Was fantastic 1st half. They could not get the ball off him. Does he need to get fitter as he came off early 2nd half

He's like a juggernaut through defences, trouble is the ball gets under his feet and ends up running past the ball.

I was surprised he was taken off though as won't be starting on Tuesday night.

Him and Perkins obviously both told to work their arses off until they dropped then would be subbed.

By far and away the best gam all of our front 3 have ever had in Orient shirts.

Not just the ability on the ball from Perkins and DJ - we’ve seen glimpses of that already - but the desire, energy, physicality and above all discipline.

Yeah, for a big unit that's possibly the first time DJ has used his obvious physicality quite so well. He was excellent.

Perkins too - he made the goal by knocking someone off the ball, something weve hardly seen from him so far.

Kelman was phenomenal. Just worked and worked.

Can’t wait until he hits 15 for the season to keep the naysayers quiet. Has had a superb season.

I agree . As for DJ I thought he was terrific but he's got to keep that going .

Think DJ could be the closest thing we get to a big CF in time. He’s probably our best player at holding the ball.
I don’t know his natural body shape but he still looks a bit overweight to me but he’s got potential to give us something the other wingers don’t

Looks such a tricky player to play against. I like him, although I like every Os player at the moment.

DJ was outstanding yesterday
We have to get that sort of standard every match from him.

Exactly . You look at our squad at the moment and we don't have any bad players . They are all good along with an extremely good manager. That's why I think we're in for a very exciting end to the season .

we all finally can see what richie has seen all along, if he can get fully fit he can be a very good league 1 player
