We've lost out mojo and i'm not sure why.

Vs Peterborough - 2 shots on target - www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25994504

Vs Rotherham - 2 shots on target - www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25891930

Vs Coventry - 6 shots on target - www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25821869

Vs Crewe - 5 shots on target - www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25692619

Vs Carlisle - 7 shots on target - www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25599665

Vs Shrewsbury - 5 shots on target - www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25556231

Average 4.5 shots on target per game.

Brentford average 6.5 shots on target per game.

Wolves average 7.1 shots on target per game.

For me it's just not clicking upfront at the minute. That's the second game on the spin that the opposition goalie hasn't really had a save to make.

As someone said on another thread it seems that Orient has been found out now. Always happens in a season and If Russell Slade can't change his tactics to combat this Orient will struggle from now on.

If the opposition pack the midfield and close down Orient wingers than Orient are stifled. Slade needs to sort it out and sort it out quick or I can see another T###mere coming

I don't think its because moons and liss haven't played together for the last 6 weeks, strikers play of other players and for me its got to be our service from our central midfield and wingers that's not been up to scratch,for a while now ,sometimes we need to play the easy option, what we don't always do,get the right service to our strikers and they will do the rest .

it simple really match the opponents in midfield,sort your runners out not only on the wings but someone to get forward from central midfield .break the play up and sometimes a little chip over the top gets all midfields and defenders in a panic,ffs its not rocket science ,

Our main game plan is to hit the strikers, hold the ball up, then bring the midfield into play. For the last few weeks the strikers haven't been able to hold the ball up consistently. Lisbie and Mooney's partnership is really strong and the ball is more likely to stick with the two of them playing together.

my point is its ok saying,bomb the ball forward to our strikers,to try and hold the ball up ,but it don't always work out that way,whitch has been the main problem in the last few weeks, our strikers need to work closer to the midfield so it gives a chance for a runner from midfield to join in the play ,opposing defenders find it hard to play against runners from midfield as well, I do agree liss and moons partnership is strong,get back to basics sort this out ,and the goals will flow again .
