Orient V Cambridge Official Thread

Post by RedDwarf 1881 »

I’ve got a bad feeling about this game . At the moment I think Cambridge are playing better than us . Our problem seems to be in midfield again this season. What’s wrong with El-Miz . ? Carrying an injury ? He’s playing like he’s carrying some bricks on his back. Also it looks like Isaac Hayden can only give us 45 minutes ( if that ) . The only midfielder we’ve got who’s playing well at the moment is Gilbert and he hasn’t even had a pre-season . 2-1 to Cambridge

I can't go & managed to sell my ticket online pretty quickly.
I too can't see us winning this as Cambridge usually score.& we would then need at least 2 to get any kind of result.
Things not going well atm but you never know.
Cue Board meltdown if we lose. Cambridge to win.

My first ever Os soccer match off was against Cambridge back in the old Div 4 days.

I'm suspect tomorrow will be a 1-1 draw.

Is this the Prediction Thread because Constanza hasn't started one yet or an early posted Exiles Thread? Thanks for any clarification.

It saddens me to write this and I hope I am totally wrong
3-1 to Cambridge
Scarlett with a consolation goal in the 80-90th minute
6 yellows and a red for an Orient player
RW shakes hand with the opposition manager then disappears down the tunnel
The crowd boo the players at half-time and the final whistle and we start to hear louder cries of "Richie Out"
PT does the after match interviews

As I've said above I hope I am totally wrong.

Off to the match in a few mins.

Hmm, yeah. This XI will be perceived as a gamble, even if it transpires that no-one else was fit enough to start.

Slight fear that we could implode today, and then this team selection will look really odd.

It’s either a move of desperation or genius to shake things up. A team that’s not played together with 3 having no minutes in the last 6 months and a couple still getting 100% fit doesn’t sound like a good plan to me

Just to give Richtea a little chuckle, I just searched “prediction” in CCH’s post history and in those threads he’s predicted 6 Orient wins in 47 recent games :D

That starting XI worries me, not on ability but whether REG, Boniface and O'Neill make it through the game unscathed
