A nice 3 or 4-0 win would be good, confidence builder and should guarantee our status.
The concern is our home form continues but our away form does not. Entirely possible.We have 6 games, 3 home, 3 away.
Because it's a big empty stadium with the only atmosphere being created by the grunting home fan's disillusioned farts. It's hardly a breeding ground for success.

Definitely now casting an eye over Fridays fixtures. Hoping that a few results go our way.
Agreed. At least last season you could put in a bunker mentality. I imagine the players feel like the fans at home.
Something needs doing. Not sure how you can use our current situation as a motivator.
Tbf I did notice numerous times tonight that when we recycled the ball or kept possession by going backwards, lots of negative noises coming from the crowd.
Along with a lot of idiotic cliché shouts such as 'get it forward' when there are no options in front of the player. Or 'who's that to' when the ball is lumped forward as previously requested.
Its also entirely possible our current poor home form does not continue.
We're gonna have to get at least one home win I think, we have Colchester, Oldham and Crewe left. All winnable fixture, we're gonna have to win at least 1. If you right off the Bristol City then we have Notts County and Crawley away to pick up another 3 points in.
Sorry I don't buy that. Of course you are going to get grunting home fans if you are not performing at home.
I am sick of this excuse. The facts are it is the players and the teams duty to entertain the fans then maybe you won't be getting all this grunting.
Looking at our league position coming towards the end of the season is not exactly something to cheer about. if we were in a better position for playoffs and playing better I guarantee the atmosphere would be different.
Please no more excuses regarding our home form.

It's not the only reason for poor home results but it's a very big one. Yes, better football would bring in more fans but at the moment in a League One relegation scrap that just isn't going to happen. Away teams love playing at the Ricoh for a reason and it's not down to how Coventry City play.
Just got back from the game. I am fuming and yet again we found a way to lose the game. Orient are dog shit and they still won. If we don't win we should be drawing and I am blaming a fair pinch at mowbrays door. I like him as much as anyone but he got it wrong tonight in that he brought Thomas who was beyond useless on instead on turgott and went for the win when we should of played tight and drawn the game 0-0. Yes we can't win the game doing that but we can't lose it in the way we did 1-0 as they hit us when we pushed up. So sorry I blame TM he should of made is a poor game and finished 0-0 which tbf orient only came for.
We lost a non lose game and I'm fuming. I'm joining glen fuck it.
Well i too questioned Mowbray's judgement when he brought Thomas on. Don't quite know what he was thinking there. Surely Turgott would have been a more natural replacement.
The pitch has some nice new circular design.......
Yeo, struggling for positives from tonight.
Burge lacked confidence although he did pull off one decent save. Kicking poor again.
Back four struggled. Willis is no RB. He's a CB and it should stay that way while Phillips is available. Martin looked nervy again. So inconsistsnt it's unreal. But definitely one who plays the 'coventry way'. Pennington is decent but can't do it On His own. Stokes was poor going forward but had little or no support for much of the 90.
Ward MOTM for me. Obrien is a bit of a headless chicken. Only way to describe him. But strangely despite him not being in one place, did seem to be our biggest threat for most of the match. Flwck was poor. Wasn't his night tonight.
Nouble poor. Looked disinterested. Another one who is annoyingly inconsistent!!
Shame about Samuel. Agree that once he went off we sunday forgot what to do! That said, I think he was taken out as Orient knew he'd be a threat. Very tactical and went unnoticed by the ref
Thomas ran about but we seemed reluctant to use him. Should have been subbed in the second half as looked to be tiring.
Odeluzi was poor. His first touch was woeful, although he did put in some good defensive challenges.
Other subs came on too late to judge, although Haynes appears to have forgotten what a footballer does! Couldn't trap wind!
If we're in agreement that Turgott is a winger not a striker, then Thomas was the natural replacement. That said, Thomas was ineffective, although got into some nice positions but often was overlooked by his team mates.

Which begs the question, why was Thomas even on the bench? No-one else available?Well i too questioned Mowbray's judgement when he brought Thomas on. Don't quite know what he was thinking there. Surely Turgott would have been a more natural replacement.
Thomas played CAM when he came on. The correct thing to do was to either keep Jim at CAM and put Turgott on the left, shifting Nouble up front, or bring Barton on at CAM and move Jim wide left.
We were let down by the so called senior players, had a bit of bad luck admittedly but the likes of Nouble, O'Brien, Fleck and Martin just petered away when it mattered. Still from the last 2 games we have 3 points and lets be honest had we got 2 draws a lot would be saying that ain't too bad, just need to get something now from Notts County.
Still in our hands especially looking at the fixtures and who plays each other, we need Johnson back and I would just shore up the defence and not lose at county do that and not lose again at home we will be okay....I think
Should have won despite all of that
