What do you think they would read at the moment?

Pile on to Ekpiteta at every opportunity
Go down the centre of the pitch
Long balls undo the opposition
Nothing to worry about from set pieces
Stop Lavery, Stop Blackpool
 
Choke the midfield, pressure Ekpiteta and watch for diagonals over the top.

Until Casey, Robson and Weir find a way to impact the game and learn to find space were far too easy to nullify.

That being said *IF* the midfield find their mojo it will unlock the wingbacks and make us very difficult to defend against (like Burton first half)

The last 2 games the instruction was not to pressure Eki but to let him have the ball and to cut off options to Norburn and Morgan. This gave Eki space to go into and draw players away from their man to man marking but he lacked the confidence (or direction to do this). Instruction needs to be for our midfielders to draw opposition away from the centre mid and allow Eki to bring the ball out. Casey or Hubby to tuck in behind Eki to provide cover.

It was also interesting that Orient had Archibald (one of their better players) up against CJ and, when CJ changed wings, Archibald changed too. So opposition are certainly looking to stop CJ.
