Kelman would fancy it today with the chances being created, need to have a good second half to give him the opportunity

On this showing by Drinan, he will not be playing 2nd half.
Kelman will be on!

Mansfield winning again !

Kelman on for Drinan
Injury, hope Drinan is ok, but pleased Kelman is on!

Why not use Ruel as a striker and bring Smyth or Moncur instead?

Bet Richie praises Drinan at the end in his interview. Drinan can do no wrong as far as Richie's concerned

He’s trying to build him up. Must be lacking confidence. Has been terrible in recent weeks. RW knows that too.

Good thing for O’s we have strong bench, Smyth & Moncur to come on and improve team in 2nd half.
Crawley are poor, we should be winning this one!

We will be better in the 2nd half.

Playing well but got to score. Shake 'em up Richie!

Managers do have soft spots for players and Drinnan and Ruel are definitely RW.

Drinan does all the hard work closing players down and getting into good positions but not the striker's instinct to finish them off. Missing pre-season has only exacerbated that unfortunately.

Northampton 1-2 down at home to Grimsby with seconds to go.

Grimsby win 1-2 -- yah !

We are dominant again but need that goal!
Especially with how results are looking again, all going our way again!

Theo has had a good half and his FB is on a yellow, so expect Theo to see a lot of the ball in 2nd half.
Sadlier needs to see more of the ball as he is class.
Ruel needs to do more, or he will be replaced by Smyth.

COYO’s we need to score early in 2nd half.
Crawley are 2bob.

Big 3 points on offer if we can get this bloody goal!

Did Mooney bring his boots !

Missing pre-season. Really? That was over 6 months ago!

Reckon he could play any position on the pitch - possible excepting goalkeeper!

Currently 18 points clear of 4th. Scarcely believable…
