Match Day Leyton Orient vs Yeovil Town

[The Terminator]

We've been good away from home this year, but as usual dire at home.

 

[E10rifle]

Yeovil are an abysmal bottom-six side. We'll lose in a dreadful, dreadful game where we'll have all the possession and Ollie Palmer will miss from 4 yards.

 

[The Terminator]

I Would imagine we will be unchanged from our last two games, Nigel Atangana and Jay Simpson both apparently fit to be included in the squad - Both probably on the bench.

We cannot keep a clean sheet for love nor money, only one so far this season and we always look shakey at the back - Although Tom Parkes has been a very solid and welcome addition so far.

Rumours flying around that after ten games, the club heirachy will look at where we are in the table and decide Andy Hessenthaler's future.

Our first home game back since Dean Cox was released, if this had been 2 weeks ago I feel alot of anger and venom would've been vented at Becchetti. But after two away games, four points and two overall good displays there is no danger of that happening tomorrow.

We will lose.

 

[E10rifle]

Parkes has been our best player so far this season IMHO. Pity we have absolutely zero defensive shape without Atangana.

Jay Simpson to come on to ironic cheers at 0-0 in the 65th minute. Yeovil to score their winner in the 66th before Simpson misses a penalty.

 

[E10rifle]

I think this might be the worst game I have ever seen in my entire life.

 

[The Terminator]

Another awful performance at home by us, the fans gave Becchetti a good and deserved earful afterwards.

The game was scrappy and Yeovil deserved the win as they showed more endeavour and stuck to the plan that they had. Once again we switched off at a corner. Jay Simpson came on and wasn't properly used at all, he had to drop deep and do all the work himself. We look devoid of any ideas at home and rarely looked like getting into the game second half.

Nicky Hunt is now out of action for the forseeable future with a serious knee injury - So now we have to shop around for a freebie right back - After Becchetti binned off Clohessy........

I believe that is 25 home defeats in the last two years for us now.

Its between Sean Derry and Andy Hessenthaler on who's going to be sacked first this season, if the rumour going aaround is true then Hessenthaler will be gone after Plymouth beat us in ten days.

I would suspect that the tradition is get beaten by Barnet in 2 Saturday 's then no choice for the sack. I think we' re responsible for about 10 managers in the last decade.

Will that new large all seater stand behind the goal be ready for our visit in 2 weeks? Plan on taking a large following to witness AH's last game...........

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

What is gained from sacking Hessenthaler? There is no way I'd contemplate sacking him! (No, I wasn't there today)

Was expected to be open today but Colchester fans with tickets for the new stand were moved to the West Stand.

I'd say there is a very good chance you will be first to use it as I doubt they will open it for Morecambe on a Tuesday night.

For what its worth, I wouldn't do anything right now as we are unbeaten away - (Until next week, when Notts C beat us) and have generally performed well away from home.

But we've now lost around 25 games in 50 at home since Francesco Becchetti came here in the summer of 2014, thats 50% - We've lost half of our league home games since he has been here This is a huge, HUGE problem and its never been addressed properly, we struggle week after week at home, to break teams down who sit deep and play on the counter attack and we always show a complete lack of energy at home.

I've had the same conversations with fellow supporters quite a few times now - If you've only watched us playing at home as a season ticket holder, for the last 2 years in particular, you must be wondering why you bother at all. People that sit around me at home games aren't like me for example and go to away games all the time, if any at all due to other commitments. Our level of application and desire at home is fucking crap, Newport were the worst team I've seen this season - They beat us mainly because they showed more desire and commitment, whilst Yeovil and Mansfield did exactly the same thing, all three defeats we weren't outplayed by better sides, we were out fought by opponents who had a desire to go and win the game and stick to the plan they had.

Hessenthaler has had 4 league home games and a summer to address this, infact the club as a whole have. Yet we keep seeing the same shity low levels of desire on the pitch at home, todays performance was similar to so many from the last 2 years, if I could be bothered to list them all up I would.

Now our only right back is out injured, probably for the season and we've just released his cover, I wonder who's choice that was?!

Clubs a fucking joke and run by group of fucking c***, no wonder we've lost 50% of our home matches these last 2 years.

 

[E10rifle]

Yeovil were absolutely wretched. No better than Newport, a slight improvement on Stevenage and a mite worse than Mansfield who were merely appalling. The latter might scrape top half due to the general direness of the division, but that's three points from four games against sides who will do well to finish outside of the bottom six. We have no divine right to beat these teams, but we play like we do. Utterly gutless and directionless.

The only solace I take from today is that the first steps of the tide turning against Becchetti have begun. Hopefully the egomaniacal, megalomaniacal, incompetent c*** will be forced out when he stays getting enough shit.

No way will he sack Yessenfailure though. Needs his little lapgnome to help him pick the team.

 

[AmbiguousBon]

We needed that, Orient didn't start playing until we scored, at which point we were lined up in a 9-0-1 formation.

Can see why their fans are so livid, we are a limited side (bordering on wretched at times) but i don't think they had a shot on target until the 60th odd minute.

omg 25 home defeats in just two years..................
