    Worst £10 I have ever spent, I am not even watching it, it's just on. 
    You mean to say ...... you've missed all of our 3 goals?


  • Watched first half on the train. That Burstow is a player. Plenty of positives throughout the first half. Imagine there will be spaces on the bench in FA Cup with a good performance for the younger players 
    Helps that the FA Cup allows nine spots on the bench with five changes allowed,

    Football League / Premier League on the other hand only allow seven and three for the time being.
  • I remember that youth game against Birmingham and despite the 2 goals Burstow scored, the 2 who really caught my eye were the 2 central defenders, Elerewe and Bakrin.

    Elerewe is already beginning to establish himself in the first team and on the basis of that 45 minutes I see no reason why his partner shouldn't be able to make the step up as well. 
  • Who's in charge of all this rock music bollocks that keeps getting played? Had to endure 30 minutes before the Rotherham home game last week as well.

    Morgan the best player on the pitch, after Saturday's failure he's doing what he has to do, which is to show Jacko that he's a cut above the U23s out there
    Obviously I agree. 

    For me 

    Harness, Elerewe, Morgan and Burstow look a cut above.

    Haven't noticed Henry or Dempsey bar the wild header.

    Chin also looks okay as do Clayden and Bakrin. 

    Our u23s need a proper reserve league as they're competing easily with the level below.

    Orient 17 looks a danger sorry don't know his name.
    Morgan and Davison look our most likely to score 
    Omotoye
  • Chin's slightly struggled at right WB and is on a booking too, who else can play there?

    That's Omotoye. Looks good, but needs to be careful, given that he's developing a bit of a knuckle with Deji, and it looked more like a booking than what Chin got done for.
    Thanks Ali. He looks a bit good for that level

    Is that a bad thing, given the type of Midfielder those two are?

    You don't really want to notice them because if you do, they're potentially making mistakes

    Dempsey needs first team football elsewhere, not in our EFL squad as he's overaged

     That's why I didn't specify it as particularly bad, but I'd have hoped they'd be making Morgan's job of getting forward easier by breaking down attacks, but Morgan's dropped deeper than them both a few times when they were better positioned to get back.

    Does he need to be in the squad seeing that he's ours and home grown?

    Morgan plays reverse ball to Burstow, who's shot gets deflected for a corner from our left.

    48' Harness pulls off an outstanding save to tip over former Addick Smyth's header. #lofc 0 #cafc 0

    Their keeper nearly fumbles the corner but collects on the second attempt

    Great save. Souaré loses his man in the box again.
  • Great save by Harness from Smyth

    48' Chance! Paul Smyth with a header denied brilliantly by Harness. Credit to Rhys Byrne for starting the move, claiming a corner, and finding an Orient shirt with a great kick downfield. #LOFC 0-0 #CAFC

    Now down the other end, Harness has to tip over for a corner as Smyth beats Soare in the air. Harness claims the resulting corner easily.

    Potentially starts Saturday in place of Washington?

    Orient have another corner from our right but it evades everyone for a goal kick.
