  • First corner, a training ground routine came to nothing, but we've got a second corner now

    Sky commentator manages to pronounce Laqeretabua's surname right, but call's him Joel 🤣
    PWR

    That’s more than our two 🤦🏻‍♀️ - it’s not LANGeretabua
    Erm... Yes it is... ;)

    I knew Terry will start getting stick for this - BUT - Josh recorded the pronunciation of his name for us last week and there is an 'N' sound with the correct Fijian pronunciation.

    So "LANG-ER-RET-A-BUA" is the correct pronunciation!#cafc https://t.co/UoCB4ckkjN

    I stand corrected, but with the amount of mistakes Terry makes every game you can see where I was coming from

    Docherty got a first half hat-trick!

    That's right, he did three good things in that first half.

    Oh Miles big chance!!! Should have gone across the keeper 
    Left it too late to take the shot, but the angle got cut out by keeper. 

    Dixon looks enthusiastic but running around like he's an extra. He needs a loan to get some experience (of lower league english football) in Jan.

    Well that's my highlight, Dan Potts eating infinity shit flipping over the advertising hoarding. Well done that man

    Corner headed across by Potts who then falls over the hoarding, ball goes wide and Edun is penalised for flying into his man in their box.
  • Great touch from Edun to go round the player, then a shit one to give away possession. 
  • Well that's my highlight, Dan Potts eating infinity shit flipping over the advertising hoarding. Well done that man
    Nice header back into the danger area, would have found a Charlton man in the six yard box not for a Orient body in the way, so his sacrifice wasnt in vein either
  • Much brighter first 10 minutes in the second half...

    Edun up the left good cross in, Godden couldn't get his body shape right, the clearance goes back to Small but he shoots over.

    Genuine question, why are we so so good, at signing crap players, we seem to excel at it!
    That has been our biggest problem for years 
  • Ooo, we've started well; Edun is everywhere, now down the left... Puts in a cross, Orient clear and Small volleys over - Decent period for us
  • Good start from us this half

    Play paused for an Orient player to get treatment by the Curbside.
  • Edun and Small have swapped positions, so Edun is LB now
  • Oh lovely... Just been given a couple of warmed up Mince pies!!

    The positive was he was strong enough to get a shot off but certainly shooting across the the goal would have been favourite.

    At least we are attacking the Covered end with our most vocal fans.🤦🏻‍♂️

    Looks like Miles can run. If he wants to.
    I think that’s the problem. He isn’t fully fit yet after being out so long. So he has to conserve his energy and pick and choose when he runs

    Plays restarted, Edun to Small, now over to Berry, upfield to Josh Laq who puts a desnt cross in that Leaburn can't quiet get his head to.

    Nice cross in from Josh but Leaburn just can't reach it. We've put a few good balls in tonight at least.

    So.. chances of playing more crosses in the League...?

  • I take back what I said about Laq, he got forward well then and put in a decent cross
  • Leaburn totally misses a header in the box from a lovely early cross from josh

    And the commentator calls him Joel again.
  • WTF was Fiji Josh doing so far forward? - Either way, beautiful cross into the box, which Leaburn flicks on but no one else to capitalise

    Would be quite funny if the two players Jones decided weren't good enough for his system Edun and Taylor turned out to be the ones who performed the best in it

    Might as well give Edun a go over Docherty in midfield

    He's already playing in lower league English football!

    Curbside?! made me laugh!
  • Dixon definitely doesn't feel ready. Too lightweight

    Pratley header wide.
