Westcarr has genuinely made them ill. He is that good.

He's tracking back....... 2min and Leyton Orient have a corner, conceded by Craig Westcarr! :shock:

He's all over the place.... 7min, and Craig Westcarr has a shot on target, saved in the top left-hand corner of the goal...

25 mins in. Nthings happened other than Lalkovic being winded. He looks like the only attacking threat at the moment.

1-0 Orient, failed to stop a cross from the right. Poor defending.

Lazy, disjointed mess of a performance so far. Playing a half-fit and sub-strength Orient team who are there for the taking, but we've somehow managed to look even less interested than them. Our pass completion rate must be somewhere near 2%. Sole tactic is to hoof it up aerially to Lalkovic who, if the ball doesn't just run out for a goal kick, will then run directly down the alley marked 'dead end'. Still winnable put our performance will need to be approximately 4,000 times better in the second half.

I would agree on the messy bit, it was just starting to click and build up pressure before their goal though. Always the way.

Our play always ends up with a crap long range effort.

The offside trap is worrying for me, we're going to get caught out eventually if we continue to overuse it. If they go two up, we might as well bow out.

Similar to many home performances (I don't get away), much the better footballing side, without the cutting edge up front. If by some miracle, we'd retained last season's front line, we'd be on top of the table.

I can't remember a match that I'm less enthused to watch. Both sets of players don't seem to be bothered, there is no atmosphere whatsoever and the crowd must be less than 3,000.

On the basis of this evidence, the FA Cup has really had it. Something else to blame the Premiership for.

So we draw against a full strength Orient team with only ten men and we lose against a reserve strength Orient team, with no manager on the sidelines and we play with 11 men? Thats walsall for you!

Disgusting tackle from Mooney!
