Match Thread Most liked posts in thread: Home V Leyton Orient 23/02, 7pm kick off.

Maybe it was because they didn’t give us time on the ball but let’s face it, if we had come away with a point tonight everyone would be saying we ground out a draw.

 

Didn't say he was the weak link but in the second half there were 2 or 3 times when Brophy went on, came back and passed to team mate with a sort of give and go, O'Connor stopped and Brophy went on and O'Connor wasn't quick enough to get back to him. Didn't come to anything but he was caught out a couple of times.

 

Brophy was one of the best I have seen for a while mate great control and very very fast......he went past the Jordan Sub Weeds lad like he was not there and he is quick...

 

Absolutely agree. Was never really a fan until now.

 

Indulge me with the post number cos I cannot find it.

 

Based on recent performances wood was poor tonight. Passing all over the place and clearing headers going no where. Orient have scored 1 away goal in ages so not likely they would score tonight=obvs clean sheet.

 

You don't make any sense
This was my response to the win FYI.

 

whose pritchard ha ha

 

Or you are punching? and we have been failing?

 

Anyone know if Matty Foulds is still alive. Not heard anything from him since he arrived.

 

That's about the single most stupid post I've read since, er, your last one.

Made me smile though. Cheers.

 

Anyone seen the post match interview with Embleton? Remarkably similar to the ones with Stuart just before he got sacked.

 

In my humble opinion Cambridge are not that good ( pause for laughs) If you stop Mullin and Hoolahan you stop the team. We did it twice and nilled them and were it not for the rarity of Evans shot hitting both posts AND staying out we would have taken all 6 points.
Yes they will be there or thereabouts but for me not good enough for autos.

 

Probably the best thing about the run we are on Exeter apart is how rock solid our defence has been and that’s defence as a team not just our back four. I hardly remember Hornby having to make a save. It bodes well because there will be plenty of matches like last night where the opposition won’t give us the time on on the ball to play fluent football but with the players we have got we have always a chance of hitting the net

 

So whats your point?

If a team isn't getting few kicks then the other team are being extremely careful in not giving anyway.

If a team is giving away many few kicks then they are being sloppy in that area.

We were lucky that LO didn't take advantage of all the free kick chances that come their way.

 

Or we defended them well which we did.

 

How many direct free kicks have we scored from this season?

Anyway a pen is better than a free kick. Stop moaning

 

For me we were lucky that they were poor at free kicks.

I don't think a wall jumping is defending them well. Free kicks misses tend to be a poor shot or a good save. Don't think Hornby had to make a save from any.

 

Trueman said as much in the interview afterwards. The ref just didn’t give us much until later on. My point was, maybe we should be cute around the box and start looking for free kicks when nothing is on. A bit of gamesmanship. As I said not a complaint just an observation.
