Scarlett understandably dead on his feet. Need to bring Oyekunle on for the last 15 mins….

Might struggle with that one given he's not on the bench

A good away point.

Well done, It's

A very good point
Well done Os

Decent draw.

WELL DONE ORIENT!!!

Unbeaten away, roll on Reading.

Solid defensive performance. Don't love how little we actually tried to push for a goal and we don't have the forwards to go long like we did today, but aside from a hairy couple of minutes after the subs, Bradford didn't really create much.

Excellent away point - well done O's particularly the backs. Concerning that our forwards were very ineffective but the unbeaten away record continues.

The Tactical Genius that is VACUUM !

Terrible spectacle, one shot on target in the entire game (I don't remember it) good point.

Awful, awful game, Bradford booed off. Well done to everyone.

Forrester absolutely immense, Stevens also really good.

Well done, good point

Gilchrist looks useful

Fantastic defensive display
Gilchrist was Solid as anyone
Forrester had a Tough 1st half
but dealt with everything well
2 full backs were really decent .

All round a Deserved hard earned
Point away to the 2nd placed side
before kick off

A scrappy ugly game that won't live long in the memory. A point gained and shows the commitment and effort in the group.

That said got to create more and win some home games else 1pt on the road isn't enough to keep us going.

Think HA is all to aware he’s not on the bench
A point is being made ffs

I'll take the point, but as an attacking force we were terrible.

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

FfS , The alias isn't even funny

Thought Scarlett was very good. Ran hard all game until the end when he was knackered. Some intelligent touches against an excellent defensive opposition. Kabia didn’t look as good wide left but feels like that will be Connolly’s spot as he gets back to fitness.

Bradford 0 shots on target to Orients 1 ,
both from 9 shots at goal !

I’m pleased RW changed things. It didn’t all work out. Kabia struggled on the left. Scarlett did ok. Morris played well and Gilchrist looks a player to me. Hopefully we can build from that performance.

I'm happy enough with that point today . I reckon Plymouth and Bradford will win automatic promotion this season so a draw will do me fine . Not many teams will come away from Bradford this season with anything

Good point thought we would lose 2 or 3 0 today

So did I so I will take that draw with both hands . I only wish our home form could improve because at the moment we seem better away .

That would be my take although I think any 2 of 6 or 7 could go up automatically. We're not part of that group but could be playoff challengers if Aaron can get fit & hit some form & we improve significantly at home.
