That was a long VAR check in the Africa Cup of Nations final.

Good stuff, well done Junior on your 2 goals thus far.

Well done Joseph

Test

Agreed RP - I can see the sense behind the test but only if the IFR have the teeth to enforce measures for failing. If owners have to put £x into a type of escrow account then that makes sense to me. But how much? How long must a club be able to continue going while a new owner is found? And what if an owner chooses to withdraw funding but not sell à la Chansiri at Wednesday?

Feels like 90% of clubs would go into meltdown if owner funding was suddenly removed

That's us fucked then, Trigs.

[Link] Wonder whether we’d pass this test under current conditions. “ All 116 regulated clubs must have "appropriate financial resources" in order to achieve a full license and will be required to hold a sufficient amount of cash, considered assets able to be converted almost immediately and not including players. Clubs must also prove they have sufficient resources to meet their financial commitments and withstands stresses such as relegation, withdrawal of owner funding or other income shocks. If the IFR believe clubs are at risk of failing to meet the requirements, they may impose specific conditions to get clubs back on track, including the requirement for clubs to hold a sufficient level of liquidity, reducing expenditure or restructuring debt.”

REPD-everyone’s got fatigue at the moment it will test the depths of the squad

cw - we do not do things the easy way!!! 0-2 and back to back defeats will get many reaching for their worry beads

I was at Orient v Peterborough on Saturday, and while our opponents tonight weren't special they have enough about them to make it difficult this evening.

*(that should say “our last 4 HOME league games” obviously…)*

We’ve scored 11 goals in our last 4 league games, all wins - so I wouldn’t be too surprised if that little run came to an end tonight… Hoping for a draw or better, but not going to be upset with the lads if we lose - they’ve dragged us away from the drop zone pretty well, and I’m fairly sure we will pick up the points needed to stay up…

Dons 1 Orient 1 yawnfest in the city but we get to 50 points

Yeah can certainly understand if that was the case and that’s part of why I’m a little pessimistic about tonight. Hope that if we do have a second slump it’s no so dramatic and we can stay clear of trouble.

Trigger my own theory on the slump was that having to play a chase and close down style caught up with players legs. Plus the midfield change. I worry that could happen a second time. Although I’ve noticed even when we bring on subs we’re not chasing so much. So maybe we have learned.

DO do we know something those clubs fans don’t?

Tough one to predict tonight. Both teams in not-too-shabby form with 3 wins from their last 6 games. Orient don’t travel too badly either but we’ve been pretty good at home since we exited the slump. A bit worried about this being our 4th game in 9 days can’t fault the effort from the squad but legs must be feeling pretty heavy by now.

Sorry folks.

And we’re back

Did Trigger break the GB?
