Bradford really is a shitehole but glad I came. Was a decent battling performance today. Should’ve been down to 10 men though really.

It’s now reached the stage where the most important part of the match is when the team is announced and whether Nepoboy is gonna play

No one to carry the ball forward, no passing the ball forwards, just 60 yards hit and hope punts.

We got really lucky today, but this can't go on, it's an awful watch
Exactly. Just another grim sounding display. What a thoroughly unattractive side we are..

So our away form has deserted us! That said I'm happy with a point.

Good that he didn’t start but what was the point of him being there wasting a spot on the bench. Oyekunle was the obvious choice given Dane and Jaze both started.

Bradford 0 shots on target to Orients 1 ,
both from 9 shots at goal !
I can't remember the last time we restricted the opposition to 0 shots on target and to do it away to Bradford is impressive but it won't count for much unless we repeat that defensive intensity against Blackpool.

Play around with the ball too much - moan.

Go direct instead - moan.

You're just looking at it as a one off result. On the face of it, yes, a good result getting a point against a side second in the table and away from home. But I'm looking at the bigger picture as to where we are going, and at the moment that's nowhere.By and large we have been serving up dross where for the majority of games it seems like the hardest thing in the world to even get a shot on target, never mind scoring a goal. If you think we are going somewhere with these drab displays, and because of the point today, then you are just deluding yourself. The players are quite good but the team isn't.

Even after a good battling display today you can't let it rest .
Maybe try coming and supporting our team rather than cumming in your pants about Richie or Trump or whoever.

I support Leyton Orient. Not whoever is temporarily employed by us.

Pleased with a point at Bradford. Brave performance.
But concerned that we tend to lose out on 50/50 challenges and frustrated that Jusuf can't bring his skills to bare.

Given where the team is - the results and recent performances - that was the only way we were going to get something today.

What matters now is the next game and how we build upon this good result. Listen to Richie’s interview, he explains what they’ve been doing all week.

Some fans are never happy Dwarfy,
It was a decent battling performance and it’s one that we could easily have lost but we restricted them to one good chance and fortunately they hit the bar. That apart Baxter didn’t have too much to do, I think the priority now is a couple of good home wins.

Thanks Chesthunto . It's just that after what we've been through i'm grateful for what we have now . We're Orient not Barcelona , we're always going to lose a fair amount of games so to get a hard fought draw yesterday to a team predicted win promotion this season is very pleasing .

Are you sure you were in Bradford? It is a fantastic city with stunning architecture. There are 4,000 listed buildings.

You’ve obviously only been to the centre then. Tbf I always cheat at Bradford away as my mates sister lives there so we stay at hers. It’s not nice I can assure you

Not sure where I said I wasn’t happy with yesterdays result. Maybe it was a decent battling away performance precisely because we had 11 functional players on the pitch
