Match Day National League Fixtures: 02.09.17

[Semi-skimmed Silk]

Never going to happen mate. More likely going up and not going down. Teams like Scunthorpe, Oldham and Walsall are just too canny to drop down to this level. We leave it to the likes of Wrexham, Tranny and Orient to sully our good name

Your trolling is more boring than watching an England qualifying match with Michael Owen as the sole commentator.

We're playing an unchanged side for the first time this season, really need some sort of home form to get inspire the town to come watch. Whitaker likes to play Woking so him scoring might be worth a bet.

Completely agree mate hes like that man you avoid in the pub cos he gets drunk and bores you with the same tale .

530 kick offs are just strange

 

[Semi-skimmed Silk]

Jinxed it, he's just managed to not score from 2 yards out. Still don't convert our chances and Jalal mistake has contributed to it being 2-1 to Woking.

 

[Leewilson]

Missed about our tenth penalty this year. Not an exaggeration either.

 

[GuiseleySteve]

Two very harsh penalties Orient fans? We were very fortunate to be ahead from the commentary but what is this ref doing?

 

[MattTheDagger]

Both Corey Whitely and Micheal Cheek absent today .

Our goal coming from 18 yr striker old Joe White on his first start for the daggers , funnily enough I'd say he's also been our worse player . He's lacking postional ability as well presence and is wasted against a team looking to Harrass us physically.

I cannot believe Morgan ferrier just tried to chip the keeper from a penalty, you cannot waste chances against a defence like theirs .

Perhaps he's a Braintree fan...

I'm not there, but the Orient Twitterarti seem to think the first was probably a pen and the second was a David Mooney Special (i.e. a typically disgusting dive).

 

[Semi-skimmed Silk]

Can we play all our games away this year please.

 

[Ollie.TUFC]

We've done another bottle job, good stuff.

 

[dedwardp]

Can we have Macauley Bonne back please, Orient?

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Can we have Macauley Bonne back please, Orient?

Yeah mate, chuck us £500k and he's all yours

 

[E10rifle]

Can we have Macauley Bonne back please, Orient?

Nope. You can have Mooney back if you like, though.

 

[MattTheDagger]

3-1 win and top of the league . Can't help feel Gateshead came away feeling a bit unlucky . A very good team that after a change in tactics really controlled the game .

 

[Lance Stoe]

Shit day for my boys. Sutton will never get into the Football League playing like that

 

[Master D]

Wow, an actual regulation win where we did what we were meant to.

 

[East Bank Shot]

Wins a win, good to get 3 points considering the circumstances - 4 debutants all under the age of 20, and only 4 subs named.

 

[B2TF]

Ha ha! Oh dear, what a waste of money! Meanwhile the worst team everyone we've played has played all season keeps on rolling up the table. Wish we'd been this shit last time we were in this league.

 

[Blue Lion]

Dominated the game, missed 3 or 4 sitters and conceded 2 goals from individual errors. Played pretty well, just couldn't win what ended up being one of the strangest games i've seen this season.

 

[The Terminator]

A deserved win and 4-1 was about right. Guiseley were awful at the back, their left back Marcus Williams had a stinker, his tackle which condeded the second penalty was nothing short of stupid as it was on the edge of his own penalty area and Mooney was going nowhere.

We should've been at least two goals up before Guiseley scored a well worked opening goal, the Guiseley keeper was also very, very lucky to stay on the pitch as he appeared to pull Bonne back when he was chasing his blocked clearance down, but we managed to claw the lead back quickly. Both penalties looked nailed on to me.

Second half we dominated, Guiseley didn't have a shot and were out on their feet by the end, they worked hard to press us for 60mins but they ran out of steam.

The introduction of Matt Harrold changed the game for us, scored one and flicked on for Bonne to score his hatrick and held the ball up very well - Something we've badly needed.

I can only see Guiseley struggling, they were awful at the back and were a bit lucky to take the lead on the balance of play but they frustrated us for 60mins before getting tired.

 

[The Terminator]

Can we have Macauley Bonne back please, Orient?

He's still got alot to learn and is naive at times, but he has the attributes to be a very good lower leagues striker. He doesn't stop running!

 

[Chief Rocka]

That's better Pools, totally one sided game, was a but worried when I saw the team but 17 year old Simpson led the line like a champ, won all sorts in the air and got himself a goal well impressed with him.

What a difference it makes having two competent centre backs in your team, not that they had much to do, Maidstone were awful.

 

[Sparrow]

We always lose at Macclesfield, it's THE LAW.


Oh, hang on.

 

[Shotsfan1993]

Evans, Arnold, De Havilland, Oyeleke, Mensah, Okojie and Rendell all out injured

Lyons-Foster suspended

Fenelon off after 8 minutes with a hamstring injury

McLure only fit enough to play 60 minutes

Gallagher only fit enough to play 30 minutes

Forced to play two academy players that are nowhere near good enough for the first team in normal circumstances.

And somehow, despite the 11 on the pitch being out on their feet at the end of the game, we still won.

 

[Pliny Harris]

Defo our most satisfying performance so far this season. Two teams giving it everything and the right one winning, especially helps when it's against big money too. It's not often you get Shaymen joking amongst each other rather than hating one another's guts and standing as far apart as possible! Flyde were tough opposition throughout but professionalism won out to make it a satisfying 2–1. It should confirm to any doubters that we're capable in this league, and Denton's a real asset, just very unorthodox.

 

[Fyldefan]

Halifax 2-1 Fylde

Can't really argue with that result, I thought we were playing really well start of second half and had some great chances but we didn't take them. Then we score and it looked like being a 2 or 3 nil win to me but as per fucking usual we concede straight away and every credit to Halifax it was a much closer game after that. That big lump that they have up front always causes us problems and he did again today to score 2. I felt we were a bit fortunate in both games against them last season so can't have any complaints today.

As for us, Montrose and Jones look like really good signings. Not sure about the rest. Still it's our first season and I think we will finish mid table. Nowhere near good enough to challenge but I think we're to good to go down

 

[John Still]

Thought we did well today, 18 year old up front and bagged himself a goal. Although Gateshead had a lot of possession they created little just one save to note, plenty of crosses but not much else. I don't think on paper we've had an easy game yet but still unbeaten and top. Cheek out for 6 weeks is a big blow of selling Hawkins, need Whitely back quick. Hartlepool and Sutton next.

 

[Joe.]

What did Guiseley do?

Something us newbies to this league will never know I guess!

Whilst drawing every game is getting slightly boring, we are showing the fight and spirit in these games with a lot of our squad out injured. Dean Rance returned to the bench today after not playing since the play off final, but Myles Weston joined Dave Winfield, Kenny Clark, Jack Connors (three of our main back four), Andy Drury and Bradley Bubb on the injury list, with Sam Magri on international duty still.

The wins will come (as will the losses), but happy to still be unbeaten.

 

[Ronaldo to Wrexham]

1st half not great. Ref gives Bromley pen for hand ball, that was set up by the Bromley player handling the ball just outside box. Good pen save by dibble which seemed to actually kick us up the bum. Much better 2nd half and 2 goals by massanka and thought wright and Wedgebury were good in the middle. Pearson and manny solid at the back. 3 wins in a row and 3 clean sheets as well. The Bromley no 18 was intent on trying to pick fights with our defence and mouth off at ref and was subbed late on.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Sounds like we punished Guiseley for what they did. Bastards.
