    ck- got a reaction from Adslegend in Match Thread: Leyton Orient (h)   
    Interesting. First few minutes he got caught in possession, couldn’t seem to get past his man, and couldn’t shield the ball. 
    I found myself sadly reflecting on how our once most promising junior player has seemed increasingly lost as the season has gone by. I was ready to give up on him. 
    And then “something” happened. I’m not totally sure what the “something” was, but something seemed to click. I think it was when he received the ball deep after about 20 minutes and instead of trying to muscle his way past, he shimmied, cut inside and was suddenly in acres of space. From then on I thought he looked dangerous every time he had the ball, and was definitely in the top three players on the pitch. 
    Let’s hope he can build on this.

    Very relaxing afternoon all things considered !
    I can’t decide whether we were very good or Orient we’re just poor. They just didn’t threaten beyond the odd corner.
    We on the other hand were much quicker with the ball at our feet, fewer multiple touches and a lot more instinctive play. Wilson and Sibs looked like they were having a ball. Both of them fearless in taking their men on .. such a contrast to other matches. Sibs looked like Sibs Mark 1  from 2 years ago and hungry as anything. And he CAN tackle !
    Adams and Smith ran the middle, Smith played some hugely intelligent passes when under pressure in the middle, finding an out ball to a white shirt time and again. I think Tommo’s the drive and distraction that Tommo brings was a huge help. Cracking performance. The whole team played as one. 
    I wonder if this match should be called the resurrection of Sonny Bradly. ? Man mountain today, that was a ronseal “Big CB’s “ performance. It must have been me seeing Roy Mac in the pub .. I said it was a sign 😎🐏💪🏼
     
    Very happy

    We could have had 7 or 8 today. Clinical from set pieces, but we squandered so many chances from open play too. Could have had 3 in a single 5 minute spell towards around the 75th minute mark.
    Credit where it's due; Warne will have known he would be absolutely crucified for the Bradley led back 3 call, had we lost, or drawn, so I hope even his fiercest detractors will acknowledge his courage and game strategy today. No way I'd have played Bradley, though IIRC both @Ghost of Clough and @DCFC1388 I think called his selection more or less bang on.
    The stats don't exactly scream it, but we've absolutely battered them today and on B4's birthday too!

    It's telling that you use the words horrible, unsettling and sick to describe your emotions at this point in time - would you rather us be in Bolton's position than ours at this stage in the season?
    You've already started dwelling on an outcome that may not even transpire. 
    I remember driving back from Wembley after Fester had done us thinking the world had ended not knowing that we would get promoted later on with a new stadium too.
    Try and embrace what's happening at the moment, if we don't go up this season then so be it. As I discovered with the playoff defeat against Fester it's not the end of the world.

    I just boil it back down to the fact that we'd much rather be in our position than Bolton's or Peterborough's.
    We know for a fact that 4 wins from here and we're up regardless of anything they do.
    We also have softer fixtures on paper than either of them, with Bolton having Pompey & Peterborough, and Peterborough having Bolton to play and 7 games 21 days.
    We'd have gladly taken this position at most points of the season if offered.
    C'mon Derby, final push.
