The only positive I can think of is - as you say - we aren't away!!!! Orient have started pretty well, but this is sort of game we've got to be winning, period. I do wonder whether Barton will be sacked if we lose this one. I don't see any way he could be kept on surely. Not sure he would go after Saturday but we’re definitely getting to the point now where we really need to be seeing some positive signs - even if it is a narrow draw or defeat but much better performance. I think if we have two poor performances against orient and Walsall and then get turned over by BG’s Swindon at home, then that will be the game where his support from most fans and Wael would surely evaporate. Really hoping Saturday is the day everything clicks though and we go on a winning run. Under Wael, poorly performing Managers. DC (from early 2018). 24 games Tisdale. 19 games Benny G. 33 games. so after the great Reset, JB will be gone by Xmas if results don’t improve.

I’m annoyed at this. I have no medical expertise at all but said several times at the time he signed his hamstring will go again. At his age tearing it twice in a year it doesn’t fully repair again especially to be a professional footballer. Who in our medical dept thought it would be ok. Ridiculous. So now we’re left with next to f**k all up front.

Honestly it’s just bad news after bad news with this club.
Really getting sick of it if I’m honest.

We could always try playing to Thomas, Collins and Evans strengths If we don't have a target man play into their feet, they all are technically good players maybe we should try using that to our advantage rather than punting aimless balls which are meat and drink to the centre backs. Of course we can go long if we need to but play those passes into the channels, turn the centre backs and make them work, we have pace in wide areas with Saunders and Anderson, if we don't have the option of Clarke we have to play in a different way.

Well they say that in football you live and die by your recruitment.
Barton came in with his wrecking ball and obliterated what was already in place, taking full responsibility for transfers.
It’s not looking good. Clarke was clearly a high risk signing. He now admits it was basically because he couldn’t get anyone else. This in addition to Pitman, who was already crocked at the time he signed Clarke. We let Hanlan go when he was our player. We didn’t have to.
Nicholson’s injury is obviously unfortunate but we’ve signed a whole heap of 30somethings that are either already crocked, taking an age to get fit, and/or have lost their legs.
And now, to quote our esteemed former manager, we have ‘nothing in the effing box.’
We’re surely stuck with Barton until these court cases as it would be mental to pay him off a month or so before we could possibly cancel his contract. What a mess!

The lineup prediction was impossible...

I’ve got concerns about this one. Orient have had a fairly similar overhaul to us I believe. Kenny jacket is a safe and experienced coach. This could be a really chastising weekend. But if the home form(?) is real and we get something out of this maybe just maybe we’re on the move! Cmon!

The lineup prediction was impossible... Can't believe how average that lineup looks. Maybe average is being kind too.

Another of the reasons I don't go anymore. MT was the last half decent striker we had. That was almost 5 years ago ffs. Footballs about goals...
