Didn't create enough but it's only the first game of the season against a team tipped to be in and around the play offs. Feel like if the penalty wasn't given it had 0-0 written all over it from what I could understand listening.
Oh well. Pick ourselves up. Stay behind PH and the boys and we go again. UTM

At least Taylor is back and we can revert to our usual set up as he gradually gets more game time in his legs.

Disappointing result but it's our first game back in this league. That said the ref was very poor ( thought we left that standard in the NL). Their worldie goal cannot be saved but the peno was a poor decision. That said we had our opportunities and failed to take them.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

A bad second half by town.  Never really got hold of the ball.  First half were better. Orient close down very quickly and fast passing.  Could have been different if Efete had scored and the pen wasn't given.  Lots of decisions going against us.

Not enough strikers in the building whatever the quality. Key player having to play out of position in first game as a consequence not good. Surprised we didn’t keep Mani given lack of incoming in that department

First game of season, short turnaround. I think we need a proper striker through the door.
Won't be too downhearted about it.. Go again next week at home.

I see it as a game of chances taken and not taken. I didn't see the penalty and the James shot was a a once-a-season job but (cliche alert) goals change games. Two EFL2 competitive teams I'd say.

Quoted from acko338
Their goalie lost control of the ball and McAtee made what looked like a fair challenge.

Non high boot, no contact with their goalie, so why blow for a foul?

Poor reffing.


Per Twitter, this was a drop kick from their keeper and McAtee played the ball after the keeper had thrown it in the air?

If so, it’s a foul and a yellow card, regardless of whether McAtee has touched him.

I’m as much a Town fan as anyone on here but you can’t blame the ref if he’s following the rules.

Think it sort of highlights the issues we "knew", lack of creativity in midfield and no strikers..  Having said that I thought we could well go on a get something prior to the penalty.  Goals change games.  Nothing to fear.. except maybe the odd poor referee decision..
