Wow. More than a little surprised to see Lloyd back in the starting XI already.

Links back in the freezer after his impressive cameo last week.

Bit disappointing, especially as he was brought on ahead of Harrop, and he's on the bench.

Shepherd out of the squad as well. Barely played since he scored that goal.

Shepherd unlucky. That’s the problem when you’ve got three left sided centre halves.
Shame we’ve not got more options on the right side, as a number of the goals we’ve conceded recently have come from the area between Smith and Davies.

We seem to be having one of those games where nobody can kick a ball properly.

iFollow Leyton O commentators are still talking about "securing their place in League One" - mid table teams trying to create a narrative as there's not much to play for in mid table obscurity...

Long seems to be a bit all over the place, except usually where he needs to be. Caught between attacking and defending but not quite getting either right.

Not a single good clearance all game, finally costs us.

Just not good enough. Getting the ball up around their area but there's no threat at all. They always look a threat and then smack one in from 20 yards after shocking defending.

Nope. Southwood's balls forward have been c!#p as well. Gonna be game over soon the way it's going.

Pretty much everything we do going forward is percentage balls , hoping someone is there or gets to it first. Meanwhile, Orient know exactly where the ball is going and who to.

Pett and kinsella been pretty ineffective last 3 games.
New mid field second half and reward those that put in a shift with a start next game

Totally agree. It’s no good bringing the lad on when it’s too late for him to be effective.

I would be tempted to make all 5 subs at half time. None of them deserve to be out there on that showing

No doubt that some of our players are now running out of steam. Pett for example looks a shadow of the player he was a few months ago.
We are where we are because we are just not quite good enough for league one football, much of that has to be down to poor overall recruitment since last summer.
Good news it was mentioned that if Alfie is top scorer in league one at the end of the season we get some more dosh from Charlton. No idea how much though but can’t believe it would be that much?

I wouldn't go quite that far. Ferry, Sercs, Lloyd have been alright, even if they haven't made much of a difference.

Just collectively feels like one of the worst halves we've had under DC. Particularly frustrated with Long, Davies and Freestone. They're supposed to be experienced, calm heads at the back and they've been all over the place.

Absolute donkey. If that's at the other end he'd have slotted it home I'm sure.
