If he does play any part today then he needs to prove he's "Ready", as he's done little for us in the league so far. Probably the only bright spark in the opening game against Mansfield, difficult to do much in the Stevenage game where we insisted on giving the ball away at every opportunity and smash long balls all game and thought he had a good half against Oldham before the manager decided to take him off.

Not overly confident today but as always turn up hoping to be wrong!
I know Orient have been praised for playing good football on the ground, but I am worried about the threat from corners from the likes of Harry Smith.
I'd like to see us show a bit more composure and confidence to get the ball down and get our smaller more technical players on the ball more. Fingers crossed for a couple of goals today, will go for Anderson and Evans.

We will only get a result today if JB accepts he is partly to blame for the indifferent performances and starts playing with more than one player up top. We need to stop our opponents building from the back and get some partnerships going. We have a good squad of players but we now need to see their class and give an attacking display with some ruthless defending. Cut out playing players out of position when it is not necessary. Just change the formation to match the players instead of trying to play a formation that is not working.

Just completed my weekly trip to the machine and have gone all in.
£2 on 4-0 with a Pitman hat-trick
I’m actually taking my boy to watch Shaftesbury v Bath in the FA cup today, as a girl I work with, her husband is the Shaftesbury Goalkeeper coach. Should be a good day out, can’t beat a bit of cup action!!

Tough game today but if you beat them you are only 2 points behind them so its all to play for. You boys/girls have really been through the mill and deserve a change of fortune hopefully today is the start of a surge towards promotion.

Big win today. I can feel it in my bones, can feel it in the air. Seems to be gasheads everywhere on my journey in this afternoon.

I was feeling a bit pessimistic about this one (a requisite predisposition for a Gashead) but having just watched Josh Grant’s prematch interview I am somewhat reassured that the squad are not as highly strung as the fan base. He looked calm, confident and reiterated the same sentiments as Sam Finley; namely that the team just need to believe in their ability, reproduce what they are doing on the training pitch and stop giving the opposition too much respect. I think that we will definitely see Luke Thomas in the starting lineup at 3pm and his threat will make space for other players to exploit. I predict we will go for a fast start, will be 2-0 up by half time then hang on until the final whistle with a dogged and confidence boosting defensive display that will give a lift to the whole club. I’m off to see my therapist in a few hours! UTG Grant gives me anything but confidence. When will we learn not to get mugged into these soundbites.

Can anyone help with the formation? Could be anything, only certainty is Belly and Pitman, others to make it up as they go along maybe? 😉
