I never post on here but in sunny Florida today my neighbor came over to see if I was ok as I was shouting and crying from the 4-3 goal to full time… so so happy that the character was there… I repeat good teams have great character… we have shown it several times this season…. In our hands now!

I was very worried that Retro day meant we had to play like we did in the early 2000s and the first half we did. Glad Richie told them at HT to "F*** Retro Day".

Donley voted Man of the Match? He improved a lot second half (as did they all) but surely it was a choice between Kelman and Galbraith. No matter though, just thrilled with that comeback

Not sure I've ever seen a game like that. Or see a keeper be such a pr*ck and have it come back on them that quickly.

Game changed on a Richie sub tbh. We were losing midfield and rather than wait he was decisive. Getting Clare on helped us get further up the pitch and we won those battles.

Started dancing and cupping his ears at the south stand after the 3rd Barnsley goal, generally giving it the big one despite no real needle up until that point. 'Cramped' early on in the second half.

Don't mind the panto part of football but if you give it, have to take it. He's young so hopefully learnt a valuable lesson in picking your moments to be a villain.

Just back. Can’t remember a game like that. Nearest it gets is Chelsea in the Cup in (was it) February 1972 and 3-3 following Lockwoods hat-trick vs the Gills.

We still believe.

Although I thought we were outplayed for the first 20 minutes I think justice was served today. . Barnsley's first two goals looked very suspect to me . The first one I thought Keeley was fouled and the second was offside . Their third goal was legit . Very proud of our players the way we fought back to get the win . I would've taken the 3-3 but when we scored our fourth me and my son went berserk. Fantastic comeback which puts us right on course for the playoffs . We haven't achieved anything yet so now focus now on Cambridge Monday and hopefully another 3 points . Anyway well done Orient . Fantastic result .
Just to add I think that was one of the best games of the season

Brown played a blinder IMO. He’s an unsung hero in this team.

I'm inclined to say "stop it" but once we dispose of Wrexham in the Semis and Charlton in the Final it will be; Hello The Championship for us.

Got to agree, think Prats legs have slowed him right down. Can still run but very 1 paced. Brown really helped build the pressure with some of his passing.

We always beat Wrexham when we win the playoffs
