26/12/09 ORIENT,our biggest game of this season so far?

[wigman]

They are one place above us with a plus 4 goal difference,we are going to have to put 5 clear goals past them to leapfrog them.
It really is the classic 6 pointer and im going for a 2-0 win to the Albion in front of 6685 (285 away).

 

[El Turi]

A 3 goal victory would take us above them.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

nothing less than a 6-0 thrashing is unacceptable.

 

[Barnham Seagull]

Need to win this as we are starting to be cut adrift, we are now 5 points behind Oldham.

 

[Steve Foster]

Actually think we just might win this one. Predict Orient will go for the draw & we will have to work hard to break them down but I am going for a 2-1 win.

What's more concerning is that we are talking about a six-pointer on Boxing Day. We had 7 cup-finals at the back end of last season, and the games are starting to get like that already - worrying times indeed.

 

[Lord Bamber]

It will be an 8 goal thriller minus a ray wilkins thumper....6-2 to the mighty stripes. Bonus for us all....ref will make us use an orange ball ala the old days!

7215 (293 away)

What are the odds on McLeish scoring, he usually does against us.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Brighton 5-0 Orient.

If we took our chances against Swindon, we'd have won 3-2. I think we just need to score an early goal to really roll a team over, and I see no reason why we shouldn't tear Orient to shreds. Someone is going to cop it, why not Orient?

No they're not.

Some people on here really need to man up.
We'll probably lose to Orient though, Dicker is suspended so our midfield will be a turgid non entity again.

 

[BensGrandad]

A 3 goal victory would take us above them.

Wouldnt a 2 goal win takes us to equal goal difference of -14 but we would have scored more so go above them!! That would be a good physcological boost as we would be out of the bottom 4.

Your right a 2 goal win would take us above them, this has got to be the target for the boys. It will be interesing to see how Gus combats Dicker being suspended. I would imagine him changing the formation.
I hope he goes 4-4-2 with cox in on the left, but fear he may play three centre back in a 3-5-2 and use Bennett and McNulty as fullbacks.
It worked for ManUtd yesterday!

 

[Braders]

El-Abd and Whingy to kick the shit out of McGleish

the score - not a clue

 

[BensGrandad]

Man Utd have no fit central defenders we have loads but it is not the quantity but the quality we are lacking. IMHO he will stick with 4-4-2 and just put Cox on the left wing.

I wonder if it worth experimenting with Livermore and allowing him or McNulty to get forward and the other to cover when this happens.

 

[Ding Dong !]

All this talk of 6 -2 , 5-0 etc etc makes me laugh.

I'd be happy with a scrappy 1 - 0 with the goal coming off someones backside for all I care.

I just want 3 points !!!!!!!

 

[WhingForPresident]

Every game is our biggest of the season so far.

Because most of our team can't score for shit.

 

[BensGrandad]

I have absolutely no doubt in my mind whatsoever that we will lose this game.

Hopefully someone soon might realise that we're in a MUCH worse position this season than we were last.

Why do you say that when we are only about 2 or 3 players off of being a good team, and these will hopefully come in during January. By the way good to have you back.

I would also settle for a 1-0 win, in off someones arse!! we need a win, its very good playing entertaining football but not much use if we keep fooking losing
