We seem to have a full team of players that are comfortable on the ball , even our cents backs can pass a man and its great to see every player in space and wanting the ball.
I think back to some of the games under Newell , Woods and even Hurst when players hated being given the ball when an opponent was nearby .
Ollies teams are great to watch and yeah theres a few heart in mouth moments but I've never been so happy to have to pay for a TV subscription

Good game, can watch that every week some good football a few decent tackles and a lot of never give up endeavour, We will win some 3-2 and lose some 3-2 will be lots of heart attacks on the way but give me this rather than Jolly/Slade/Hurst any day. No one played badly, Windsor and Harry outstanding.

Quoted from GrimRob
What an atmosphere it would have been. We certainly have a plethora of raw talent, I'd rather have players on the way up every day than 30 something has beens.


It's a big change to have some talented players who look like they are going somewhere rather than bringing in some veteran player looking for a payday to go through the motions week in and week out while managers hope they reproduce their one really good season.

1st half all over them bar one moment of madness when they slipped through early, beautiful pass and move football on display with the adittion of the odd long and cross field ball to keep their defence honest.

2nd half, change of formation Rose comes off and we spend 90% of the game pinned in our own half, concede the ventual goal we could all see coming. Flat midfield and only 1 up top creates zero outlets, lovely pass and move football gone and long balls just land to Orients back 4. Great break by Windsor eventually brought down after 15 yards of fouling and we get away with a win in the end.

Windsor, Clifton or Pollock as my MoM


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Although we defended a lot in the second half, we did hit the woodwork twice. Can't remember Macca making a save in the 2nd half either. Orient huffed and puffed IMO.

Agree with this completely. For all their possession in the second half we still looked dangerous at set pieces (as hitting the woodwork showed) and Macca had nothing to do.

It's been said that we had the run of the green but as far as I saw the ref. was just about spot on on every decision and kept control with firm decisions

I thought he was a tad soft sometimes but I couldn't say he was a bad ref at all, never picked a side let play continue when it could etc etc
