In the middle and defensive thirds, what is the point of Philips?!? He just seems to be running around for the sake of running..... weak in the tackles, giving up on the ball and pointing at players going past him expecting someone to get his man.....
The FA guidelines require a minimum 2 yard, but 3 where possible is recommended runoff around the pitch. I don’t think there’s room to accommodate a 3 yard run off, especially on the side where the benches are if the pitch was wider.
I think it’s currently 70 yards wide, which is the FA recommended size anyway.
In the attacking third, can't fault the effort (except not hitting the target but noone perfect) but everywhere else he just seems lost. Maybe he's not match fit, but it took 33 mins before his first challenge / tackle in our half
Still lacking confidence, so we ae rushing when we don't need to & responding too slowly when we need a quick response.
We seem to be playing with 2 at the back when we push forward as Grimmer is pushing too high in support of KVY, running the risk of an overload on that side when we lose the ball.
We've moaned for the last few months that the team has been ponderous going forward, now it seems we're treating the ball like a bomb. Moving it forward as quick as possible.
There can be a balance of passing slowly then breaking and moving swiftly which we've not mastered.
Also let's please sort our our goal kicks, every one has me on edge
If we can get these loan players playing cohesively we will be right up there. A lot of individual quality. Not a lot of cohesive freedom. Think we’re slightly unfortunate to not be ahead.

I wrote that before he scored, by the way!
Yes, he was doing his best Norman Collier impression, then the stream froze, now it’s just crowd noise.
Actually, just back in time for the goal!
You were right 👍🏻
Cracking goal from young Low
Love the way our scoreboard was so shocked that it needed a reboot to show 1-0
Impressed with Low, Boyes, KVY and Phillips already.
I still think we'd benefit from widening the pitch
Phillips looks a brilliant pickup
Phillips looks very powerful but also skilful and a bit ‘wiggly’ for the defenders. A good mix.
Most certainly Low
Commentator’s nightmare from Stevenage.
Looking good so far - still alittle shaky at the back but going forward...

What game are you watching?

Pretty good goal that for Orient to be fair
Exactly the kind of ball we conceded from at the weekend...
Commentator’s curse.
How are we so exposed at the back when we are camped in our own half?
Not a great goal to concede
Now is the test of our mettle, do the heads drop or do we pick it up again?
Cant play the offside trap easily with a 5.
Struggling to figure out what we're doing. Doing a naff job of keeping the ball and moving it too quickly when we don't need to.
Pressing erratically, and when they easily bypass our midfield press, they have an easy run at our static defence.
Hard to fathom
Because we are still too slow in transition & our left hand side had pushed too far up & couldnt recover back in time
We don’t look in control, to be fair. But it will come after another few games.
Anyone else struggling to see? Not sure if the floodlights are too dim or the hoardings are too bright. And I'm at the ground.
Fine in HD.
It's very weird
In the terrace.

Much better half than the last two at home.
