ORIENT have to find a plan B, and fast, in order to make the play-offs.
I’m worried that over the past few games (Plymouth excepted) we have been found out by teams who have learned how to handle our slick possession game.
I shudder to say it, but perhaps a return to Orient’s traditional brand of lower-league football would help.
Crazy I know, to neglect passing football in favour of pumping it long to McGleish.
But desperate times and all that. Forgive me, Russell Slade for my heresy!
Southampton come to Brisbane Road this weekend and they have the quality to thwart us if we cannot adapt our style.
Last weekend, Charlton simply pushed higher up the pitch after the break and scored three times.
Jamie Jones’ clanger summed up the problem of no plan B. We just had no response to Charlton's new tactics.
You’ll get over it Jonesy son, you’re a top keeper. Just sign a new deal to stay next season and all will be well!
