They are honestly playing more of a first team than us. first half we set up really well, just been undone by the fact that they are a premiership team with premiership players who can do something quality out of nowhere. No shame in that. They have several starters tonight who were bought for 3-4x out annual budget.

DJ is the new Moncur.

Obeiro is wasted on the wing
Jayesmi was such an odd signing

Jaiyesimi really makes some questionable decisions on the football pitch and none of them are in relation to picking the right pass/shot

Fans of all his previous clubs said he was useless. Strange signing as you say.

So much more energy in the side after those subs. Night and day

Is Simpson on a yellow? How did he not get a second?

Kelman should squared it.

If kelman comes wide, there is no one in the box

Probably not a surprise that Simpson is a bit of a thicko.

Just as we were coming back into the game. Stupid boy.

Richie praised him when he signed.

What a div bag.

Shouldn’t have made subs. We can only get players injured. This game is over unfortunately

Sweeney has been awful

It could have been worse and it could have been better. I enjoyed the first 30. minutes.

Stockport on Saturday will be a tougher test than this.

COME ON ORIENT!!!

RW should have played a much stronger side - we might have a chance of winning it
Not sure why he didn't - we were playing a good Prem side?

The players who featured all worked hard, we looked like a good L1 side at times - but the red card finished the contest.

I thought we did ok against very good opposition. Some good performances in there. Ball, Warrington look good to me. Keeper not at fault for goals and did ok. The peripheral players probably haven’t done enough to stake a claim. Bring on Saturday.

This season will be all about getting to 50 points...

I’m ok with the result but don’t understand the starting line up.

I hope we made some money from our 3 matches

Seemed pointless winning two games, one very good one at Millwall to put out such a limp side

Thought Donley looked useful.

RW’s brief this season is to keep us up, hence keeping best players fresh for Saturday.

I understand the need to rotate the squad but there's a bit of a 'what if?' feeling about tonight, once Kelman and Galbraith came on we were all over them. They might have been there for the taking.

I agree. Our starting eleven from Saturday would have certainly pushed them.

Clearly a game Wellens didn't want to win.
