If that didn’t take a deflection that’s one of the best finishes I’ve ever seen at this level

If it’s as bad as it sounds, then yes. But at least Happe is back to cover him.

Wow fantastic performance, O’s make history
Great result, 6 goals away from home
New signing Azeem Abdulai Hatrick
Now sitting in 6th in playoffs with a game in hand
Stockport in 5th next
COYO’s
But 2 worrying injuries
Beckles hamstring looked bad
Clare groin hope is not too bad
And Keeley was limping
Hope Markanday was just a tactical sub at HT

Donley has made us into the attacking team that Wellens has always threatened but never quite delivered on until now. We're doing the same pressing and passing as ever, but now have a no.10 who can cut open sides once we've moved the ball quickly into the final 3rd. The assist for the second goal is outrageous - there is barely an angle or a second to notice Abdulai, and he picks him out perfectly.

Abdulai is a hell of a steal on early showings. Will Ling get credit for that one?

Yes Donley has been great but we’ve stepped things up attacking wise with Markandy and Abdulai. They are way above anyone else we’ve played out wide all season (Agyei excluded).
