Clown College (Waltham Forest Branch) v Carlisle United

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Apparently Cisak has jumped on the BBB list. N'Nomo's loan to Paris fell through, so every chance he's on the BBB list. Presume Janse is on the BBB list. McCallum may or may not be injured...

Liburd - McCallum
Green - Collins - Atangana - Massey
Kennedy - Parkes - Mezague - Hunt
Sargeant​

If McCallum is out

Liburd
Green - Collins - Massey
Atangana - Moore
Kennedy - Parkes - Mezague - Hunt
Sargeant

I don't know if yous have seen Dalby more than me (probably have) but to me he appears to be quite someway off of being first team ready,

 

[shoddycollins]

I'm sure it'll be good for our owners to visit Leyton Orient and see what a (comparitively) well-run club looks like. They might even return with some new ideas.

Orient are on a dreadful run, but we're on a pretty poor run ourselves. Even though form and league position still say we will win, I think we will lose... just one of them games. Of course it could happen that Orient pick up a red card during the day, in which case it will end 1-1.

You what?

 

[shoddycollins]

You what?

I'm implying they will look at what Becchetti has done there and decide there are some ideas they can apply here.

 

[cufc17]

That Orient team looks dreadful, and what's happening at the club is sad to see, but you just know we're going to bottle this very winnable game.

God knows how we'll line up, read last weekend that Jones may be fit to return so that'd be a boost, but which combination of strikers Curle chooses is anybody's guess.

I'd go:
Gillespie
Miller Liddle Raynes Gillesphey
O'Sullivan Jones Joyce Adams
Proctor Miller

Adams will continue his poor form as he's left isolated against two or three defenders as Gillesphey is scared to enter the final third.

Must win this game, but it'll probably finish 1-1 again, and people will say it's a good point.

Nobody will say it's a good point.

 

[hellogregory]

I'm going. Still pissed off about Colchester away so no idea why I'm going but I bought my train tickets in December so might as well.

We simply have to win. When you look at our upcoming fixtures we need a confidence boost otherwise we could be looking at 2 whole months without a win. Such an important game for us.

I doubt Jones will be ready to start which leaves our midfield looking weak as piss considering liddle will be needed at CB.

I was thinking a draw, but this is the kind of fixture we'll lose.

 

[cufc17]

Nobody will say it's a good point.

There will be, same people who were content with the draw against Accrington.

 

[hellogregory]

No it wouldn't be a good point. It simply has to be 3 points, nothing less.

We're so shite defensively that I kind of hope we just go all out gung-ho attack like we did at the beginning of last season. Bring back the 3-3-4 formation and go for the 5-4 win.

 

[shoddycollins]

At least Ollie Palmer won't be around to have his usual blinder against us.

That said, I'm pretty sure Hoban had a good game at BP this season.

 

[The Terminator]

Unless Danny Webb is as good a manager as his dad was, we will get tonked. We have nothing up front and crumble badly when we concede first.

Our player of the season Alex Cisak has now been frozen out by the owner, probably because he is approaching a trigger clause in his contract to enable another year. I doubt he'd stay with us in the Conference anyway.

We've lost 4 in a row and if I'm honest I can see a complete second half of the season collapse happen now. I can't see us winning again this season.

I don't care anymore as long as Becchetti is gone by the end of the season, he is deliberately trying to get us relegated which as you can imagine isn't going down too well.

You won't be conceding first and nobody is getting tonked. I think a draw is the most likely result, but I can smell a good Orient win, like 3-1 or something, in the air.

I'm not even going, but I'm not relishing the prospect of listening to this game on the radio.

 

[BeesKnees]

If Orient start with 10 men then they are guaranteed at least a draw.

 

[Alan Partridge]

If Orient start with 10 men then they are guaranteed at least a draw.

Afraid not, that's only the foregone conclusion against the small-time clubs. Orient, although maybe still small-time in London, will be a much tougher prospect with ten men.

It looks like Mike Jones is back in training which will be like having a new player if he's available. I'm sure Keith said he was only able to do running in straight line for the time being at the back end of last week, though?! Unless he's back up to his old attempts at mind games...

 

[Carver]

Remember the days when Orient would routinely beat us 4-0 or 4-1 both home and away.

I'm sure HG would be proud!

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

What a strike from Cox.

 

[Carver]

What a strike from Cox.

It was nice back then when we were getting thrashed every week, there was no expectations which meant no pressure and no getting stressed. We were trying to see how far we could fall before someone finally ended up losing against us.

 

[shoddycollins]

Games against Orient always seem to include thrashings for a while, including one time that we thrashed them. I do remember the 5-1 though, first day of the season, I took my brother along. It was awful. Beginning of the end for Abbot.

I'm sure for two seasons in a row 12/13 and 13/14 they dicked us at home and away, so that was like 4 games against them in 2 years where they completely raped us.

Don't worry Orient fans I'm not trying any reverse psychology here for our match tomorrow.

Ahh Ian Stevens, now he was a proper striker doing what a striker does, SCORE LOTS OF GOALS, not the fancy sissy strikers you get now who try to play in midfield and just do fuck all except bottle chances.

I still have the newspaper cutting from that game as it was on my wall in my student room.

Although results since Orient rejoined us in League Two have been average, the five games previous to that in League One went

4-0 Orient
5-1 Orient
4-1 Orient
4-1 Orient
4-1 Carlisle

as Carver says, in our last two seasons as a League One team, Orient dicked on us four times.

 

[The Terminator]

Th reality is that unless Danny Webb is a miracle worker, we will get nothing from this. We are EXTREMELY toothless going forward and we will have a young goalkeeper in goal tomorrow who has only ever played twice. Our squad is very limited in alot of places as well - We're not as bad as Dagenham and York last season, but we are certainly very limited.

Apart from Gavin Massey, I can't see where our threats will come from, Rowan Liburd and Josh Green are both awful signings who will offer the team very, very little.

Our performance last week once we fell behind was as bad as anything this season, the players threw the towel in and by the looks of things they knew that Edwards was going to walk out on them. Morale at the club has been very low for a while.

Plus Keith Curle is on the Channel 5 sofa, so surely we'll lose?!

We did get beat 2-0 off Newport remember, and that was after a period where we were playing really well and still unbeaten. We just tend to bottle these kinds of game, and I can just see there being some kind of new manager bounce lifting these young and inexperienced players to put it a once-a-season performance.

 

[Carver]

It's strange going to Orient as favourites and them being shitty underdogs, we're used to Orient being a quality side with plenty of threats in their team!

Damn they must really be the shitter.

 

[shoddycollins]

Well the most predictable event in League Two this matchday has just happened.

 

[Carver]

I have just got back from shopping, can someone tell me what the score is please?

 

[Vanni]

It's 1-1 Carl.

 

[shoddycollins]

fuck. A fourth red card in consecutive games but this one is against us.

 

[cufc17]

Thank goodness for that, always nervy going down to 10 men but sounds like Orient barely threatened. Huge three points though, hopefully the start of a more positive run with some tough games coming up.
