Ok last home game and and soooooo important, what do we think? I don't think RW is going to hold back and play to take just a one goal lead to Stockport, so:

3-1 to the Os

Kelman, Williams, O'Neill

Announced attendance 8970

6 yellows

3-0 Stockport

Nervous start, we take a one goal advantage up north.

I’m not sure taking a lead up there is a good thing - you can see it affecting the players mindset and how they play the game.

Last two seasons we have played them, all four games have been away wins ..... just saying!

So, we let S win by 1 on Saturday, and we win by 2 on Wednesday. Sorted.

No f*cking clue. I don’t think we’ll hold back but I’d imagine Stockport will set up to get a draw so might be tough for us to break them down.
0-0. I’ll take it

Just realised in our 4 playoff appearances we’ve never won the first leg of any semis. And always made the final

Maybe you’d expect two good, in-form sides to cancel each other out. I’ll go for a very tight 1-1.

I wasn’t nervous for the Huddersfield game but I am for this one . I think it’s going to be a 1-1 draw with the second game possibly going to penalty’s

0-1 Defeat

2-0 Os. 3-0 Os at Stockpot.

1989 - beat Scarboro at home in the first leg, lost away.

They made it really difficult for us to break them down in the most recent game. And they'll know that we're very dangerous on the counter (especially if going with 5-3-2 again). So yeah, could see them being slightly cautious, which doesn't really help us.

I fancy us more away when they have to come at us.

1-1.

0-0 draw

1-0 Kelman. Again.

Exactly this. They’ll know what we’re like and they’ll be very defensive, and it’ll be a really tight game. Hopefully we’ll get a draw or a 1-0 win but I think that’s the best we can hope for.

I’m much more confident about the away game tbh. If it’s close they’ll have to come at us, and they’ve seen what we can do. We seem to play with less pressure away from home, and we’ve already put 4 past them at their place this season.

1-0 tomorrow, 3-1 on Wednesday.

We are the form team
We are formidable at home
We are dangerous on counter
We are deadly with our finishing
We are solid at the back
We are Leyton Orient
We have super RW
We will win 2-0

In RW we trust
