What is it with Salford and late goals

[Beradogs]

Maybe it’s my bias but they seem to have done that a lot in last few weeks. We were basically a few minutes away from winning the league as a loss next week would still see us champions if winning the last game. Now, a loss next week and it could be completely out of our hands. Massive moment for them. So annoying.

Class coming off of the bench.I see Green scored.

The Man Utd effect rubbing off on them, also big squad with well rested players to go the distance.

When people say spending big doesn't make a difference... they're wrong.

Spot on.

Nothing to do with Manchester United. Was that a serious suggestion?

[Disoriented]

That is what money buys - posturing fools like Teague take note.

Looks like it buys a two point deficit to me.

Half serious, with the Class of 92 running the place they'll definitely instill that never say die attitude.

But money, mainly money. Had we spent out on a decent combative CM I reckon that would've been worth another 3 points over course of the season at very least in the scrappy games we dropped points at.

I think having that sort of strength in depth certainly helps.

Incidentally, on a separate note, we also scored a late goal today, the previous game and two weeks ago and nobody seems to have commented on reasons for that.

Have to say the Sutton one was the kind of lucky break you don't normally associate with Orient, all down to the keeper losing the plot if we're being brutally honest.

We do have players with a great engine on them such as Bonne, Brophy, Clay etc which makes a difference. The fitness conditioning plays its part there. Just as well given how much we rely on our core players.

I don't think we can moan about late goals really, can we?

[Long slender neck]

Theyve been up against teams with nothing to play for.

The same teams that bust a gut against us!! Just saying

Good teams have a habit of scoring late and also getting the rub of the green. Man Utd were much the same in season 1998/99.

[RedDwarf 1881]

Whatever happens , whether automatic or via the play offs I fully expect Salford to win promotion this season . Their financial muscle makes them too strong for this league . I would also expect them to go well in League Two as well.

[Still's Carenae]

I did not quite believe this so I checked the stats for the last 15 minutes.

Salford scored 13 conceded 8.
Solihull 19 and 11
O's 19 and 7

Draw your own conclusions.

Form last 10
Salford w9 d1 l0
O's w7 d2 l1
Solihul w6 d2 l2

And there I was thinking you had changed. You are so wrong and if you saved me an O-nut you can stuff it. Any suggestions as to where?

[Smendrick Feaselberg]

From the match report it seems Borehamwood were going for the winner and Salford then scored against the run of play.

Yep. And as said elsewhere performances don't matter in the last few games. Only results.

[BIGRON]

Salford played till the end and scored , we did the same at Sutton , life goes on , roll on monday

[cinnamonuk1971]

Sign of a quality team with excellent togetherness and team spirit and find a way to win...

We see it over again when the man city’s Liverpool’s Arsenal’s etc are losing to an inferior team and find a way to win...

The same could be said of the O’s this season too!

[Proposition Joe]

In fairness, Boreham Wood's penalty to bring it back to 1-2 was a joke. If that'd been given against us we'd be wild.

[CreamofSumYungGai]

Where have you seen that?

[OyinbO]

Orient win again, and are within a hair's breadth of winning the league, yet some of the bedwetting over a late goal for Salford is a sight to behold.
