Orient vs Walsall Half Time
Yes, the Fat Controller returns with his first on the spot report of the season from Brisbane Road.
Richard Money bought in Weston for his debut and Roper for Gerrard, with Wrack moving to the left wing in place of Fox, in his promised changes for the first away league game of the season. According to the Fat Controller, it has been working so far.
The back four has looked very, very good, with both Weston and Boertien looking a cut above this level and the midfield unit has worked well, seeming to have a much much better balance with Wrack out wide.
Our problems today have come up front, where the ball just is not sticking and Carneiro is looking the weakest link there.
The Fat Controller does report, however, that Walsall were much the better side for the first half an hour and were a little unfortunate that our efforts didn’t bring greater reward.
The high spot of the half, however, was late on when Orient finally woke up and the referee gave a harsh penalty for a tackle by Dann that looked outside the box, only for Ince to save brilliantly from the in form Adam Boyd, then saving again from the rebound.
Changes may be needed in the second half, so the ball stands more chance of being held up up front.
