Match Thread Away V Leyton Orient Saturday 28/8/2021 @ 3.00pm

You have the wrong game on, where were you last week Mr Positive ?.

 

Jamie Proctor got both good lad

 

They are at home let them huff and puff

 

Yep our old player Jamie Proctor got both.

 

nice to see port vale get a couple early against forest green

fine by me if forest green are dropping points

 

Christ no. It would end up as a long winded monologue

 

Sounds like it's been a lot of huffing and puffing from both sides.

Forgot about their keeper. He made some good saves last season.

 

Mansfield

 

Canavan header cleared off the line. Nicely growing into this game.

 

Vernam getting into the game but nothing in it.

 

And a good shot from Vernam apparently

 

Nice work from Gillead on the right. HT 0-0

 

ht not much in it

 

I mean offering your congratulations on winning.........................nowhere to be see, but quick enough to comment "We’re getting creamed out there" nothing in the game, hardly a feast of football but far from getting creamed as you suggest.

 

OK so a dull first half but away from home that's not necessarily a bad thing.

This season at least I'm confident we've got a manager who can have an effective half time team talk having seen their tactics and get us on top in the second half.

 

grew into the game, gilly and vernam will skin the full backs every time if we can get them on the ball in the right areas, cooks not getting much from the centre halves though beyond that header which was going in if not for the goal line clearance. They've had a lot of the play but haven't really created anything bar a couple of dangerous crosses.

 

Poolside report.

Watt not entirely visible , defence not under a great deal of pressure, mind you neither are theirs other than off the line from Canavan. Surprised Vernam is quiet, in saying that Cooke not giving him much service , neither is Ridehalgh .

Looking for a better second half!

 

Little lucky was Ridehalgh by all accounts

 

Need Crankshaw down the right

 

Poolside report

Difficult to tell from distance tbf. Ref saw nothing , irony was their player got booked for something innocuous, seconds later.
