He picked a similar sort of team that he's done throughout this competition. He used it to get squad players some game time. There was one game early on where there was about 4 players starting out of their normal position just because he wanted to get them minutes on the pitch.
Lovely stuff from us there to avoid what would have become a big distraction. Followed the instructions to the letter.
Textbook pen giveaway from Okonkwo and then barmy defending to gift another one.
I did like the Conference format and it worked with it only being the top side going up automatically. You have to give a proper advantage to teams finishing second and third, especially when you remember Notts County finished 35 points ahead of their playoff opponents when they won their...
We've got quality backups in all positions really but the big one today was that Cannon looks a serious injury. We will need Elliott Lee to get back fit soon though to cover Cannon as the other midfielders we've got available are holding midfielders. When someone like George Evans can't get on...
Parky looked fuming at the end and rightly so I think. Cannot be in control of a game like that and not thoroughly kill it off.
If only we could fix our home form...
My god we made ridiculous hard work of that.
Dreadful clogger side Mansfield and bang in the relegation battle now from what we've seen there. I can't see us being good enough to go up based on that also, we should have demolished them.
It looks it with that bombed out stand with hardly any roof left on it.
Just when we think we could be shot of Matty James we have to bring him on coz it looks like Cannon has a broken ankle.
As bad as we were you still expect us to recover in those type of games when it's like the Alamo at the end because we've seen it so often. Those 2 monsters Orient had at centre back were brilliant, just like Klarer of Birmingham was when we were bombarding them at the end of that game...
Would you even go? I haven't been to a single match in this tinpot cup this season or last so have no real desire to go to that hellhole again and watch us get slapped about by Birmingham.
As most of us knew, there was no surprise at that result with the form Orient have been in and losing last time at home. Dreadful from us in the second half but you still feel we could have rescued it at the end when we threw everyone forward.
Orient deserved it based on second half even though...
