Ryan Loft just notched a vital goal for Vale, 1 up at Burton. Hope he's not heating up for facing us...

Does that mean we're no longer tin pot if we've lost our actually tin pot?

Hopefully our central midfield will have a bit more steel than in the home game when we were down to the bare bones. We'll need Finley to keep their Celtic loanee Lawal in check as he ran the game at the Mem. Fleetwood always seem to give us problems and will be desperate for the points, hoping Chrissy Martin can get revenge for his sending off and send them on their way to the drop, 2-1 away win incoming UTFG.

Derby definitely targeting the left side so far, Gordon going to be in for a long afternoon if he doesn't get any help.

I was wavering between a 2-1 win or defeat today so going to plump for 2-2 (as also think it's been a while since we had one of them). Lineup-wise, not too keen on our right back options as it would mean either moving Gordon over or bringing in Hoole, who's too rusty IMO to start this one. Sounds like Derby have fullback issue too and will likely go 3 at the back, I can see Taylor deciding to match up with them, so: Ward Crama Taylor Baggott Thomas Finley Conteh Vale Evans Martin Brown I think we are better suited to 4 at the back. Having Sinclair in front of Gordon gives him an outlet, rather than having to go back, or just have Martin to aim at. Luca looked very good in the 5 minute cameo a few weeks ago when he put in two thumping tackles and looked to drive forward. Hopefully he did well in the reserve game in midweek. His pace and height at full back could be an asset. Yes, agree that we have looked better with a back 4, just not sure if Hoole would be up to it today. I hope he can as I think there's a really good player in there, one who I really thought would kick on after the promotion season into a player we may have trouble keeping hold of. His development took a nose dive under the last fella so hopefully MT can bring the best out of him.

I'd be happy for a repeat of the only time I went to Orient back in 1982. 5-1 win with goals from Holloway (2), David Williams (p), Paul Randall, Mick Channon came on for the last 15 mins and set up the 5th for Graham Withey. Can't see a repeat today but a sneaky 2-1 could be on the cards. UTG!

Let's just hope Collins wasn't on a "try before you buy" deal otherwise he'll back with us for Orient on Saturday lol

Friend is retiring immediately and becoming DoF then? I must admit I thought he was going to be Head of Recruitment, but that is where our Chief Scout is going. Interesting! Yeah, didn't see that one coming, the retiring immediately and getting the DOF job. Like you say, sure it had been mentioned that Friend would be heading up recruitment.

Be interesting to see what happens to these club TV channels next season when Sky take over EFL TV coverage. With I follow, clubs could opt out which meant the likes of Charlton and City could broadcast their games on their own channels but can't imagine this will be the case with Sky.

Both managers in the stands today? Didn't realize MT has been given a ban?

Good to see the players getting full support on here. Well done all 😮💨 Yes, would be nice for once if the melters on here could have taken on board MT's plea in the week to back EVERYONE who's wearing the shirt today. I'd love to see Gordon and Grant shut a few up but won't hold my breath sadly

TBH, that's a lot better team than I thought we'd be able to put out. I'm guessing it's the 4-2-3-1 we changed to in midweek, with Grant and Vale in the middle. Ward clearly not fit enough for the bench, not worth risking him for one game in my opinion. Quietly optimistic we can get a result today.

Well this explains Hussein's statement about getting to the Championship in three years, he doesn't want us to go until then so we can top the table!

I don't understand the line,"We will share our designs and plans once we have obtained all the necessary approvals.". Surely they have to release the designs/plans first so the consultation process can begin to get them approved?

I wouldn't be surprised if Taylor got the boot come April Me too. Thought it was telling that the recent coaching appointments were only til the end of the season, smacks of the owners not having too much confidence in him.

Grim isn't it? Don't know about anyone else but haven't enjoyed watching us since MT took over. Much preferred when we actually tried to play some football rather than this long ball crap. I prefer Taylor to the circus we had. We've played alright in some games and look awful in others. I just think we have a bang average squad. Oh as the man in charge, most definitely. Just referring to the football we play now.
