Blackpool v Leyton Orient Official Matchday Thread 19.08.23

Leyton O’s played three lost three including a 4-0 home thrashing by Portsmouth. If we can’t beat them on Saturday something is seriously wrong 🤦
 
I see Wellens red card on Tuesday has now been rescinded and he will be on the touch line tomorrow.
 
Hoping to get back to winning ways. 3-1 Lavery, Beesley and Ekpiteta. Forecast looks a bit breezy but hopefully dry.
 
You'd expect to win this reasonably comfortably. Don't think we'll score more than 2. But that should be enough.

Key for me is to play Lyons at RB/RWB and use a LB as err, a LB. He does that and a tidy performance follows.

I do get the feeling it's quite a big game outside the 3 points.

Sorry Mates, sounds like you’re describing Ollie and he’s long gone!

Welcome to the future. Welcome to ‘possession based, I really don’t want to lose’ football!

Yep, the principle is, if we have the ball, they can’t score, which is ok, if we use the ball positively, rather than aimlessly passing it around the back.

He going to play for 43 0-0 draws which will give us 48 points and keep us up
 
I watched Orient 3 times last season and they wereexcellent

Archibald the winger is a superb player and I ammsueürised at their start — they will score but can let in a few



I hope they stay up as they do like to play footie on the front foot
 
Getting ready to set off to the sunshine coast and looking forward to this game, orient are a reasonable side. A win followed by a good performance the order of the day for me. Get selection right in CM and we should be ok. From what I've seen I'd go for Norburn, Morgan and Weir if fit and available.
 
In Tenerife so I will be spared another negative performance today. Might visit the Swan and discuss the negative tactics and lack of quality with the punters.

Ideally, the above won’t happen and we can all celebrate getting back to winning ways.

I hope, the boo boys can swallow their pride and give Wellens a welcome back to Bloomfield Road. He was ,after all a good player for us in his day. Any bitterness towards him should, in my book, now be forgotten.

Agree. We should focus on booing our own players rather than Wellens. Wellens was a great player for us and should be respected.

The midfield we want.

Now let's see us create with it, and get the width involved. Jensen to score first.
 
If anyone read the Port Vale forum after the game on Tuesday, CJ Hamilton was the player that stood out the most for them. In fact I don't think they mentioned many other players of ours. His speed is unusual for League One.
