| Super U's full of Eastern promise in the Orient 11:26 - Mar 18 with 1870 views | durham_exile |
BG and his beleaguered team head to Leyton Orient today spurred on by 1,000 of the faithful. Brisbane Road holds no fears for the U’s, but much depends on BG’s ability to play a strong and resilient team. Four successive defeats and no goals has dissipated all the good work that MB had instilled into the team.
BG is hinting at a change of formation. Just as long as he does not revert to the lone striker nonsense (again). Richie Wellens looks set to take the O’s up to league one whilst the U’s are now nervously looking over their shoulders again.
This week has seen the mutual parting of the ways with Big Frank. With over 150 appearances for the U’s and still only 31 Frank will get another club. We wish him well.
Gillingham 35 38
COL U 36 35
Harrogate 36 35
Hartlepool 36 30
Crawley 34 29
Rochdale 36 25
In truth Rochdale are doomed and then it is one from the next 5 teams. We still need 13 more points to be safe from the 30 still on offer.
Remaining fixtures:
Orient A
Tranmere H
Newport H
Stevenage A
Crewe H
Salford A*
Crawley A
Sutton H
Doncaster A*
Mansfield H*
*My last three games of the season!
BG must be brave today; I suggest 3,4,1,2

Chambers Kelleher Hall

Weather in East London, cloudy a mild 12 degrees Celsius, 39% chance of rain.
Safe journey to the travelling faithful. Approximately 40% of trains running to day. Comrade Lynch has turned down the latest pay offer even though many of the members are urging him to settle.
Enjoy the game.
Scoreline a magnificent 2-1 to the Super U’s in a pulsating game. Chilvers and Tovide on the scoresheet.

Wood won't be playing as he is on loan from Orient.
We have a good recent record at Orient. Not lost there for the last five games.
Orient are undefeated at home for the last 12 games. With 10 clean sheets in that time. |  |

Mick quite right about Wood, my oversight.
Newby to play instead
Our excellent recent record at Brisbane Road is exactly my point.
I expect us to upset the odds with a handsome victory.

Soft penalty decision, but bad mistake by Kelleher to allow it. Otherwise an even game to be honest. |  |

Bit late today bit why has Jay been dropped.
Best player against Stockport
Jay will be our new Jevani Brown - a player with ability, too clever for his team mates, a system that does not suit him and we will drain his confidence |  | | |

Bored of hearing the same every game
Pressure really on to get a result when you consider our inability to score goals | | | |

Goalkeeper cleaned out Tovide, but no penalty. Same ref that screwed us at Mansfield. But our shot count tells everything. Pretty passing football, zero end product. With Crawley winning and Hartlepool taking a point, we need something fast. |  | | |

Didn't see that result coming but very happy

I really hope this comeback provides a confidence boost for the players | | | |

Fantastic fightback, nothing more than we deserved. I didn't expect us to get anything today, so that is indeed a very welcome point, and we've got that no goals monkey off our back too. | |

Important point given the other results.
Getting very tight.
Rochdale scoring 4 at home must be fuming they only got one point. |  | | |

Connor Hall's header was excellent, but Noah Chilvers must be goal of the season.
Outstanding.
Now for those last 12 points to put this season to bed.
It is so frustrating when the team is capable of far more than we are achieving.

I'll gladly take 12 points, but I have a feel low 40s might be enough for safety. Two consecutive home victories over Tranmere and Newport (both winnable) could just be enough. | |

Wessex the Crawley game could be the ultimate six pointer.
Ideally we can not only secure the 12 points but also push on to get over 50 but it will be yet another season of struggle which is so frustrating.

As previously stated to many defensive mistakes, but a brilliant fight back against the league leaders. There is enough in the squad to turn this around but must concentrate better when defending. |  | | |

From the O's unofficial message board:
"You’re right. Clearly the team has regressed over the last couple of months. It’s a real shame too - although I’m still confident we will finish top, the impetus that was created in the first half of the season has been lost and that might have a knock on effect in L1 as FGR have found to their cost!
Still, well done Colchester - thoroughly earned their point on the day."
To be fair, they probably will still win the league, but heartening to hear praise where praise is due. | |
