Leyton Orient Match Thread

Quoted from RonMariner

So, we had the worst team in the country.

The manger left.

A new manager came in and signed 12 new players.

And now we have the worst team in the country.

How the intercourse do we manage it?

Unbelievable!

That there’s more than one voice seemingly seriously suggesting we roll Buckley out again tells you just how bad/desperate we really have become!

Just one goal against either the titans of Harrogate or the behemoths of Leytonstone and we'd be so much better off. Just one. Hopeless..

I was pleased when Holloway was appointed. More pleased when he left.

I was pleased when Hurst was appointed.

But that just shows what a clueless twit I am. Hurst is a disaster. his record is worse that Holloway's. We weren't even in the bottom 3 when he arrived.

Apart from the results, the performances stink and some of the players he has signed are absolute crap.

Bringing Hurst back has just not worked.

We are down now, and it's too late to change that. But Hurst needs to be fired so that a new manger can build a team to bring us back from the NL.

Did anyone else read Hursts pre-match again?

"Once we see their team we will have a decent idea of how they will set-up."

I thought the idea, especially when playing at home is to play however the fook we want, and let the visiting team change their way of playing. Waiting to see how the other team line up first is just about as negative as it can be.

Grow some bollards Hurst and think about our team first. Fook the other team. Don't pander to them

Southend and Barrow lose, prolonging the agony.

Never in all my years watching football have I known a team be so poor for such a long period of time. Almost two decades of dross, year after year, manager after manager.

Surely someone can put together a team that can defend and score a goal now and again. It's pitiful.

All down to Hurst, negative negative negative till its too late, Your wingers wont do anything if they only ever receive the ball in their own half I got red crosses for this soon after Hurst came about his wingers first job is to defend, midfielders to defend and only allowed in the opposing half when we have safe possesion. F him off now, if he can't see these 1 up front or 7 at the back formations wont work. Once these teams have that lead they can just wait and break. Thought Matete played well once he was in a 2 Menayese best of the defenders improved with 2 up but again too late. Nothing wrong with Payne he got no hope just running round with the whole opposing half and 3 defenders to cover.

I was excited when Hurst was appointed because I thought cut the bull, play his reliable old 4-42 and get us playing pragmatic football with some solid points returns. Instead he’s decided to forget what worked well last time he was here and is faffing about with single-striker 4-2-3-1s.

The only time we looked half-dangerous today was the last 15 mins when we actually went 4-4-2 with Hanson and Shop up front.

Hurst once again more bothered about the opposition, he did it every game first time round and is still at it. Afraid he just cannot change.

Sack hurst now  tonight  give him his 2 1/2 yrs wages it will be cheaper than going down.. put sarge moore in charge go 442 and foookit  go down fighting if we have to. nothing to lose now cos as we are we are down and out
