2 minutes to go

[i8ubutler]

All over.
Decent result I suppose against top of the league.
Thought we could have won it in the first half though.

[Stan1972]

Well played O’s, very good performance
Unbeaten L1 run extends to 4 games
Need to follow up 2 draws v Pboro & Wrexham with a win v Exeter on Tues.
COYO’s
In RW we trust

[PoundhillO]

We played very well, 2 points lost today.

[cymruO]

Unbeaten run continues, a good point against the leaders but --- 'so near' Kelman should have scored and that early goal might have made for a very different game. Well done O's you're a good side.

[Sid Bishop]

We played very well, 2 points lost today.

With the players we have available, a very good result.
Lets face it, we just cannot compete with the money available to spend on players with the likes of Wrexham and Birmingham and a few others besides.
This season is all about surviving and being able to keep in this division.

Wonder if Ruel would have scored some of these chances ?

No

Indeed, would've miscontrolled the ball and / or tried to bundle through 4 players instead

[cymruO]

Ruel subbed today - has he scored a L1 goal yet?

I am more of an optimist, having just missed out on the play offs last year my expectations are play offs as a minimum.

[Jeanluc]

Thought much of our football today was very slick - pretty to watch but ineffective in the final 1/3rd. Had Kelman scored the early goal it could easily have proved to be the winner. Big improvements in certain players - Tom James, Jamie Donley and Z Hemmings. Matched them all over the park. An enjoyable 0-0.

[RedDwarf 1881]

A well earned point today against one of the best sides in League One . I'm very pleased with that and with the performance. In fact I thought we were the better side until about the last twenty minutes when they started putting us under some pressure . The only down side about today was the injuries to Sean Clare and Brandon Cooper . I would say both look virtually certain to miss the next couple of games .

Exactly .

[Hoover Attack]

I’m not having they’re one of the best sides in the division. They were physically capable all over the pitch, know how to fight, but no flair whatsoever. Probably what you’d expect from a Parkinson side, to be honest.

I don’t think we needed to be as cautious as we were with 5 at the back. Having Simpson pushing up to make the extra man - almost as a left winger - was such a waste.

We’re definitely in with a shout of the play offs. This squad is easily good enough for that.

[RedDwarf 1881]

Ruel subbed today - has he scored a L1 goal yet?

No

Yes . He scored one against Barnsley a couple of weeks ago

On current form we're better than an 18th placed side .

[essexfootball]

Agreed the problem is though, need to win games, we are mistakes and a goalscorer away I think from being a playoff team and serious contenders, no-one has really blown me away but that's 2 points out of 6 last two from both winnable games

Yes he did apologies

When we changed our shape/played wingers as wing backs they completely overloaded us.

Agree that no way are they one of the best in the league. They looked absolutely awful for 60 mins and average for the rest

[faith1234]

Yes qe do need to win games but no Dan up front and play on the wing is bad for bissness

Yes, Kelman should have tucked that chance away. Bad miss. It was a strikers dream opening on goal.

I very much doubt it. But we'll never know will we.

A blind man could have scored that, he has to go. We played them off the park until we had to make changes. We lost our continuity. Spot on by Wellens with his formation. Wrexham will be lucky to be top six, if they are so sill we. Don’t care how much work Kelman puts in his finishing is shocking and the keeper still worries me.
