Orient match thread

Well we fully satisfied all the above requirements tonight!
What a stunning performance from the whole STANLEY TEAM!:mosher:
To their credit Orient tried their best to play good football and although they had players booked they were not dirty at all. They were just beaten to virtually every ball by our quick, slick beautiful football tonight!:mosher:
The goals scored were simply SUBLIME.:mosher:
A clean sheet was the bonus as well and our keeper did his job when needed.:mosher:
Orient found it very difficult to cope with our super 'Brazilian' style play.:mosher:
The luck was not with us earlier in the middle of the season but it seems to be levelling out now and you can see the confidence oozing out of the players which was capped by Sean Mac's wonderful second goal which followed a stunning goal just a minute earlier!:mosher:
ON STANLEY ON:mosher:
ONWARD AND UPWARD:mosher::jimbo::theband::s_gupjump:wave8::signbeer::drink:

I thought Orient also were not as bad as some were saying, we were brilliant tonight and made em look far worse than they were imho.
 
Quite simply the most sublime team performance I've witnessed this season.
It was a night when everything went right for Stanley & everything went wrong for Orient.
They were far from the worst team I've seen at the Wham this season and despite the scoreline, they never gave up trying, although we were in a different class tonight.
Strangely, any euphoria I feel about such a total victory is tinged with real sympathy for the 200 odd Orient faithful who made the long journey north on a Tuesday night, only to see their team humiliated.
When you're rock bottom of the EFL & facing financial oblivion, it takes real dedication to show such loyalty. They deserve nothing but our respect.
Theirs is a club with a longer history than ours & I wish them well in their battle to stay afloat.
As for us, could it be that which we thought impossible, may actually be......... POSSIBLE!
 
we played well tonight, using the flanks well and cleverly we didnt send our full backs forward to often which helped nullify the threat from orient down the wings.

As good as we played, they were a very poor team. There best player was their left winger 22 Semedo although their number 6 Parkes put a shift in, giving 100%.
They had nothing in central midfield and it kept them on the back foot as they rarely retained possession and their midfield provided no support to the forward line. 28 Koroma had a good chance for them in the 2nd half but he showed himself to be completely one footed and as he spent time to get the ball onto his right foot, the chance was blocked.


McConville MOM but Clark also deserves a mention as he never stopped and showed good ball control.
Good move from Coleman to bring on Husin in the 2nd half, he looked decent.

one issue = there are no bins around the club shop/offices area of the main stand before the game - can the club please look at providing one?
 
excellent game, but just one gripe, we seemed to relax too much in a 20 min. spell after our second goal and did nothing. if they,d had scored then it could really have been a different game.
 
'excellent game, but just one gripe, we seemed to relax too much in a 20 min. spell after our second goal and did nothing. if they,d had scored then it could really have been a different game.'

I thought this too. We picked up after Coley mad his subs. I thought Edwards should have been on 10 mins sooner.

Disagree with Coley assessment of game. Thought we were better in first half than second. Switched off a bit in third quarter and could easily have let a better/more experienced team back into the game.

Some cracking goals,skills and a big sigh of relief as we are now effectively safe.

Bit ominous when BBC described Matty P as highly rated. Is it time now to get a few of this squad signed up?
 
Monkey Hanger and inspector - I agree too. I started to feel a bit nervous for a while.

Had a look through the Orient forum and I do feel very sorry for them. Seems their team is just a bunch of kids out of their depth that can't defend set pieces. Someone even posted at half time "we will concede another from a set piece within the next 10 mins. We always do".

The second Sean goal must have been a massive kick in the nuts though.

Some idiot called "ASFC Nick" on their forum winding them up and being a classless arse on our behalf. There's a time and place for everything and it's not now.

so did i. scored the equaliser against doncaster then never gets a look in. even terry gornell got longer a couple of games ago and did nothing. would love to see edwards get more game time from now to the end of the season as at least he looks lively.

I agree as we know which league we are in next season.... Matty has another year left with us though does he not? We turned down 250k from posh in the January window I hear.

Here is what I would do in coleys shoes;

Parish - release
Pearson - tie down as long as poss
Hughes - getting too show for me (borderline)
Davies - release
Beckles - keep
Clark - release if contract up
Brown - keep
Gornell - keep if coley can get him back to speed
Shay - keep
Sean - keep
Rodak - get back on loan if poss
Boco - release asap
Clare - send back to weds
Husin - need to see more of him looked ok last night
Lacey - release
Hewitt - release
Shaw - release not good enough by far
Chapman - keep as #2
Wall - release
Webb - release
Edwards - send back to hull
Sykes - release
Connelly - keep
Kee - keep
Donacien - release
Rodgers - I'd do whatever possible to keep but he will be in higher league next year

Who is this moron?
We should be magnanimous in victory, not rubbing salt in an open wound.
Spent a enjoyable hour in the company of an Orient fan in the Crown after the game.
He's also one of our biggest fans & attends most of the southern fixtures actually supporting us!
These are loyal fans who are just trying to save their club, after being royally shafted by an absentee owner who's disappeared back to Italy.
We've always been regarded as a fan friendly club. Idiots like this can spoil all the goodwill we derive from our generous contributions to their fighting fund.
 
Wow Mr Rocket
9 to keep in the whole squad - and you include Gornell............................
You've put Sykes on the release list. There were a few clubs in for him in January and the offers were turned down. Higher league clubs as well. One to hang on to for me.
Why Donacien and Clark on your release list ? Discuss.

What is your source on Sykes? I heard nothing about clubs coming in for him.
Re: Donacien for me he just charges up and down and gets caught out then blames others, whilst clarky works hard I think we can get better in the summer. It's a buyers market and there will be lots of better free players in the summer I'm sure coley will be looking already
