Similar performance to Vale so possibly boos at half time.

It might be woeful but it's nothing to do with inverted wing backs. There's no such thing.

These are absolutely tosh and we're causing them 0 problems, pathetic

I agree that inverted wing backs don't work and I think we'd be better as a 442 or 433

CJ Hamilton cannot defend. So why are we asking him to?

Well we started brightly but it's now back to Tuesday night hoofing it long. You just can't see us scoring. As someone else said there is zero guile in the final 3rd.

Who cares. Players playing out of position then to keep it simple.

Marv needs a rest, Pennington needs to replace him.

Ffs do we not have a midfielder who can move forward with the ball and pass to a bloody teammate? Safety first. Pass the buck. Chite Critchley!

There's about 6 players who have been absolutely shit in this game. And that isn't good enough.

This is embarrassing. Even Orient fans are taking the piss. Far worse than Vale and that takes some doing.

Started really well but we look like a side who don't understand the tactics.

Honestly, I cannot say how absolutely terrible that was by CJ. He needs taking off.

Orient singing is this a library. At what point does Critchley change things. If he doesn’t there will be Critchley out chants soon.

It is now but it wasn't in the first 10 minutes. If we lose today the spotlight will be on Critch, he hasn't. got a comfort blanket this time, if he doesn't get it going soon the crowd will turn on him.

Critchley thinks he's Guardiola and we are Manchester City. Surely the game is less complicated at this level ?

We are playing hoping they make a mistake rather than us creative.

He over complicates everything, no heart, just spread sheets and computer programs, give me Dobbie every time.
Marv is ** awful, get him off.

Playing a patched together foot of the table team who’ve conceded 2 goals per game so far, and we’re huffing and puffing against them at home

How to make home crowds nearly 10k to ** 6k. This has been horrendous after the first 10 minutes.

Stonewall penalty for them and a Husband sending off, very, very lucky.

We are playing Wimbledon 1980s long ball tactics and can't string two passes together.
We have the talent in midfield but it's not being used.
Must be Critch's game plan - genius.
Deffo a pen for them.

Let me guess, Leyton Orient are suddenly a 'top team' too. Funny how whoever we play that's been tonked by others suddenly is a good team and we can't break them down easily or show any quality whatsoever.
Its turgid stuff so far, no quality, no creativity, no guile, no swagger. We don't show that we're good on the ball particularly nor do we seem to show any cutting edge.
Need to do far better.

This is a performance that would get a manager sacked. Not saying we are at that stage but it won’t be long unless performances improve quickly.

3 centre backs at home.
Sorry, you will NEVER convince me that CJ Hamilton is a footballer. He just failed to make a THREE yard pass. That's enough Neil. Take him off. I've had enough now.

I'd honestly rather have someone like dobbie who is instinctive and just 'feels' football than a overpaid statistician who can produce reams of analysis on why we should set up in this way
But ultimately strangles his teams creativity
