March

Orient have only scored 2 goals in I think 7 games - tomorrow really is must win. I think we also need to see a performance too. Winning’s good, but for the sake of confidence I think we need a deserved victory, not a smash and grab or ground out victory.

Jobi McAnuff has been appointed as Leyton Orient's interim manager. Looks like he might be a player/manager as he's been in their team pretty much all season (39 years old).

Be interesting to see if they get any kind of "bounce" given they've gone for an internal appointment.

We've only won 6 games all season, and we probably need to double that tally to give ourselves a chance of staying up.

The thing is, we've only looked convincing in one of those wins — away at Cheltenham.

The win over Orient was with a last-minute penalty; the win over Crawley last Tuesday was fortuitous; the 1-0 wins over Barrow and Scunny before Christmas were pretty dire affairs and the other win (at Crawley) came after we went behind.

I know it's all about points, and to hell with style. But teams can't sustain a winning run by playing poorly. We need a win tomorrow, but a good performance will give the players a bit more of a boost.

Quoted from cmackenzie4

For a start tomorrow (Orient) is a must win game, I can’t see us getting points against FGR, Tranmere or Carlisle, maybe we can get points against Colchester and Barrow and the other games mentioned, it will be a defining month that’s for sure, after seeing us Saturday I fear the worst, i do hope I am wrong though.

I have no fear of us playing against FGR, I streamed their game against Southend and they were out played all over the park, to be honest they looked as bad as we did against Harrogate. I live in hope they have another bad day next Saturday.

Quoted from Nelly GTFC

I still think we can come good, my optimism is still that we are practically playing a team that haven't played together, we are still in a non-existant pre-season for these new players.

Bradford signed 9 new players in January.

They have won 9 and drawn 3 of their last 13 games.

I just don't buy the argument that our problems are due to having a bunch of new players.

Please will you do what nurse says, take your tablets and have a lie down.

I do, and an extra blood pressure when we lose. Then I rest with a glass of red wine and read the negatives on The Fishy and off we go again. Positives arry, positives we're stay up.

Pity Orient have a new manager, as they will probably try harder now, but for me, it's as much what other teams do as it is what we do. The other struggling sides have just as much of a task as we do picking up points, so as long as we don't get cut adrift, we always have that chance of getting a little run going.

Yeah, I know we are sh1te, but so are others and if we can just be slightly less sh1te than them, we still have a chance.

a minor ray of hope is that we are good deal better in mid week games than we are Saturday games
On Saturday's we've played 18 won only 2 and gained just 11 points
Contrast that with mid week games where we've played 11, won 4 of them and got 13 points

11 points for me. That’s being optimistic too.

That's what I like positive thinking
