Played well and deserved a draw. Great goal by Turns.

I thought we got the ball forward really well at times today, seemed to play with a lot more tempo than in recent games.

A draw that feels like a win, important to keep this little unbeaten run going plus Stevenage losing is a good day for us.

Another great result for us, bonus of Stevenage and Salford losing too, with Carlisle and Northampton drawing.

Yes a good result and a great goal, might as well put Turns up front because Drinnan and Kelman couldn’t score in a brothel🙊

Made all the more annoying today by Harry Smith scoring twice in his debut for Barnet. No-one can tell me he’s worse than either Drinan or Kelman.

So far this season the only disappointment has been the virtual no show from our strikers . Surely sooner or later one of them will start scoring again . Apart from that I'm extremely happy with the way our season is going . Only 15 games to go and it's now feeling like the final run-in has started . We need another big three points against Rochdale on Tuesday night .

His debut was on Tuesday and he scored. So that's 3 in 2

In tinpot NL. Also the squad does seem a happier place since he left. Coincidence?

Tinpot NL, one division below us. Not exactly a huge difference. I’ve also no idea how you’ve worked out the squad happiness rating, do you have inside info? I can’t see how anyone can disagree that both our strikers have been absolute dogshit this season, at least Smith made an effort.

He's coming out from a very frustrating time so has the bit between his teeth . Great start to his Barnet loan spell and I hope it continues for him . Well done Harry .

''might as well put Turns up front '' Funny, seconds ago I was just thinking much the same thoughts !! Yes young Turns does seem like he has an eye for goal, something really lacking in the Os side at present !

I would say there is virtually no difference in standard between the top eight teams in the National League and most teams in League two .

It was tinpot when we had the misfortune to be down there and still is today. Awful league where awful football is played officiated by awful refs.

Last few games the squad are back at the workrate and commitment of before. Just seem more themselves. Could be down to many things though I think Smith finally being moved on has had a positive effect. Given what's out there about his previous issues and the negative attitude he displayed at the start of this season it's one player I was very happy to see leaving Orient.

Smith is a great player in a system built around him.
