I would imagine Wednesday are about as well insulated against it as you can get. Even if you tear it all down to a bunch of academy guys and not a lot else they’ve got a significant baseline of support and attendance that have already proven that they’ll show at this level, well beyond what we could...

Had a great game where everything fell for him. It’s good to know it’s in the locker but he’s been found out since. Breda should be sharing time with Yiadom and Ahmed should be cover when one is injured. Big lad but too easily dominated. Seemingly terrified to take his man on. Decent defensively bu...

Sheffield United for me. The matches between 2002-2007 were box office stuff. Our record against them matches our wider fortunes. When we were good, we beat them all the time. Then in 2017, after a few seasons apart, they started beating us consistently and we've been shit ever since. Smashed them ...

Don’t know if it’s true but overheard someone at the Mansfield game talk about how they had seen O’Connor the week before outside a ground and he had told them that in coming back from his initial calf injury he had tweaked the other one.

I think Lane has a spark but is played too high and central, and has no faith in the headless chicken that is Jacob running around behind him. Ahmed won’t take anyone on which is frustrating. Burns has his balls-up but was so busy distributing, he’a getting better. Savage had flashes of his old self...

Soap in the Dolan today!

I perhaps get a bit overly attached to good goalkeepers. Most of my ‘gutted they’re leaving’ moments have been over them.

Hahnemann, Federici, McCarthy, so the last one that was a real a gut wrench was Ali Al-Habsi. Helps he was an affable chap too.

Fevrier has been giving Jacob the business since he came on.

That Burns tackle was…agricultural

What a pass from Savage!

Hound . I just see him a useful sub for 20 mins to cause a bit of havoc

I’d imagine something like this is the plan once Ritchie is up to full match fitness.

Burns imperious for the last 20

García’s been great.

Frazier to CB?

Let’s hope this is gamesmanship for Williams rather than a shagged hammy.

Sounds like Orient comfortably the better team before the goal, but games ebb and flow. Need to build upon this now and put in a strong performance. Maybe with a win and confidence, we won't start every game like rabbits in headlights and need Pereira's fake injury timeout. Again, I certainly would...

Bit rough for Wellens to get a yellow and Ahmed not. Not arguing, but I’d not be happy if I were an O’s fan.
