It was an easy 2-0 in the end. Some of the Orient players didn’t seem to want the ball. Would be very disappointed if I was an Orient fan.

Banks was exactly the same in the reverse fixture. He only stopped off the balling our players when he could hear the lower west stand signalling to watch him to the linesman. Easily the dirtiest visiting player out of the majority of home games that I've watched.

I don't know if Clough is a good man manager, coach or both. Some of the players he has chosen to work with have improved significantly though. Hewitt and McLaughlin as RB and LB for example I had written off. McLaughlin has to be up there with the best in the division at the moment.

That Port Vale game was a turning point for us. We’ve been good since that game. I agree with Adam though. We probably can finish in the play-offs but it’ll be less likely without a good transfer window. We need more quality in a number of positions. On last night’s game, both goals we...

I thought McKirdy was hilarious. Waxy as anything, a terrible ponytail and exceptionally mouthy. That persona would make a good television villain. I would cast Michael Sheen in that role

You are allowed to leave university right-wing you know.

The vaccines have helped break the link between contracting Covid and hospitalisation but it doesn't seem to be reducing how transmissible the virus is. It wasn't that long ago that cases were running around 50,000 per day. Today 106,000 were recorded. If Omicron doubles again I don't find it...

The point for me with the way the cases are surging, it's going to lead to many hospitalisations very quickly, irrespective of how many people as a percentage of positive cases actually get hospitalised. If you can delay the spread and flatten the curve, that's not as many folk in hospital at...

Agreed. We need more bodies. A few injuries or suspensions and we end up with Hawkins in defence and a bench of unprovens. I am not as worried by the defence or team now as I was earlier in the season but to be honest I'd still hope we'd get first team quality players for 4 or 5 positions in...

I thought the first half an hour they were bullying and outnumbering us. We had no grip of the game in midfield. It was a bit rubbish from their point of view to not get a second goal and to then concede two soft ones. We didn't really offer anything to score our goals. We did have the best...

6 pts but we've deserved probably two. The two goals we got against Salford today were very soft. They were otherwise the better team.

Agreed, we were great for a short time and looked like we might blow them away, but then our game dropped and we were very lucky, despite battling hard. Carlisle hit the bar twice (I think - once when Bishop was back pedalling but didn't see it clearly) and their corners were very good. Playing...

Well done to him. That's a terrible statistic. Surely at some point in his previous (according to Wiki) 286 appearances he would score. You don't even need to be good, I'm convinced with that many appearances at least once you would be in the correct position even accidentally and could just...

Scunthorpe had a great chance to make it 0-2. Had they scored we'd have more than likely lost the game. However, they didn't and from that moment on we just seemed to power our way through and won the game. If you were a Scunthorpe fan you'd have to be worried because they seemed very lightweight.

I agree about Danny Whitaker. Based on the limited amount that I saw it didn't seem that he had that much confidence. Probably still finding his feet but he needs to assert his boundaries with Savage. I also couldn't believe how little match preparation there was. I don't what I was expecting at...

There is a thing about Macclesfield with Robbie Savage in it as Director of Football on BBC iPlayer. Only an hour and Savage behind the scenes is very David Brent.

So striking a player IS a red card now? In August you said it wasn't

I felt Mansfield played well enough and had enough opportunities to be disappointed at not getting a 2-1 win. We still have glaring weaknesses. We need him in defence but the front line without Hawkins is very lightweight. The defence still makes me nervous and we still have no pace whatsoever...

The scoreline of Mansfield 0-0 Oldham accurately reflected the game. Both teams offered next to nothing but neither deserved to lose. Our attacking lacked enthusiasm. Our achilles is high balls which we can't defend. After that, we have no pace whatsoever. We have scored a few but I don't...

It's very difficult. The defence is so poor. That thing with Elliott Hewitt for example heading it back and the Barrow player pouncing on it to get Rawson sent off can't be solved easily. It's unlucky but mostly a real lack of quality that leads to the goal. However, I must also question what is...
