Exiles thread - Stockport (A - Play Off semi)

[Jeremy Bentham]

F*cking hell, brilliant stuff.

[Wally Banter]

Well f*** me! Unbelievable fortitude and nerve, particularly with those penalties we took. These players deserve the big occasion at Wembley. Come on you beautiful Os!!

[PoundhillO]

Amazing result tonight.

[Bandy Legs]

As soon as it went to pens I knew it was in the bag

You knicking my aura?

The calm set in, what a strange feeling.

Up the O’s.

Zen takes over, That Bus driver has given us a new superpower

I would like to say I enjoyed that but I am really not sure I did…

[essexfootball]

I was so worried about Abdulai taking his penalty, every single one flawless, stepping back for a second an absolute brilliant play off semi both games

[essexfootball]

Also brown and currie fair play, obviously both nowhere near fit, gave it everything, jack so much he injured himself

Once they missed that chance right at the end of normal time and the same again at the end of ET then I knew it was our day.

Thought Richie got his tactics for the second half of ET spot on to see us through to the pens after a lot of pressure at the start of it

I'm glad for him, a big moment in his Orient career and will give a lot of confidence.

Clip that Currie sprint and hang it in the Hague, that's the grit and passion of football in a nutshell. Give it his everything

You know what. Something weird happened. After they missed that easy chance in the last min (and the one in the last min of normal time) I almost knew it was meant to be ours.

We had the rub of the green in both games but balls of steal to go along with it

100% this

[VeganO]

I'm exhausted, elated & emotional all at the same time. God
We rode our luck but what an incredible effort from our boys - heroes every last one of them. They so deserve the massive day out.
Wemberlee!!!!

[HackneyO]

We always win at edgely park

[Mistadobalina]

F*cking love this club.

[LPE]

Said to my missus when I got in on Saturday that the ball just didn’t bounce for us in that fixture. It was frustrating.

Tonight, it felt it did.

Maybe a wrong was righted.

Whatever. Who cares.

[Mistadobalina]

Stockport absolutely were the better team over two legs. We got away with a lot of dicey moments tonight. But doesn't matter a jot.

Exactly. They deserved to win tonight. But, they didn’t.

I felt confident that we could do it when we went 1st and then James scores and the pressure is now on Stockport to chase our lead.

[RedDwarf 1881]

I can barely believe it . Mid November I thought we could be in for a relegation battle this season and now we're off to Wembley . What we have here is a special group of players and a fantastic manager . I'm absolutely over the moon this evening . Well done Orient , brilliant stuff .

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Decent insight from Jordan Graham. This team know they are gonna get promoted, there’s no doubt in any of their minds

After all the bad luck we've had in the past we deserve some good luck now .

By the way, he’s a natural in front of a camera.

Yeah he did well. Even though he’s not played much he’s clearly bought into Richie and the club

This is key. Going first is so important. Score your first pen and they are instantly under pressure.
