Orient Match Reports

[sonofabee]

Couldn't give a flying one what Rowlands thinks to be honest. Perhaps if we didn't spend 90 minutes calling him a **** he wouldn't be so fired up and produce performances like that. Why not ignore him instead and let him know he's not even worth our attention? Then spend that time and energy cheering for our own team. Or perhaps too many people just enjoy calling other people ****s.

A crowd of us old sceptics in the New road agreed not to boo Rowlands until after we were 3-0 up as knew he was likely to raise his game and hurt us - we were right but don't think we envisaged just how much of an impact he'd make. Scored a superb goal, ran midfield, talked and influenced the ref into not not even booking him after the only nasty challenge all night. It was cynical, 100% meant and yet hands on both shoulders of the ref after helping Adam up was enough to forge a relationship where he was in the cretins ear prompting him the rest of the night.
We still need to find that extra nouse, nastiness and influence that name players make the most of - unfortunately Jon Douglas lacks the subtlety and doesn't court refs like so many other seasoned pros we see here week in week out.

4523 (350 away)

I guessed around 4k. As expected it probably was with ST no shows.

I really wish the club would tell us how many went through the turnstiles to give a "proper" attendance ???

If it means we keep the money as a result of not declaring the total amount I'm happy to not know!

 

[Better Beehave]

Thats average for aldershot,we arent aldershot

They average just over 2,000 (not long back it was 3/3,500) so we did well to get 4,500 in my view. Notts had 3,500 Pools 2,500.

More than ever people are choosing their games. As much as I love the Bees & we offer some good deals I can take "er indoors" & the two kids to the Ice Hockey (nice & warm inside, good atmosphere, cheap food & drink etc) & the whole evening costs about £40 in total.

 

[DavidgRushden]

I'm glad Bidwell was reportedly seen crying.

His stupidity ultimately cost us two points.

Hopefully he'll learn from tonight and by missing Sunday.

How unfair can you get? He is a very young player learning his craft. Don't you remember making mistakes at his age. OK, so his dismissal probably affected the outcome of this
match, but give him his due, he has performed consistently well all season, and although it was petulant of him to kick the ball away, was the second booking really justified?
I am sure from the post match interview that Uwe will put him right about that, but give him a boost and cheer him on when he next plays. He will already be gutted enough
not to be lining up against Chelsea. Don't you remember when the great Terry Evans (at a much advanced age) spat at the referee and got sent off? Frustration is easily remedied,
but only in hindsight.

Well said Mr Rushden.

 

[Salford Bee]

If that's true, then why not use Toumani, or Kiernan, or Reeves...

Uwe couldn't give him development games and wants him back as quickly as possible.

Kicking the ball away is stupid and rightfully a yellow.the second was a foul but never a booking,he shouldnt have gone for it,disgraceful referee wanting the limelight
When Did Evans spit at a ref ?
Shame we Didnt have a Terry Evans lastnight,he'd have put rowlands up in the air and maube out of the game within minutes of kick off

 

[Womble Bee]

In defence of Adeyemi, he wasn't fully fit.

So? He shouldn't have been picked then? You are saying that Uwe picks unfit players un preference to the likes of Toumani or Dallas etc

 

[gj]

Reading earlier that Adeyemi was not fit is not good surely dave or reeves would have been a better bet and if Donaldson needed a break why was trotta not starting

That's not the brightest reply, we only lost because we had 10 players !

 

[Simon BMTH]

Chelsea had 6000 against coventry in the 90s

Oh yeah - If I had a penny for every time i've heard the phrase 'oh i've always supported Chelsea'......not many of them actually went to Stamford Bridge, evidently...

Re: Charlie McDonald. Did he get the dodgy penno for you against us in the 1-1 at GP 2 years ago? Sort of leaned back agaist our CB and fell over...history there..

 

[To Bee Someone]

Can't quite work out Russell Slade's comments. They had SIX big chances apparently. Aside from the goals I count the penalty and a header from a set piece in the first half. Also Lee Cook seems to think they would have got something out of it even if we had 11 men, that's wide of the mark in all honesty. We were all over them and a 3rd goal looked imminent

You're right and then he got one for MK Dons against us last season for exactly the same. Last night he was awful and he's have been better off left in the box with the ball as never look like scoring but he always looks for the foul as he knows he can't go past players anymore and the buffoon of a ref was the only one in the ground who bought it!

Aldershot who are having a sh*t season were down a hundred or so lastnight,we were down around 2500/3000 from Saturday and having a very successful season,not much of a comparison there,Notts county are on a downward spiral and have just told the fans the lack or cut in ambition they now have after saying originally aiming for success this season.hartlepool are bottom of league,havnt woń at home since september and never really have good gates.
People were complaining under scott,saying the fans will stay away and gates will be an all time low under him,that lastnight was exactly the sort of gate people were on about and we were 4th prior to kick off,now 3rd in the league at full time.
There was not 4200 Brentford fans present lastnight

 

[Savagebee]

I enjoyed lastnights game i thought it had everything including a very poor ref.

Young Bidwell will learn from lastnights game.

Thought Moore made some great saves.

We are 3rd in the League and playing Chelski at home in the FA Cup so it could be much worse.

 

[gj]

Think posters saying we were all over them is a bit wide of the mark

 

[To Bee Someone]

Good point. I won't

 

[GP200]

In defence of Adeyemi, he wasn't fully fit.

.............then he ought not to be playing............

I know proper chelsea who hate how the club is now.


I dont like diving full stop.wether its us or them.the sąd thing about football now is its becoming a game of who can out cheat the other.the prem is the worst but everyone is at it

 

[To Bee Someone]

Think posters saying we were all over them is a bit wide of the mark

From the beginning of the 2nd half up to the sending off we were. That's what I meant. I think everyone agrees we were poor in the first half and fortunate to be in front

 

[Savagebee]

a couple of them try to be lary for their mates benefit in ER, they need to be told to get the ball and just give it straight back to the player be it opposition or not, it makes the club look unprofessional.

To be fair the ball boy was being a bit of a d***. Just collecting and holding the ball for the goalkeeper to come and get it off him. I'm sure it was the same lad as Saturday doing the same thing when we were level. If he wants to be all cocky to away goalkeepers at the home end then he's got to take the grief when it comes his way. His job is to collect the ball and pass it back to the keeper, just like the kids on Braemar Road were doing. Annoyed me on Saturday and annoyed me yesterday. Just a kid trying to be Jack the Lad. If he doesn't want the job presumably he doesn't have to take it.

Agree.

If these lary ball boys can give it they should be able to take it.

MY BOLD>

I think we will see some amazing diving on Sunday and some severe injuries to some Chelskie players which will amazingly clear up seconds after they have conned the ref into granting them a free kick or even better for them getting one of our players a yellow card or sent off !!

 

[Paul O'Brien]

By the way, at halftime, it looked as though 2 Bees fans were ejected at the Ealing Road end. From what they said as they passed, I got the impression it was just for throwing snowballs. Anyone know any more about that?

 

[Balders Bee]

.............then he ought not to be playing............

He was fit in that he had recovered from his injury, he told me Saturday that he would be involved on Tuesday. However if the question was "Is he match fit" in terms of sharpness the evidence was that he wasn't on last nights performance.

Young lad coming back from injury- think we should cut him a little slack. With the benefit of hindsight Dave should have started and Adeyemi maybe had twenty minutes at the end -in the perfect world.

 

[Brentford 4 Life]

.............then he ought not to be playing............

Well he didnt really play did he

 

[The Pipe]

Not ejected just told to behave by the senior steward who later had a snowball thrown at him. Fair dos he laughed

 

[SigiBee]

Mr Pipe, I thought I saw them being led to the Ealing Road gate by Mr Bump.

 

[TW1Bee]

I'm clearly not alone in having seen the Orient goalkeeper booked for berating the ref about one of our goals. But, Orient appear to have had no yellow cards. Curious.

The highlights on Bees player clearly shows that was the case. I'd be interrested to know why that hasn't been recorded anywhere.

 

[Salford Bee]

So? He shouldn't have been picked then? You are saying that Uwe picks unfit players un preference to the likes of Toumani or Dallas etc

He was only fit enough to play 70 minutes.

 

[The Pipe]

Mr Pipe, I thought I saw them being led to the Ealing Road gate by Mr Bump.

If they were the 2 at half time one was given a telling off and then back to terraces, his mate was not spoken to. We all felt it was rather amusing and had a different view as to what should be done with them!!!

 

[Savagebee]

Mr Pipe, I thought I saw them being led to the Ealing Road gate by Mr Bump.

Is Mr Bump that little fat steward that walks up and down in front of the Eailing Road terrace all the time ?

Some of those stewards in the dark blue jackets make me laugh they think they are so important they do sod all apart from talk on there little radios and boss about the yellow/gold jacket stewards.

It's 3 hours of power in their lives. I think he was the one I once saw telling an old man to stop eating a packet of crisps on the steps of Ealing Road before a game when were in League Two. You'd have thought the bloke was preparing a molotov cocktail to launch on the pitch the way he dealt with the situation.

 

[Savagebee]

..............yep...............his boomerang won't come back..........

Thought so.

The stewards in the blue are never where the real trouble is in my opinion.

Judge Dredd wanna Bees ;-)

Quite agree. Some posters on here really do get their knickers in a twist don't they?

unfortunately the truth hurts we are not good enough

Not too unhappy if Barron plays on Sunday...he has a good background and is experienced as well...should cope with Mata easy enough......YOU REDS...

 

[gj]

stand by what i said we are not good enough at the moment

 

[sonofabee]

stand by what i said we are not good enough at the moment

The table doesn't lie, we're 3rd and if we're not good enough after 46 games we won't be in the play offs. Let's wait and see, we've only lost 1 in 15.

 

[gj]

Table doesnt lie & i did say at the moment i hope to change my mind after i have watched us at yeovil

 

[sonofabee]

The reason I'm optimistic is the fact that we're not playing particularly well and yet still in the mix and know we can and will improve.

Too right mate, and with any luck will be adding a bit more quality to a good team very soon.

 

[gj]

My worry is that apart from the fa cup replays we have not been very good for a while saying that we are third so what do i know

 

[ladbroke]

Also someone from Charlton, Crystal Palace,Watford,Southampton and Boghouse Rovers - so what !! Always staff from other league clubs at all clubs during midweek games - that's football !!
Still I suppose it gets the rumour mill running. lol

I was trying to make a joke.. as I have read a few times on here that Ipswich were watching...

Not suprised Older Chelsea don't like it - hopefully they would take their kids to a local lower league club instead..We could do with taking some of the 20,000!!! people with BH postcodes on Southampton's membership list....

I know a few chelsea who have exiled to BFC
and go regularly home and away.others bring their kids.
Bournemouth residents claiming to be southampton,****ers,theyre nowhere near

 

[JPince]

Lee Cook who was the most dangerous player on the pitch.

Heard a rumour we might be seeing a lot more of him next season.
