39' Big opportunity for the O's.
Hector Kyprianou does well to get to the by-line and squares the ball to Louis Dennis, who couldn't convert from close range.

Maddison has made a few very nice touches and played some lovely through balls
Looking a little sharper to me, and has played a few lovely balls. Even his short one to Matthews on the overlap earlier in the game was nicely weighted and at a lovely angle for him to run into.
Not sure Bows is going to be impressed with his work rate though.
Bows told him he needed to be at the Valley for the Papa John’s and he’s currently thinking this isn’t what he had in mind.
41' Wright tries his luck.
A nice little interchange between Thomas and Wright resulted in the Orient midfielder shooting from distance, which didnt trouble the goalkeeper.

I think he might be a very frustrating player to watch. Tries to many flicks, backs out of challenges, and not everything he does comes off. But when he does get to right it can totally break open a game.

Yeah need to realise he's not going to be a duracell runner like what we're getting from the likes of Washington
Whether Bowyer is happy with that is another matter
Not bothering with the stream tonight, but just spotted on twitter that Aouachria scored on his debut, which is lovely to see after him being out injured for so long.
You missed out on the Pizza, Ali ?
Nice sentiment for Wassim.
No pizza, at least not from Papa Johns, for reasons that are far too tedious to go into (although possibly not as tedious as the litany of pizza puns on the CAFC twitter feed)
Someone on twitter asking if this is like the Champions League and the team that finishes third in the group goes into another tournament, like the Nandos Cup?
Solid enough first half that, though I would say Orient were probably better side.
Morgan has been the best player on the pitch by a mile for me. Vennings a little anonymous sadly.
Strangely enough I'm actually enjoying this!
Agree with your comments except the bit about Vennings. Thought he was having a decent game and certainly looks the part. And young Henry, despite a couple of bad passes, doesn't look out of place either.

For me our midfield is being overrun, hence why Orient have had 60% of possession. If Levitt had put in Henry's performance I feel like he would be getting pelters.
That being said, I do agree with you, and certainly no one out there does not look like they should be on the pitch.
do yellow card in this completion count towards the total with regard to suspensions?
I believe yellow cards only count in the competition they are given in.
We saw with Ben Watson, that at the time of his first 5 games, his 5th yellow card of the season was in the Pizza Trophy, and didn't count in the League - so he wasn't suspended.
He didn't let us down, though - in his next League match he was yellow carded (5th card in the League) and duly suspended.

Imagine how disappointed he’d have been if it was at some crappy stadium, like Selhurst for example.
