There is no substance behind it!!

At times we passed them off the park last night, some lovely movement, and balls to feet from the defence, everyone comfortable on the ball and looking for their man, but theres no end product there!

So frustrating because if we were winning games, then Slade and his players would be lauded, but as wer not, then you can see why people are getting annoyed.

Crossing is a major weakness, i dont think one beat the first defender all night, and there are plenty of times when we get the ball into the danger area, then pass it back to the halfway line.

Thats alright, as its better to not give away possession and build again, but as wer never building towards any actual goals, then more often than not the ball breaks down.

Also, we cant defend!

Orient were a very limited side, but had the better of the chances and if you can get a few players who are prepared to run at the defence and have a shot, ie Townsend their sub who came on, then it works far better than all our pretty pictures in midfield.

Sort the defence out, sort the supply out and we could be a good team to watch!
 




copy their tactics get players in or near the box, cross it to them and watch them ping the chances at goal. They could have 4 last night.

fitness seemed to be an issue as well, they really seemed to tire in the last 20 mins.

I am a Slade supporter, for sure, but our inability to score against teams like Orient does worry me
