  • I definitely think they'll be lower mid-table at best next season unless they can work wonders in the loan market again.

    They scored 75 goals in the league and play offs. 40 of them scored by players who won't be there next season. That's a lot to replace. 
  • If the teams/performances were reversed in that game, I am sure we would have been just as negative about them on here. Would be lots of comments about ‘I wouldn’t want to watch that type of defensive football all season’

    but it was OUR defensive masterclass and they wouldn’t have benefit of seeing the rest of the season and understanding we just did the job we had to do.

    In their defense, I would have been absolutely livid with that ridiculous delay from the ref had we been 1-0 down.
    I was livid at 1-0 up. Levels of stress went through the roof thinking about injury time. I guessed 13 mins, so thankfully 11 wasn't too bad.

    Cosmic punishment for Boxing Day '23. I fucking walked there and all
    Apart from the football it was a great day meeting you though.

    Oh it was yes, I loved that part! The football itself though...

    Yep, I was cursing the ref on the match thread, but at least we had the commentators explaining what the hell was going on.

    That extra 10 mins or so of extra stress and anxiety sent me into overdrive. Was an absolute wreck by the time the clock hit 100 minutes.
    Pure elation when the whistle went. I grabbed the stranger next to me., and nearly broke his arm in the excitement. Then turned to my mate and went even madder. Once things had died down a bit apologised to the stranger on the left. He took it well thankfully. Was about twice the size of me 😄.
    All that stress turned to adrenaline. Amazing day.

    Can't explain how I felt in that 100th minute. It all felt too good to be true and I was waiting for the sucker punch. 

    When that whistle went 5 years of misery left my system. I really hope it wasn't all for nothing and we just stay here now. I'd hate to do it all again.
    I was nervous but had this weird sense of calm for most of the match once the goal went in. My son said I looked like a nervous wreck all game  🤣

    Spent about 5 minutes asking everyone around us if they knew what was going on. Mate had sky app on his mobile and worked out the ref had the comms issue.
    Ironic really poor comms over a Comms issue 😄

    It was ridiculous the lack of updates for those of us in the ground. I found out what was going on by checking Louis Mendez on Twitter!

  • Was quite surreal really, because it happened at such an important time in the game. Funiest bit on the pitch, aside from the ref sprinting off to trap 1 as Jac mentioned was Docherty playing footie with one of the Orient players. I expect to either keep the muscles moving or out of boredom. Not something I expected to see when they are rivals for a day and found it amusing how when the action stops all the rivalry drops down. Then a whistle later off they went again.

    They say this but he blatantly just needed a shit.
    That thought crossed my mind, right up there with Paula Radcliffe's effort.

    I was feeling stressed at the time too, but at the same time, I figured that with the 90 minutes running out, the situation benefited us.
    Usually, when 90 minutes is up, there’s the added boost for the losing side when they see 4 or 5 minutes go up. Orient didn’t get that boost. We all knew it would be a big number, so 11 minutes was no surprise and we knew exactly how long we’d need to hold out.
