Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

We've signed a winger from Reading, Tarique Fosu, According to Coley he's "Very Direct, Quick and a few tricks up his sleeve!

Coley is also hopeful Josh Windass and Terry Gornell will be available for selection!

Massive game!!

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

should be one hell of a game i think.

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Also just signed Andy Little, Striker, Former Rangers player!

Not sure we need a striker with Billy, Shay, Rommy and now Gornell and Windass back in the frame...

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

I woulda thought a midfielder? but fair dos, this guys got class. Think the point is our league position plus Andy Holt is the only way we got these 2 lads i,m pretty sure of that.

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Promising news with the loan signings.
Mr.Kee's been brilliant but Stanley can't rely on a single player up front, particularly one who gets kicked and clobbered every game. And Windass and Gornell can't be expected to return and make an immediate impact.
Hope the new winger has a left foot.:)

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

According to Wikipedia, he's a midfielder!

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

any news on matt crookes injury or have I missed it.

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Not ready defo.

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Love the way the fishy says Tarique is taking the squad number 30 and in the photo is wearing the number 27 shorts!! However, welcome to both Tarique and Andy Little. Astute signings IMHO. Could it be the messiah is going 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 for the last 9 games to get that promotion, instead of the 4-2-3-1 the team has been playing of late and been sussed out by the opposition. Good news that Josh and Terry could be back this weekend. Looking forward to the game tomorrow, here's hoping for a bumper crowd and another win closer to League 1.

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

No doubt tomorrow's game will be another nervy, gut churning affair -.forgot Orient now have Nicky Hunt in their midst but I don't think he did us much harm when he played for Mansfield against us.
Cant wait - even if I hide behind my hands for half of the game as I did against Wycombe, bring 'em on! :)

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

According to Reading fans on Twitter, Fusu should be in and around their first team so hopefully that's a good sign!

Think it will do Sean good to have a game or 2 on the bench to spur him on!

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Give over, Baldy, you'll get me over-excited, or do you really have some inside info?:D

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

believe it when you see it. could see both new lads starting on the bench.

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

If thats the case, they will get 4 or 5 mins max.:rolleyes:

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Have to say though i like the thinking behind these additions as J.C. comments on fishy.:)

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Well my first home game in a year or so, looking forward to it.

Nice to see a couple of load additions to give us something different.

COME ON THE REDS!

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Yeh wont regret it smudge imho.;) i'm bringing a couple of WBA fans,lol

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

no excuses today for a good turnout. decent day, no other local games and decent opponents and a couple of new signings. roll on 3pm.

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

These two look like astute signings.
Let's hope for a good gate today and a great atmosphere to spur our boys on to another WIN:theband:

Please also have a look at my recent thread this morning........
.......
Chance to WIN a SEASON TICKET FOR NEXT SEASON 2016/17 !!!!!!!!!!

ON STANLEY ON:wave8:

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

I see Tarique was a regular player for fleetwood through Nov & Dec, looks a very good young player

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Plymouth, Portsmouth, Bristol Rovers all winning !...? Need a win ourselves .

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

1-0 brilliant. 3 more points

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Yep so why on bench when jimmys nephew had a complete stinker?:confused:

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Don't know which match you were watching Cashy (and I am no McConville lover) but I thought he had a half decent game today. OK should have scored 2 goals but his movement and passing were generally good. IMHO if anyone would have gone off, I would have taken Mingoia off, he had a quiet game by his standards. However, the boss did not see fit to make any changes and for once I agree with him. At times it was backs to the wall, but in the end we got what we deserved, 3 points, pity Cambridge and Morecambe could not help us out!. Smashing game, decent crowd (555 from East London apparently), is the word getting out around Accy that exciting times could be ahead for the end of season run in?

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Gritty battling performance and I thought we managed the game brilliantly .
It was obvious from the start the bobbly pitch would dictate how both teams would play, and it was a cat and mouse game with both teams looking to counter attack.
We eventually got on the front foot ,created all the chances and defended as a unit.
They have prem league experienced players and up and coming players(on loan),add the leagues top scorer and this shows how good we played.
Top of the tree for me was Kee and Pearson,absolute monsters,but you could pick anyone

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

I agree with your observations Football 19. I too thought that it was a hard fought win against a well marshalled team. Yes, Kee and Pearson were both superb! Billy wins balls that you simply think he should not get to! His ability to get in front of his bigger opponents is awesome. Not only that but he chests the ball down and often goes past his defender or lays off superbly to Shay, Pierro or Sean!.... Awesome! Coley did so well to sign him on this season!:alright:
Matt Pearson was in the thick of everything down our left side. He defended superbly against tricky opponents but also knew when to put the ball over the main stand roof!:lol:
For me Pierro was brilliant again! Always threatening their defence and working so hard defensively, chasing back and hustling opponents into making mistakes and winning throw ins. About 10 minutes from time Pierro chased down an opponent, won the ball and attacked, winning a corner and he just doubled over with absolut fatigue! Then he was up and running as soon as play got underway again. His spirit epitomised the spirit of the whole eleven today.:jimbo::jimbo::jimbo:
Brad Halliday was another who ran himself into the ground. Late on, he got fouled by their full back high up the pitch, and as the full back rampaged forward I was urging someone from our midfield or defence to cover for Brad and to get a 'tackle in'..... but who got that important tackle in.?....Brad Halliday! Who had chased back, and not only did he get the tackle in, but he won the ball cleanly and then started another attack via Pierro!...... Awesome team spirit!:notworthy
Ross had a solid game in goal but I hope that the knock he took late on is nothing serious. Hughes and Davies at the centre of our defence were rock solid and their forwards hardly got a sniff on our goal! The midfield players too worked so hard in order to compete for the ball against a well drilled unit including the quality of Kevin Nolan. The midfield might not be as slick as when Windass and Crooks were in fine form but there certainly is no lack of industry there. Seamus for me had another super game! He is so cool. He never panics even when in tight corners, and is so astute with his passes! Brown worked so hard and now looks fully match fit and he took his goal superbly, drilling the ball low and hard to score a well deserved goal!:thumbsup::ban:
Shay and Sean also ran their socks off and although Sean made a couple of wrong decisions when getting into scoring positions I have to say that he fully played his part in the win today. With a bit of luck he could have a had a hat trick!:theband:
In conclusion then, it was an impressive victory and was so important as some of the other teams around us a had good results too.
There was a super atmosphere on the Clayton End and it was great to see more turning out to see the REDVOLUTION IN ACTION:s_gupjump:s_gupjump
ON STANLEY ON:wave8::signbeer:
KEEP THE BIG PUSH GOING:mosher::jimbo::jimbo::jimbo:

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Great entertainment great game an a great win for the Stanley, value for money if I have ever seen it, well done to mr Coleman an mr bell tactics spot on today against an in form team , cashman I have to disagree with you about mr mcconville he was excellent today although he missed a couple of chances he had a smashing game, also in billy kee we have the best striker in league 2 he was immense today, roll on Newport an hopefully another 3 points.

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Just watched the video Baldy, which showed lots of Stanley chances but none from The Orient!
Billy's chest down lay off for Scott Brown's goal was sublime!:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy

Oooh ahhh Cantona.......by 'eck Paul Beck!!!:theband:

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

McConville SHOULD have scored two, he played two AWFUL passes, but the rest of his game is spot on. He tucks in, tracks back, plays the tippy tappy stuff - all the things that he (and Piero) are asked to do. THAT is why he is picked every week. If he can do the frilly stuff on top then he gets a pay rise or a move. Piero WILL move on to bigger and better because he does his job plus extra. Sean does his job better than the alternatives but unfortunately hasn't got the frilly stuff on enough abundance to deter his detractors.

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Really? Were we watching the same game - yes, Sean made a couple of mistakes but on the whole had a decent game - trouble is some see 'Jimmy's nephew' & look no further, preferring to pounce on his said mistakes than give him any credit

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

What a great result on such a lovely day. The atmosphere was boosted by the big crowd. There were some folk there today i hadn't seen on the Crown Ground in years. Onwards and upwards for the boys in red!:cheers:

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Ok lets have some honesty or are yeh incapable, how many times do yeh see that super player pull out of the tackle, not just today every match? thats as well as the mistakes yeh saw.:rolleyes: I may be outspoken but ive never been blind.:rolleyes:

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

I, for one, was being honest. Yes he can infuriate folk and yes I sometimes wish he would be subbed or even left on the bench (as I thought he might be today) however, today he played well and deserves some of the accolades. I do agree, he does tend to shy away from the tackles and yes that can infuriate, but today I saw some excellent crosses into the area and lets face it, the strikers are not going to get on every ball, he took some excellent corners today and ran passed defenders to get the cross in, he also shot straight at the keeper (twice) when it would have been easier to lob the keeper, but for once, I am NOT complaining

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

People says ran should have scored,I was right behind in and he opened his body and tucked it in the corner only for Alex to save it with trailing leg.
If it's easy to score can someone tell me why Messi has miss so many from 12 yards this season !!!
Thought he played his part today and he set the goal up with a great pass with the outside of his foot,real quality,which we needed to open them up

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Sorry about the spelling,predictive txt kills me ������

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

saw it the same myself. should have put the game to bed but had to rely on our solid defence to see us through. the only thing in his favour is that its about 11 players on the pitch not one. could be coley, jimmy and the players like it better with sean playing and he completes the jig saw well.

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

If you watch the highlights of the game, Sean is involved in every attack shown, Coincidence?

Hopefully signing Fosu will keep Sean and Piero on their toes!

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

watched the full 95 mins, and will stick with my post above. football is all about opinions. there,ll be regulars who don,t rate other players we have for other reasons which I can,t see.

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

I never called Sean a super player Cashy, football is all about opinions everyone's entitled to theirs - my point was others make mistakes, of course they do - they're human not robots but no-one else seems to get singled out for criticism like he does.
No need to call anyone incapable of being honest just because their opinion is different

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

know its all about opinions, my point being the times he pulls out of a tackle every game, sometimes leaving us in what could be a bad situation,that may be good enough for some, but it aint for me. none of his acolytes ever mentions his doing this, look back over many posts, i have said when he has done well. so the fact some dont to me is a lack of honesty, which ever way it cuts.

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Orient's press team sat begin us had similar praise for our lads, (once they'd gotten over the cosiness of the space they were allocated :)) - was good to hear such comments from them, a welcome change from some who have occupied the press benches

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

We were very organised all game RR.
To be fair,Scott sits in so we have a true holding two,were crooks loves to join in all over the pitch.
One makes us solid,one makes us exciting.
For me,as playing surfaces deteriorate,I would be looking to be solid in our run in,but you have to play him as he's top draw.

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Definately in my eyes,this season is the first un, we have a chance of automatic place solid is the main priority on this run in, our defence has been top drawer as of late, the midfield are very solid, which is why i'm banging on about a player who dont know the meaning of solid, we need players with heart in my view for this run in.

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

plus plenty of hoofball and in your face defenders. be a different proposition from orient. need good shinpads .

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Yeah, sand! I'll take me bucket & spade for the post match celebrations :D

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Not to mention the forecast rain and gale force winds:eek:

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Or that there's a rugby match scheduled to be played there tomorrow - should make the pitch even more interesting?

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Will be tricky playing the 'beautiful game' wearing wellies.

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

That'd give a whole new meaning to the phrase 'give it some welly'! Sorry . . . . . I'll get me coat ;)

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Well for one reason or another only my 3rd game this season, really enjoyable day out.

I actually enjoyed the 10 minutes queue to get a ticket for Clayton End........ Has the town FINALLY woken up?/ Or was it a combination of a nice day and no game at Turf Moor or Ewood? Not sure, but I haven't seen the ground so busy in a LONG time.

As for the game itself, as others have said, it was pretty much a non-event, apart from or goal and Mr messiah Mcconville missing more sitters. In the end it didn't matter, but I really am staggered at how poor he is compared to the rest of the team. Quite clearly MILES off the pace for me.

As for the rest I thought Mingoia, Kee and Halliday where absolutely magnificent. What a trio they are, if we go up it would be superb to keep hold of them next season.

Also must mention Etheridge in goal.... he has had to wait a LONG time for a chance but really does the look the part to me.

Will be at the Cambridge game next Saturday.

On Stanley On.

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

A belated YAHOOOOOOO. Had to catch a plane to Christchurch (daughters wedding) real early Sat.morn and when I left the score was 1-0. Had to wait till plane landed before I got final score.Been computer free for a couple of days, and wouldn't have cared in the slightest if wedding had turned to custard because Stanley winning was what this weekend is all about.

Re: Leyton Orient Match Thread
 

Glad to see you have your priorities sorted, KJ, and congratulations to your daughter. I'm sure she will love the Stanley shirt you got her as a wedding present.;)
