Leyton Orient v Blackpool Official Matchnight Thread 27.02.24

[Chunkylad]

Think going to 4 at the back makes sense if Lyons can’t continue.

 

[Critchknows]

Always them kind injuries that are the worst. Knee ligament injury there

 

[ThereisonlyoneChrisMalkin]

Still no shot on target after 56 mins in a game we need to win

 

[Chishandfips]

Looking at the goal again Pennington had 2/3 chances to get closer to the ball.

 

[Insider]

Not looking good for Andy Lyons.

 

[Wilburrabbit]

Oh that look oks bad for Lyons. Season ended I think

 

[TangerineArmy]

Again no shots on target so far.

Why change a winning team.. unbelievable.

Fecking lyons gets dropped for no reason and now this

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Oh great. Kouassi coming on when he wouldn't make most League Two teams.

 

[Roy Kent]

Shame for the lad

Get fit Andy

 

[poolfc]

Fingers crossed for Andy he's OK but there was a leg twist there. Stretcher on and straight off.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Well not going to plan this is it

 

[Burnnazzer]

good call by whoever predicted that

Thank you

 

[BFCfan33]

Brainless.

Your boring me now. YAWN

 

[Roy Kent]

This is a tough game. If we can get a point I'll be well pleased.

At this stage - agreed

 

[doolan_legend]

Disastrous goal to concede that. So avoidable. Pennington not very good on the ball at all. None of the defenders are. Which makes it all the more baffling the amount of dicking around we do with the ball at the back, especially away from home when teams press us more.

 

[tommytwojags]

Ambulance job. Doesn't look like Andy Lyons will be back this season. Good luck to the lad.

 

[Ormergod]

So who is playing full back now if hubby isn’t one of the subs

 

[Memphisboy]

Oh great. Kouassi coming on when he wouldn't make most League Two teams.

Crying out loud Kouassi and Beesley up front, give me strength

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Lyons Joseph and Byrrs off
Morgan Kouassi and Virtue on

 

[JJpool]

Poor defending and where the fuck was Grimshaw going

Ran out far too far and if he stays back you have far more time and a better chance to save that.

Piss poor all round.

 

[tangerinesince88]

This is absolutely horrendous.

 

[Macseasider]

I had to take my daughter to the shop. Gone 10 mins. A goal down and a serious injury to Lyons. Grrrr

 

[Stanah]

Well not going to plan this is it

Did we have a plan?

 

[Critchknows]

Kouassi and Beesley would struggle to lead the line for most league 2 clubs

 

[Roy Kent]

CJ speed is no good if he constantly gets the ball facing his own goal

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Kouassi
Beesley
Virtue
Connolly

This is what we have become. Those players would barely make a league two team.

 

[TangerineBayern]

This season couldn’t get any worse for Andy Lyons, feel sorry for the lad

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Can people please stop claiming season over at the slightest moment of adversity, it’s ** pathetic, you who doo must be complete and utter soft cints of the highest order.

 

[Tangman74]

Feel for Lyon’s
As for the rest of the game - think the season is done - no shots on target so far - potentially could be 9 points off 6th place with 11 games left

 

[Roy Kent]

DO NOT CONCEDE ANOTHER NOW!!’

Do anything to stay at 1-0 for the next 5 mins

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Did we have a plan?

Yeah, win ffs

 

[Mark_GT]

Truthfully we've been awful so far. No rhythm, no risks taken, no shots on goal, lacking bottle. Half an hour to turn it round.

 

[hertfordseasider]

I hope he's going to be okay, that sounds like it's going to be a really serious injury, what a really shit night, away game, night game and our superstar manager, what could possibly go wrong, okay half an hour to show us what you're made of, come on Pool

 

[TangerineBayern]

Looking at the goal again Pennington had 2/3 chances to get closer to the ball.

The nearer he got the more he backed off and didn’t even think about closing the angle down

 

[TangerineEggCup]

Can people please stop claiming season over at the slightest moment of adversity, it’s ** pathetic, you who doo must be complete and utter soft cints of the highest order.

Piss off. This performance is unacceptable.

 

[Memphisboy]

Kouassi and Beesley would struggle to lead the line for most league 2 clubs

Possibly the worst front two in living memory

 

[TangerineArmy]

Can people please stop claiming season over at the slightest moment of adversity, it’s ** pathetic, you who doo must be complete and utter soft cints of the highest order.

Season is over with this clown changing the team constantly.... perfect 10 did we constantly change the team for no reason.. utter joke

Not sure what is worse.. this starting team selection after a 4-1 win or sadler saying he is enjoying this season.... its boring

 

[tangerine.com]

We have to win to keep up with stevenage

 

[Bend it like Suddick]

Feel for Lyon’s
As for the rest of the game - think the season is done - no shots on target so far - potentially could be 9 points off 6th place with 11 games left

Still time, but potentially getting wupped in the League by the mighty Orient and Stevenage..and people wonder why some posters criticise Critchley

 

[MeanLeanTangerineMachine]

Virtue is playing rwb - bizarre, especially with husband on the bench

 

[JJpool]

Have we done anything so far this half yet?

 

[hertfordseasider]

Must be 442 now

 

[Sooty59]

Shame for Lyon’s. If we can somehow get a point I’d definitely take it now.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

My god. We are an embarrassment.

 

[Macseasider]

Just getting worse.

 

[Hankey2009]

Lose this game and more than likely will require snookers….well 9 wins from the last 11

 

[FY4MIKEH]

How can we be so bad away and so good at home. Its still a ** rectangular piece of grass with 2 goals and some white lines, it's ridiculous.

 

[stbe]

Have we done anything so far this half yet?

Yes. We've looked like headless chickens

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

We’re going from bad to worse here just shocking.

 

[Stanah]

Typical connelly
Wtf!
