3 wins in 4 for monotone Matt. 1.56 PPG. Equals a very respectable 71 points over a season.
We’ve got our rovers back.

Very interesting read. Particularly of note that they are streets ahead of us as a footballing side. |

The usual waffle, they’re amazing, we are a poor side and were very lucky😄 Could fill the Thames with they tears 😄😄 Delusional? A fair reflection of the average football fan's psyche? |

We dug in and don t get bullied anymore, lots of good performances, but Jed ward made two cracking saves at the end.
We look more organised on set pieces, had enough corners to defend yesterday!
Great 3 points, need to finish the season strongly, as opposed to last year when form fell off the cliff!

Any chance you can find out who he votes for, views on world politics and if he likes Cus D’Amato?!…….week by week it’s becomes more evident we were hijacked by a bellend with his mate Jennings 1.56 PPG with a team he inherited 👏👍 |

Agree, we've seen this first hand over and over again. Being the better footballing team is really little consolation after a defeat. Perhaps trying to justify a moral victory that results in 0 progress. |

No recruitment department but managed to sign a diamond from Sierra Leone who will go for big money. Not sure what books he reads or if he’s mates with some ex prem players though. |

I have a feeling conteh won t be here for long, reminds me of Kante never wastes the ball, can turn out of trouble, great engine and loves a tackle, People can laugh but I think we ll sell him for in excess of 5 mill, he is that good. |

Let’s hope Taylor fit to start on Saturday
Hoole in at right back
Or do we go 3 at the back to find a space for Finley?

Lewis Gordon seems to be dividing opinions. I really want the lad to do well. I love his effort and his enthusiam as shown when he was in the away end at a game earlier in the season singing with the gasheads. However, I cannot at the moment get my head to come to the conclusion that he is a League One standard player. Was watching him closely yesterday. I thought that he was terrible when switched to right back. Was always trying to favour his left side and foot and put the team in trouble often when players got past him on the outside. I would of thought that if he had ambitions in the game he would have worked a lot harder to make his right foot better. Was better later in the game when going back to the left side and although he did well in the middle third of the pitch, he was hesitant when he got forward and his defending and ability to stop crosses still need working on. His effort though could not be faulted and he was out on his feet at the end. Flash is young, has potential and is probably relatively cheap! I said before, Flash at age 24/25 will be more experienced, streetwise and stronger than the current player. Definitely worth a contract IMO. Plus, for the people who moan about how few of our players having songs, well.....he has two! If he does well Flash aaaahaa, if he does badly there's a bit of Jilted John! |

Wilson getting involved and sent off for violent conduct takes the edge of what was a fantastic performance and result. He really should know better, especially with Hunt injured again and others just coming back from injury, getting banned for three games is idiotic and just provides more defensive selection headaches for Taylor People are unloading on Wilson, but did anyone actually see what he was supposed to have done? The ref clearly couldn't have seen anything and the only official on that side was the linesman 60 yards away. No reaction from the Orient players before the ref gave the red card and Orient very happy to dive all afternoon.
If he has given the lad a dig, I'd agree it was stupid, but noone that was at the game seems to know why he was sent off.
EDIT: Just watched the highlights again and their player couldn't work out whether his leg or stomach was injured as he rolled around. NO reaction from the Orient players that you might have expected if there was any violent conduct. I just hope there is some video shot from the other side that can get the red card rescinded.
The Orient players had gone down like that a couple of times previous to the sending off, it's cheating, maybe it's part of thier game plan? Petty shirt pulls, shoves looking for a reaction. The ref should of stamped it out earlier. |

His effort though could not be faulted and he was out on his feet at the end. Gordon is another where people have their opinion and it affects their judgement. Footmob give him a 7.7 and Taylor said this. I know whose opinion I trust! "Really pleased," Taylor exclaimed when asked about Gordon's contribution and the impact that early substitution ended up having on proceedings. "Pleased with the way that worked. We had a decision to make in relation to possibly Josh Grant in one of the full-back positions but I just felt that Harvey would be able to take us back up the pitch and Flash, his game is a one v one game regardless of whether he’s left or right. It also meant that we could get to a five when we needed to get there. "He’s grown in confidence over the last few games I think. He’s another who has come from a period injured and we’re trying to build his game. I think there’s more to come from him from what I’ve seen. More personality, more strength and speed. But when so many players have missed so much of the season, it’s so hard for him during the season but he’ll only getting better if he keeps playing like that. "Some of their one v one play is absolutely outstanding and from watching their previous games, they really overload wide areas so for him to come out one v one in those moments was so important and then also LT in the second half needs a special mention." |

Perhaps trying to justify a moral victory that results in 0 progress. Exactly this, Orient are where we were, playing all the football but getting nothing. We are evolving in our style, you can see Matt wants clean sheets, and being hard to beat. You only need to look at the teams towards the top, they don't always play football but can win ugly and dig out results. |

I’m pretty sure last season was his first season in professional football. |

Just the angle of the photo. He flicked the ball over Vale with a high foot. No contact at all and not overly dangerous but we got the free kick for the high foot. |

Claremont Gas, You must hate Wilson to give him a 3. Nobody in that squad today deserved less than a 6.They battled from beginning to end to restrict a good side on form to very very few actual chances and for the first time in god knows how long we didnt really look like conceding despite a ridiculous amount of corners conceded. Every player put their body on the line for the team. i think Wilson has had a couple of bad performances since he was injured but today was definitely not one of them. A silly sending off maybe but it could easily have been anybody with that referee. Steve... You are right i do dislike him but had he stayed on the pitch I would probably have given him a solid 6 ... He is a Senior Pro , knew we would likely be without Hunt for a few weeks , we are under the cosh with 10 minutes or so to go and he gets needlessly sent off ! KC literally had his shirt ripped off his back but you don't see him throw his arms about.... Orient were spiteful all game - tackles were nasty at times but we still get the man sent off . |

What exactly did Wilson do to get a straight red card? I’ve not seen any footage of the incident as it wasn’t picked up on iFollow. |
