    It really wasn’t. We were comfortable throughout.
    Err, see the smiley face.

    I'm not sure I agree with that.

    I wasn't comfortable when that deflected shot flew only inches wide (from my angle I thought it had gone in) or when Orient hit the crossbar. Nor when they broke away or got in promising positions.

    Credit the defence for keeping a clean sheet but they had to be on it to achieve that.

    I've just released we don't need to play in the EFL Trophy next year!
    Hope it does well in the charts 😊
    Not with that title, try something short and snappy like 'Tiger Feet' shit song but it worked for Mud.
  • Well a solid defense wins you games. Our midfield not great today, Orient controlled the midfield but our defense
    did every thing you could want, and the marshalled the rest of the team well, so they could defend in packs. I will give mention to Godden, had little chance upfront but got back and defended well.
    I feel that Orient played the better football until they came up against our organized defenders.
  • What a result ! What a day ! To the Championship all the way ! Goodbye League one. Forgive me if I say I never want to see you again !  Looking forward to some top notch games at the Valley next season. Although we will need a serious squad revamp to make any sort of impact. First season back I’ll settle for mid table mediocrity !

    Playing better football in your own half does not win games.

    Alright

  • Great day. TC thanks for everything but you're not up to the championship. May see big changes prior to next season COYR.

  • Yeah Gilbert today left a lot to be desired, there's definitely a player in there but he seems to have a poor engine and struggles to get back unless he's already in a defensive position. We looked much better at closing from the front when Anderson came on.

    Chuks unlucky not to score but was too tight and angle. 

    Coventry had a poor first half, better second half when everyone slowed down a bit. 

    All in all I felt they played the better football but we showed more desire. 
  • PWR just back home. Amazing day and season. Exhausted and god knows how the players feel. Happy days COYA

    Was it Mud or Sweet that did Tiger Feet?
  • We weren't lucky, their closest shots came from our blocks deflecting the ball. We weren't comfortable, but I wouldn't say we looked uncomfortable.

    Thierry and Campbell both forgot to turn up for me.

    I am surprised how many comments about Orient the better team, we were lucky etc. We set out to win by having a better defence and some talent up front. Our midfield has been our weak point all season so we largely go  over them. We press the other side into mistakes.
    Some fans may not like this so there is a team they can support in the 3rd Division next season called Leyton Orient. Have fun.
    The rest of us will be watching Charlton succeed on the Championship.
    Cheers.
    One season.Enjoy.
