Saturday 22nd January

[Conker]

Dodgy Paul hasn't hit the same heights since. Wonder if he's still taking a cut of the fee if he sells any of his Kettering players.

IIRC you put about 19 past us in the space of three games.

Scored some screamers against you too in those 19! What you thinking for today?

 

[Boz]

Crawley v Tranmere could be a good game. I'm looking forward to it.

Shite show on Tuesday needs redeeming but we tend to do better against the better teams so here's hoping.

Would like to see Francillette back at centre half if for no other reason than it allows Francomb to go back to midfield where his energy and running make us look a better side.

Having seen the way we set up after going 2 goals up against Rochdale last weekend, it wouldn't be a total surprise if we tried to grind out a win like the Cup game.

 

[valefan16]

Going to get smashed, No Conlon, No Worrall, No Dan Jones and the situation is so bad we have only 5 subs!

 

[Bottega Don]

Our team is outrageously bad today.

Could be the worst mauling we've had this season

 

[kieran_vale]

Smith and Martin at centre back, fucking hell!!

 

[Cas]

Threlkeld back, Songo'o at CH, Gilliead still in the team and Cook on the bench. No idea why I'm optimistic.

 

[LS Bantam]

The 7 on our bench would beat the 11 starting.

 

[Boz]

Missing Tom Davies, Knight-Percival not back, so a makeshift central defender in Sam Foley. He has played there before in Scotland. Think we're going to have to outscore Crawley and go more attacking now, as can't rely on the defence to bale us out as they've done quite often.

 

[hellogregory]

Millen has yet again opted for the most ineffective midfield pairing in the league.

Like Tuesday, the opponents will control the midfield area, only this time we won’t be fortunate enough to be up against an ineffective forward line.

I fear an absolute hiding.

Go to your kitchen and fill a glass to the top. This half full approach is becoming tedious.

 

[F!RTHY]

Absolutely baffled by today’s starting XI. Has defeat written all over this.

Bench is very strong.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

We've gone with the same lads who got three minutes in the fog Tuesday.

 

[Indian Dan]

Game of 2 halves. We were good 1st, poor 2nd. Rovers team is certainly a Barton side - 6 yellows, constant fouling. If they spent less time fouling they may have had all 3 points. Dreadful.

Strange we gave them an extra 304 tickets when they didn’t sell out their initial allocation of 2500

Think Rovers might be disappointed to come away with only a point. We were disjointed and couldn't cope with their high press. If they had a proper striker instead of Doug Loft I think they win that. Still a home point in a Derby can't be sniffed at.

 

[valefan16]

Gibbons off injured. Literally couldn’t make it up. Three key players now out.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Carlisle have scored, but fortunately it was for us.

 

[Pablosammy]

This ref is worrying me. Seems the type to give an innocuous, game changing penalty

Fouls pretty even 13 v 13 ? Dives by Jonny Williams was probably double that...making a habit of that ive seen other fans say the same thing about Williams.

 

[hellogregory]

dragged back in the shit by 5pm by the look of things

Didn’t fancy mentioning your 6 bookings, then? Rotating the fouls on Williams to evade a red.

How were they fouls on Williams when he dives onto the floor. He did say he saw himself in Jack Grealish

 

[Cas]

Really disappointing that we haven't even tested their 'keeper yet.

Sounds scrappy, I'd say we're slightly on top but you're making chances.

 

[Randolph Haggerty]

Excellent commentary from Leyton Orient, very even and unbiased.
Nothing much in the game yet

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Colchester doing the Lord's work at Salford.

 

[AdamStag]

where’s the red was fair, this ref is terrible, he’s given barrow absolutely everything, we’ve not had a sniff.

We will go on to lose due to the ref but it’s absolutely ridiculous, it’s almost like he had wank when he sent rawson off.

He will give barrow a dodgy penalty or something down the line

 

[Conker]

Rawson decided to give Barrow a chance and get himself sent off.

First one came across like the Barrow player made it a yellow on purpose, think both yellows were harsh but still silly from Rawson. Referee is being stupidly inconsistent with handing out yellows for similar fouls, Banks should be on a yellow.

Sounds like the sort of ref who won you the game at yours on the first day....

 

[kieran_vale]

Given the players we have available for this game going have to say I’d take this every time.

Orient done absolutely nothing all game, we haven’t either but they are the home team so onus is on them.

We were and are better than you. Not really the same at all.
