1st vs 4th very early thread

Sounds like fine margins but two mistakes from the young lad making he's debut. Pretty sure that's the away record gone now.

Beaten by the better side from the sounds of it, apparently we didn't play badly but not enough threat up top and two mistakes from the rookie wing back. Bit of a dodgy decision for pen apparently but even still would have been 1-0 so no complaints

Excellent result for us. I am now a believer (if we can sort out depth).

Yeah no complaints really, Orient sounded fairly comfortable. Fair play to the fans that went though, even at the end they were still singing

It was a very very hard fought game, Rovers had a few chances in the second half but didn't take them - The one from the Lee Brown free kick really should've been scored, but overall I thought we deserved the win and could've scored more at the start of the second half. Last 15mins as expected the losing side throws everything at you, but overall IMO we defended very well.

The penalty was a bit of a tough one for the ref to call, but the full back I thought went through McCallum first before he got the ball, but will have to see it again to be sure.

From our perspective Simpson took his goal really well and his workrate after that was superb for the team.

Rovers worked very hard but lacked quality in front of goal I thought, Monakana put in a few very good crosses second half, but no one was around to be on the end of them.

I think you have highlighted what could be our season. If we had a 20 goal striker, we could be up there this season competing but feel this will let us down and a mistake finish will be on the cards. Which I'll be happy with to be honest

 

[South Bristol Gas]

I agree Gassy

 

[TheGas]

Probably our second worst performance of the season. Mixture between not pressing enough in the first half and good football from Orient. We deserved to lose 100% but the ref was woeful. Probably for both sides to be honest

Can't believe Jay Simpson has ended up in league 2, surely far too good for that level?

Don't get carried away - we've only played sides who are below us in the table so far.

Yes, he is. He was part of the problem, rather than the solution last season, though. Never once fully fit.
