We have done quite well. Should have been more than 2-0.

How much is a pint of Hansa in Bergen ?

2-1 weak challenge in the box by Happe after ball comes in for a free kick. This time ball hits the post and goes in. Game on?

Bugger.
2 - 1

That was really poor from the O's. Also, Clay needs to wind his neck in.

Hope it’s not now going to be panic station time!!!

McAnuff returns, on for Dayton. Wise move before the latter loses his head with some of these challenges flying in.

Jobi on

Widdowson and Angol on for JMD and Johnson

Finally a bit of variation in the subs getting Widdowson in natural defensive position. Hope we can hold it this time.

4 mins stoppage time

How has McAnuff looked in the short time he has been on?

Fit & sharp.

Well done Orient.

Happe our best player, but Jobi was excellent as well.

Phew !
All over.

No matter how well we play we always seem to be hanging on at the end.

Calmness personified, retains the ball so well it makes a big difference. Leadership to calm those around him too.

Were we actually hanging on/under consistent pressure though?

Nice one O’s!

In other words a lot of what we've missed this season.

Good win and to see long term injured getting some minutes in

Not really. One good save from Vigouroux in injury time and a couple of dodgily-defended set pieces. Cambridge offered bugger-all from open play all game to be honest. Entire game plan revolved around diving for free kicks.

Comfortable w8n against a mediocre side

Basically yes. A dilemma if he stays fit until end of the season. Do you give another year contract on big wage given his age and possibility of injury recurring or accept the gamble for his intelligence and quality. Tough call.

Mediocre is generous. Very poor side. How did Adeboyejo get a move to a Championship side, looked a real carthorse.
