  • The ball was never over the line when it came back off the bar, but it was never a foul on the keeper.
    I thought Berry did kick the Goalkeeper's knee when he tried to get the lose ball - Completely accidental, rather than done with intent

    We're a second half of the second half team?

    4th quarter
    Never understood why people leave with 5 minutes to go. We should start doing season tickets from 85 mins onwards. 
  • We are having some luck in finding space in the wider areas for crosses but no height in the box. 
  • Needing a target man in the middle. Cross after cross, and Cooper and REG and dealing ok so far. Give them an extra threat to worry about. 
    No idea who to take off to enable that, because otherwise things are working pretty well in the build up.
  • Maybe give Gilbert a bit longer this time?
  • Need to anticipate the crosses better, both attacking and defending. 
  • Clearly the better side, without creating a ton of clear chances . The best chance came from the near own goal from Pratters

    Everyone looks like they are up for this, strange, but can't justify any subs on the first half performance, but can see Gilbert and Leaburn getting on at some stage second half

  • All the performance is missing so far is a goal!!

    Lets see how Orient do as the game drags on after their injuries and the fact they had to face Birmingham with ten men for a long time on Tuesday
    Orient will be pumped for this game despite the tiredness of their match vs Brum. However if we can keep them out to the 80th then we should see us break through after that.

  • All that needs to be said is we are well on top and with a better final ball or pass would be winning.

    Provided we don't gift them a goal this is there for the taking.
  • We've been the better team, but haven't made that count. A few to many instances of poor decision making on our part. Sort that out and we should be OK. Can't take anything for granted though, expect The O's to be a bit better in the second half.

    Stevie Wonder must be responsible for those possession stats!
  • I don't recall REG being that strong in the air. Miles or Chuks against him should be interesting 
  • Generally looking good.  Ramsay looking a bit slow if I'm honest, not quite his usual self.  Anderson playing well other than the brief glimpse of the "old" version. 

    Orient definitely good on the break, but thankfully they aren't getting many.

    Apparently total accurate passes is 93 Orient and 89 Charlton

    BUT

    In the opposition half it’s 40-57 and in the final third it’s 15-34.
  • Orient have played much more football than us of late. Let’s hope they really fade 2nd half

  • This game is made for Leaburn 
  • Quick start to the second half, like what we got treated to up at Blackpool, whilst keeping a comfortable clean sheet would do for me
  • Most have done ok, so should keep at it and fingers crossed we’ll get the breakthrough. Having said that, hopefully Ramsay improves in the second half. Not his usual high quality so far.

    Should have made sure vaccinations were up to date before travelling to the Orient!

    BUT it's still 0-0. Stats mean nothing.
  • Right lads keep it tight for the few minutes!!

    Stockport 1-1 Blackpool
  • Pratley with a cheeky free kick against Anderson
  • Orient started much brighter this half
  • I'd be happy with a point but all 3 would be nice. 
  • 5 or 10 minutes of pressure to weather here before they start to tire again I reckon.
