Match Day Thread "Four Candles" Chairboys v O's 23rd January 2016

Its back to league action at Adams Park and we welcome the O's and their new boss Kevin Nolan or as he is more widely known Son of Sam having played the majority of his football career playing for Big Sam, so we know what style of football he will expect from his team and as he is player boss will he be tempted to field himself at some point.
Having bossed the first half at Villa Park but finally succumbing to two late goals the proud and loud Chairboys return to league action, contender for man of the match in both cup ties against Villa Matty Bloomfield looks like being missing this weekend with a tight hamstring, also Gary Thompson the player who could have made himself into a Chairboys legend had that header gone in may be rested, as three games in a week is too many for his tired old legs and Sido will be looking to get some game time along with Beany who has returned from injury.
I will be at AP for this one looking for the lads to get back to winning ways but expecting a tight game with our defenders keeping Simpson quiet and unless we can knock in a goal or two from a set piece it looks like being the same score line as back in September at Brisbane Road so "got any zero's"

 

Realistically, one cannot expect the boys to go at this one with the same pace and aggression they showed at Villa Park. Also, the support cannot possibly be as vocal and continuous as on Tuesday night. So, although this is an ultra important game, mentally, this is an anti climax and they will have a struggle against a good side with a new manager. I think the tired legs will probably allow Orient to get a goal and I'm hoping we will score, albeit probably not from open play. Prediction 1-1.

 

Also Alex Lynch will get his 3rd start of the season after Matt Ingram's move to QPR

 

Gareth will have to be looking for another young goalkeeper as well

 

Somehow not confident with this, tuesday will have burnt the players out and orient will be keen to impress the new manager, plus we saw early season how good thier players are capable of being

Big few games for lynch to prove he can step up before the loan market becomes avaliable for gareth as well

Subs: Richardson, Bean, Udumaga, Ugwu, Kretzschmar, McGinn, Cowan-Hall #WYCvLEY

 

Notable absence of Holloway

 

No shots on target for either team 1st half,sounds a shocker!

 

Orient on top. PCH comes on for Hayes (injury)

 

PCH comes on for Hayes who has an injury. Matt Ingram is in the crowd watching the Blues.

 

Bring on Udumaga, I say

 

Stewart seems to be having a good game again.

 

****

 

Terrible commentating there. Chatting away and suddenly it's a goal. Couldn't even guess which team had scored

 

This is painful.

 

What a load of bollocks

 

Surely it's blatantly obvious to GA we need a bloody goalscorer NOW or it's another season in League 2. What's the point in bringing on Udumaga near the end again? Give him a start as he won't be as bad as the useless old strikers we keep picking every week regardless of form.
