Amazingly, we cannot claim to have the worst home record in the division. We have actually managed a win this season at home, albeit back in August.

We've just set a new club record - 7 straight home defeats in a row in the league. We've been garbage in all 7 games and have deserved to lose all 7. Scoring twice in the process.

There is huge apathy at Brisbane Road, the Italian owners and staff running the club are running us into the ground, nobody likes them. Fans have given them earfuls for a good few months now, and all they do is walk away.

Exeter will probably look to start and kill us off quickly, like they did with Morecambe when they were 3-0 up at half time.

Our crowd have become very, very restless which away teams have been using in their favour.

Hopefully Tisdale and co will win comfortably, which would mean they'd lead to the sacking of a second Orient manager in the same year after Hendon was sacked in January.

Alberto Cavasin is fucking useless. Much like his bosses.

That would be fourth manager sacked this year. Not second. Fourth.

Not that Bullshitti will sack CavasOUT. Finally got the yes man he's always wanted.

Having snatched defeat from the jaws of victory at Carlisle I expect us to turn in a purely abject performance here, ensuring our away performances start to resemble our home results.

RIP City. The trapdoor beckons.

God knows what to expect on Tuesday. Orient are in turmoil and I can only hope that your Italian manager has completely lost the players, in which case I expect us to get a win.

Part of me hope we lose to put more pressure on Tisdale but if our away for goes tits up we won't stay up.

Hope we jettison Matt Oakley and bring in Lloyd James to see if he fancies putting in a performance against his old team. I fancy Reid to continue to cause problems as he's looked good lately.

I'll go for an optimistic 2-1 win. Reid double with McCallum scoring for Orient. 244 travelling Grecians.

I'll be heading to this one. Really enjoyed the fixture last season but I doubt I'll witness a similar performance. The apathy described by the Oreint fans sounds similar to the attitudes of our fanbase. Nothing to get excited about whatsoever and a resignation that nothing is going to change.

Suspect it will be a draw which won't help either side out very much.

2-2 draw. Lloyd James & McAllinden scoing for us.

Sorry, what I meant was it would be the second sacking of an Orient manager in a year following an Exeter win at Brisbane Road! Their 3-1 win back in January resulted in our first sacking of the year, Hendon!

Tuesday's crowd could be a very low attendance, lots of people I know not bothering. Mainly because its cold, wet and we're shit.

I live in London and even I don't think I can be bothered to go. My friends who were coming have bailed out because of flooding on the trainlines in the South West... Personally I can't even be arsed traipsing all the way across town to watch a bunch of drips splashing around pretending to be footballers.

I honestly don't know why I'm going tonight, I have never felt so apathetic about the orient, it actually gets me a bit down at times to see how far we have fallen.

I really hope Exeter win by a large margin and we finally sack our ineffective, clueless "manager".

If I sat in the West Stand I would genuinely throw my season ticket at the players at half time in disgust - I am shocked no one has done this yet.

I want my club back.

Tisdales substitutions are frankly suicidal. We were dominating until he subbed our best attacking options.

Nothing to do with Tis, you were dominating because you were playing the worst team in the league. Were going down. I hate everything about my club right now.

Game went as expected, Exeter did deserve the win, but I honestly thought they were a bit poor myself - Some of their defending and passing at times would've been punished by a better side. They looked very nervous - But at least their team clearly wanted it, ours for the 8th home game in a row and 9th this season, didn't enough.

The spirit amongst the place was summed up when Paul McCallum was subbed, he'd been shit all game and applauded as he came off and he got booed and got a rightful earful from the fans - He just walked off down the tunnel.

We played a 17 year old 2nd year scholar at right back, then left back second half. He offered nothing going forward - Although that was partly down to his team mates clearly having little confidence in giving him the ball.

2,600 home fans and 300 away fans - Its only going to get worse. Cavasin has to be sacked, but until Doncaster destroy us 8-0 Saturday, I can't see it happening soon.

Eh? Exeter were under the cosh completely in the second half with Orient looking far more likely to make something happen (excluding the counter), Tisdale's changes stabilised a very rocky ship.

I was set for a Luton v Pompey game but a last second change of plan saw me end up at this.

Judd takes the overhyped youngster debut, he was one of the poorer players on the pitch, he made one tackle! He allowed a flurry of crosses and struggled to get tight to any sort of movement.

Weir by contrast wasn't the 0/10 player the fans and message board would suggest, infact I think there's probably cause to say he was Orient's bet player (criticise Judd and semi-praise Weir, I expect to be hung). For the first time in a long time I can honestly say that there was not one player who could come out of that saying they played well.

Exeter were poor, really poor in fact. Apart from Reid who was head and shoulders above any player on the pitch, especially his hold up. Deserved the win. Good luck for the season, hope you stay up (just not at the expense of Orient or Morecambe)

Can't disagree with any of that.

Sounded like a game full of nerves and mistakes. From the commentary it would seem that we shaded the first half but rode our luck in the second half.

Had we been playing a top half team we probably would've conceded. Orient must be shite if we kept a clean sheet....

Not a fan of Oakley coming on and trying to sit on a lead because we're usually terrible at doing that but tonight it just about worked. Can't see Orient's manager staying much longer but then who's gonna want that job at the moment?

Still, it's a win which is great and hopefully we will have Holmes back on Saturday and perhaps Troy Brown to make us stronger, but Luton will be a very tough game.

Just made it back home. A very, very bad game of football. We were poor apart from the spell after our goal until half time. Orient were the worst side I've watched in a long time with them having I think one shot on target & players just going through the motions. The only positive we can take from the match is we managed to win as if we were playing anyone else I don't think we would have.

Based on that match. Neither side will be getting much rest bite from the bottom 2 this season.

God that's bad - a bit like water boarding under the influence of a chemical cosh.

I can only imagine the effectiveness of that pair in the dressing room but you poor buggers have to experience it week in week out.

There's definitely scope for Blackpool to set up a mutual support group and counselling for the growing number of L2 clubs with shit owners.
