After reading some of the above posts I have revised our position from mid table,to lower mid table and if things don’t get sorted soon,we maybe looking over our shoulder at the drop

Since the last day of last season the while thing has been an utter shambles. We're miles off challenging for automatic promotion.

Squad lacking in quality and depth. The manager needs some help

The last time I went to Orient was in August 2010, just after Stanno, died. We were appallingly bad and went on to finish the highest we'd ever been at the end of the season.

Better to be sh&te now and have time to put it it right.

5 2 3 sucks btw

Exactly. At the start of the 2016/17 season we lost our first 7 league games at home, our worst ever start at home. We were bottom in December and we ended up getting to the Play-off final. Most people on here remember that situation which is why I'm so surprised by the total meltdown after two games and after a decent performance last Saturday. Despite todays disappointing result and the fact we are 20th, get a point on Tuesday and win next Saturday and we'll be near halfway. Today is a day to be disappointed not suicidal!

Got any ideas yourself or are just awaiting instructions?

Well said. Its all very well to ridicule those who are pressing the panic button but the warning signs have been there pretty much since the Exodus started just after the season ended. Despite my pessimism about this season , I never thought that we would actually look that inept.. I feel completely empty after watching that - only 2 games in and we look like serious relegation fodder. I just can't believe it.

Is someone else controlling MT's budget too tightly ?

I doubt it. I think perhaps MT just doesn't come across well to prospective players. Footballers are a strange breed they need to feel loved.

Sparkes out with a fractured collar bone.

We seem to be becoming the most injury prone club in the league.

I've always felt 10 games in and the table settles and you can see how the rest of the season might go, Not after two games. I also think what MT said in April was probably not the best thing, He raised our expectations and has backtracked on that last week a bit so the fans are feeling slightly peved off, When tomorrow's here and someone starts the Barrow thread we'll be forgetting today, That's how it should be.

For the people who are saying we are hitting the panic button and it’s all too negative, give this article a read. Read it and compare to what we have now and what we are seeing on the pitch.

A huge dose of the usual hysteria on Exeweb as per usual after a defeat. Interesting we have conceded less than we had after two league games last year and got the same amount of points. Too early to call how our season is going to pan out.

Thank Christ for the Winkleigh Cider Fair tonight to avoid the Exeweb Snowflake Suicide Squad on here tonight. A 3-0 defeat is depressing enough but reading you lot wanting to hang yourselves without even a slight look in the other direction, no thanks. We all know the squad is a bit thin depth, that's a given, and it's been vulgarly highlighted in todays result and performance. But look at the four players we're missing. All of them would certainly be regulars in the match day squad and three of them are almost certain starters. That's a fair kick in the b0!!0cks for any side to take. The pressure is on Taylor to get in some real quality to breach the gaps, particularly where Collins should be, but he still has a couple of weeks to do something about it. Is it right to be p!$$ed off and annoyed about todays result? Yes. Is it right to want to want to jump off Exminster motorway bridge whilst righting off this season? Behave yourselves. There has been far worse at City to get that depressed about. The trouble is some of you are barely old enough to remember us getting relegated to The Conference never mind the ultimate dirge of the mid 80's.

Did you watch the game?
