting out

 

[Wooderson]

Disappointing to let Bromley’s game plan of hack Rodrigues into orbit any time he went near the ball and launch the ball into the box at every opportunity nick a point.

We’re a lovely team to watch sometimes but we need to win games like that.

Thought we were unlucky tonight to be fair. Bromley marginally better side first half and bullied us a little, but we matched them physically after the break and were by far the better side. As you say, they launch so many balls into the box eventually one of their three fucking giant CBs (Bush, in this case, the other two are Sowumni and Webster, must average 6’4 between them) was going to get his head on it, in this case back across goal for Cheek to scramble in. Disappointing we hadn’t killed the game off before then and didn’t get a late winner with Roberts rattling the bar and Mitchell fluffing his lines, but I’m not too unhappy tonight, and feel reasonably confident we’ve got a chance of getting something at Grimsby.

As for Stockport and Wrexham - dear me!

 

[SuperHans]

Gunning gone off tonight due to a broken nose and laceration to the face due to a high kick, don't even think a foul was called. The reffing in this league beefs fucking sorting out

2nd time he's broken his nose in a fortnight - this time its a nasty one so will likely miss Saturday if not the game after that. Kellerman hamstring issue but apparently wanted to come back on so can't have been that bad. We need him on Saturday.

 

[John Still]

Those first two still missing Saturday?

McCallum is suspended so he will be missing, Walker not sure done something to his groin so doubt he will be playing. You’ll win comfortably, we only beat the really poor sides bar a mauling of Solihull and when we caught Bromley cold in their first game of season. We give up far to many chances and get punished by the better sides, feels like to win games we need to score 3 or 4.

 

[springerbfc]

Superb result tonight, as I was expecting a big loss.

Two away wins on the bounce. Promotion form! Will that finally be curtains for Rusk?

We were a bit unfortunate with their equaliser, but we’ve already managed to drop 12 points from winning positions. It’s happening too often to be a coincidence.

I’m pretty settled that we’re going to be great to watch but finish fifth or so again because we just don’t have that ruthless streak to see games out, win when we’re not playing well and all of that sort of stuff you need.

No don't be daft, there's no easy games in the Vanarama

Btw I've seen a picture of the foul on your lad, it looks like a clean break, on the positive side those are easier to come back from than hairline or compound breaks

 

[GTFCfish]

Well done to Wealdstone sounds like they did a job on us tonight and thoroughly deserved the win.
Hopefully just an off day for us but we will see on Saturday.

 

[We Are Sailing]

Asante, Denton, Clarke, kellerman, weston, rowley, carline, hollis, gunning (rowe tonight) (Khan just coming back).

That's a minging injury list.

Happy for the very ugly win, but christ we're down to bare bones.

 

[SpireiteDan]

Far from our best tonight, looked a little leggy and of course we picked up the obligatory injuries but Eastleigh offered very little in truth so we'll take the points and move on. Tough game for us on Saturday!

And from reading the Notts comments....it's safe to assume that Bromley, Cheek et al. are still massive shithouses? Bet they gave it the entire squad pile on when they scored? Cvnts.

To be fair having Denton out is a blessing. Surely the way you play now he's nothing more than a sub.

They weren’t particularly bad in the playacting stakes or anything like that tbh, they just kicked our creative players to bits and are annoying on set pieces.

 

[TheShayWay]

Does anyone else apart from Cheek ever score for Bromley? Wondering if Wild might just stick 3 on him and that's them done isn't it?

He would be a sub. But what a sub to have.

This weekend is a good time to be playing us honestly. Despite our recent good run of form we are down to the absolute bare bones and on Saturday we could potentially have all of the following missing (6/7 of which you could argue would be in our best XI when fit):

Definites:
Hollis
Denton
Carline
Asante
Weston
Clarke

Doubts:
Gunning
Kellerman
Khan
Rowe (ill)

The loan market HAS to be under serious consideration now

How's Molesley been doing so far? Has he been setting up for 0-0 or is there attacking intent there?
Your home win will come against Southend, if Molesely is still in charge by then it'll be 3-0 at least.

Thanks for that insight, Shanks.

BRILLIANT! Move over Fergie, there's a new star in the firmament.
