    I don't think anything speaks louder of the apathy towards the club at the moment more than the fact we don't have a match thread yet for this.

    Given the complete lack of confidence, and Adams' inability to set a team up I will be placing a bet on this to mirror Saturdays result. Orient are low on confidence and I think I read somewhere that they haven't scored a goal since 11th December in any competition ? We all know what comes next.

    I expect to see Threlkeld & Watt walk straight back in. Possibly at the expense of Songo'o who had a good game on Saturday. FCD won't even be on the bench and I wouldnt be surprised to see Kelleher in stead of Canavan.

    The rot is set in, but lose this (or even fail to win) and I expect to see real hatred towards Adams, along the lines of what Bowyer got.

    Prediction - winning at halftime, lose the match 3.1 then only 18 days to wait until we trot up to Oldham, lose and finally get rid of Adams.

    Watt will probably come in for Cooke an as we all know Threlkeld will be back in for FCD. Won’t be surprised to see Adams’ Love Child Gillead back into the side seeing as Vernam is injured an The Luton lad is MIA

    No idea how this one will go. Orient are having a really bad time with injuries and could lose Harry Smith tonight to Cardiff. They have a couple of new signings including Otis Khan who ive always liked when ive seen him play and George Kay the big 6ft 4 centre back from Exeter.
    They havent won in 6 which includes 5 defeats and havent won away from home in the league since the 18th September.

    I’m off to watch Thackley v Eccleshill instead. I’m sure they’ll be a few fellow bantams there too.

    If you're not happy with the club then don't go.

    I won't look down on anyone for going as for some it's time to spend with the family even if we're awful. I miss going but I think it's better to show my displeasure and miss out on football in the short term than be stuck here for years under Rupp.

    Rupp & Rahic came and ruined this club and only one of them has gone, the other is still here and we still regress every season.

    Score prediction: 2-0 Orient because we know what happens when we face teams on shit form.

    Bee'n going over 50 years not missed many home games in that time, but Saturdays second half tactics did it for me.
    Staying at home tomorrow rather worm the cat than watch Mr Adams tactics.

    A few teams below us have games in hand. Bristol rovers will probably overtake us. Lose against Orient and we would need a miracle to make the play offs.
    Pathetic.

    I seem to recall when Kenny Jackett was at Pompey he generally had the measure of Plymouth, when Adams was manager.

    It'll be interesting if the Indian sign continues tomorrow.

    Don’t think I will bother turning up, just like the team.
    Don’t like to miss games but I would rather stay at home in the warmth than watch some inept tactics. Everyone in the ground could see Crawley would score in the second half except Adams, then to blame players? It’s a poor workman who blames his tools.
    As stated away to Oldham in a few weeks, definitely a City manager killer.

    Going to miss Vernam tomorrow, the width will come from where?
    Orient went with three at the back in their last match so does Adams stick with his 4-2-3-1 and let Cook amble around alone.
    A bore draw beckons

    Can’t beat proper grass roots stuff, toying with the idea of watching it permanently if Rupp doesn’t look like going
