Nibor Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Positives...McCombe looked good in his first start. Keogh had a decent enough game. Carey was good in fact the starting back four all did well until the confusion later on.Brown did quite well at times on the right and certainly got in at the back post well.Williams was enthusiastic though raw but had pace and energy for 90 minutes.To be honest there was enough performance there from most players and enough ability to spank Orient.

Admin Ian M Posted September 12, 2006 Admin Share Posted September 12, 2006 What positives can I draw from tonight?I backed the team with my hard-earned and was rewarded with a victory that saw Bet365 give me more of their easy-earned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 oh right so it wasn't all bad then..No it wasn't, I've already said that in reply to one of your other pointless one liners. What's hard to understand about someone completely disagreeing with the shockingly bad tactical decisions made by the manager but still thinking some players had a good game?

Nibor Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Nibor be honest with yourself as a team performance it was shocking.I am being honest, this is what I think.Individual performances for the most part were good enough.The team performance in the first half was good enough.The start of the second half we were under the cosh more than I'd like but I still couldn't see Orient scoring. We could have brought the ball down and played it out better, and put them under pressure from the half way line more, but it wasn't shocking.The penalty looked dubious at best to me, they didn't even appeal for it and I don't thnk it was down to a performance that we conceeded.It was the tactics (if that's what you call them) in the last 20 minutes that left a bad taste for me and had a massive negative impact on how we played. I don't blame the players for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashcott Boy Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I'm glad of the 3 points but we really should have pushed on from 2-0. I don't think we created enough chances in the second half and it was due to a couple great saves from Basso that we came away with all 3 points.GJ seems to have a very negative attitude and seems to persist in leaving Williams upfront on his own and going very defensive in the last 15 minutes.Noble going off injured was a blow and i hope he is fit for Saturday but i would be happy if we started with the same 11 that started today.

Guest andy234 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Come on guys, can anyone out there honestly say they enjoyed tonight's game, I don't think so, that was a bottom half of the table performance and were kidding ourselves if we think differently. But I will be back on Saturday and the next home game hoping that things will change but they never seem to. Sorry just feel a bit negative at the moment..

I thoroughly enjoyed the first half, at times the passing and movement were excellent. I didnt enjoy being under the proverbial in the second half.

Chivs Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I didn't go tonight but I understand we were very poor in the second half but just about deserved the win.I think we can all be VERY positive. We have two key players returning very soon.Plus, we are winning whilst playing very poorly. Surely we can only start to play better and we're currently only 1 point outside the playoffs.The future's bright.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we can only start to play better and we're currently only 1 point outside the playoffs.The future's bright.... you could say we played poorly in the 2nd half, however we did defend well in the 2nd half and held on for 3 points, although in the 2nd half they had alot of possesion, they didn't actually create much with it and due to some very good defending we didn't concede a goal from open play.

Guest bcfcred Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I thought that another positive was Mcalister, looks a very good signing, tackles, headers and brilliant at distribution, wouldn't mind seeing him on the left of midfield. I am still very annoyed at the booing, we got THREE POINTS! Yes second half was bloody poor but we won, it's them extra 3 points we needed. We over the years have played to many games superbly and lost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Redpepper Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I agree that the 2nd half wasn't pretty and yes at times I thought the worst would happen and Orient would score a 2nd goal.But we won and in the cold light of day we are 3 points further ahead than yesterday, our league position has also improved and most of the top teams managed to lose.I think we have to remember that last season we were playing badly and losing, this season we have some short term personnel problems but we are getting the points. We've actually won 3 out of 4 games and if we make that 4 out of 5 on Saturday (no matter how bad it is to watch) then we will have weathered a pretty bad storm exceptionally well. All is not doom and gloom and at least we're not crying out for an improvement to get the points, we're asking for an improvement to make our victories more attractive and secure.
