Never watched the game or heard any commentary.
Match stats though suggests that there was not much between the teams.
Stats can be deceiving...

He’s no saviour, but let’s just hope he is a very lucky boy!

We competed well in the first half and there was much more attacking intent than previous games. Orient always looked a better side than us and I never really felt at any time that we would get anything out of the game. We lack the quality of midfielders that Orient had.

One who might have made a difference in centre midfield might have been Gotts, but he was lost on the left. Kay offered some hope when he came on. White also looked ok.

Put on that first half performance at home next week, with Kay and White in the team, and I think we will get a win.

Since Quigley left we don,t seem to have found a suitable replacement.We played a lot of good football in the first half but yet again we couldn,t score.The second half we just lost our momentum and were chasing balls all over the place.
If we are to stay up we have to start scoring.

If we do go down the only person to blame is Cooper for the scandalous performances at home !

You wouldn't blame any of the players who have been nothing more than half-arsed for 90% of the season???

Very very poor second half, against a very poor side who didn't really offer a lot.

Possibly the most worrying 45 mins of the season for me. Completely disjointed and devoid of any sort of game plan. Really really poor stuff.

And Paul Farman is dreadful.

You're right but he was involved in recruitment and tactics playing only 1 forward at home or is that OK in your eyes because you're in a minority there !

Plenty of people should carry blame, but now is not the time. We have a hope of staying in this league our destiny is still ultimately in our own hands. There will be a time to discuss who, what, why, where, and when once we have kicked the last ball and hopefully accomplished league survival. We need to support what we have back them to the hilt until then.

Exactly. Cooper- became easier to blame for many because he was unpopular. I always felt he said it as it was. If we go down it is because we have the most ineffective strikeforce I’ve ever known. Go and have a painful scroll back at the results to see the last time any of our strikers scored a winning goal.

First half good game to watch between two evenly matched teams.
Second half was poor from the first whistle.
I'm afraid Canavan looked pretty dire and Hutton was pretty dire. Gotta was out of position and looked like a boy in a man's game. Not having the Holloway slating - thought he played well throughout.
Take positives- first half was good!
Final point - the idiot that went over the barrier into the orient fans at half time looking for a scrap - hope your head hurts after the whooping you got, don't come again.

Cooper is obviously to blame for some shocking signings, but it just seems strange that you would give some absolutely gutless players a free pass. Nobody really comes out of this season with any credit.

We need Browny back ASAP. Hutton has cost us goals on a number of occasions this season. Browny has his limitations but boy can he defend and not afraid to put his body on the line.
