Bit peeved about their goal, I thought it at the time and upon watching the replays Rowe definitely kicks the ball onto an Oldham players leg before it goes out. Then we get a weak clearance from Bedeau and surely Howard should be doing better, the ball went nowhere near the corner of the net.

Apart from that I didn’t think we did too bad, can’t remember another real chance that Oldham created and was nice to actually see us finishing a game strongly which hasn’t happened very often in recent seasons.

For a big man Loft needs to learn how to control and hold up a football…so frustrating to watch. Clarke probably my MOTM.

As long as Cox continues to improve I’m happy. We’ve accumulated more points than we did last season having played 3 games less and with a much lower budget, so we’re definitely moving in the right direction.

That being said, if this is the pinnacle of what’s to come going forwards and into next season then I’d be happy to see him gone.

[BigLeftToe]

On his day can win a game from absolutely nowhere (Port Vale away this season springs to mind). But…clearly wants to leave, has looked completely lost out on the pitch lately and I think with more game time we have a talent in Devarn Green.

Probably our strongest side considering the injuries. Tough that three of our better players are vying for the same two central midfield berths!

[BigLeftToe]

What a strange move! Still banging them in at League 1 level. Must be the lure of a 3 year deal.

[BigLeftToe]

You heard that sort of thing being said about us after a game this season? I haven’t.

Cox with his usual post-match bluster…”they’re a good team and passed the ball well.” No Neil, they’re piss poor and had scored a whopping 3 goals in 10 matches before today’s game. Why do we act like we’re up against Barcelona every week!?

The one on Kev was a pen for me, so too the one on Spence. Yes Spence was clearly looking for it but anywhere else on the pitch it’s a foul and we’ve had more than one of those given against us this season.

If Gilliead wasn’t brought down he was 1-on-1 with an out-rushing keeper. No chance the covering defender on the far side would have gotten anywhere near him…clear goal scoring opportunity…red card.

[BigLeftToe]

Not sure what Hallam does in training but in games he’s shown absolutely nothing to be worthy of a starting spot, especially with Lewis “The Engine” Spence sat on the bench. Glad he was taken off when he was.

Ref crap today. How he didn’t award a penalty or send someone off I’ll never know.

We were pretty crap too. Showed a very poor Orient far too much respect, especially in the first half. Every time they had the ball it was immediately 10 men behind the ball applying zero pressure allowing Orient to pretty do what they wanted. Second half was better but overall it was boring to watch…again.

[BigLeftToe]

Hopefully it won’t go on too much longer…they only justify the means if we’re happy being a bottom 7 club in the Football League.

Newey said it and I 100% agree…Gilliead is the only player we have who can keep possession and play intelligent football when under pressure. Nobody else is good enough to do it, the best they can do is play the ball backwards to a player who then immediately hoofs it forward.

BS – very generous marks there. I’d struggle to give anyone higher than a 5.

So so bad. We’ve got nothing.

I’ll take another point gladly against such a good side and our well documented injury concerns. We haven’t drawn many this season, maybe tonight they will be like buses and come in pairs. 1-1 sounds ok to me and no more bloody injuries.

Just goes to show how dramatic our fall has been when we think a point at home against a team 8th in League 2 is a good result.

[BigLeftToe]

Definitely seems a bit off at the minute, understandable given the injuries. But that discussion with Eisa about the penalty shouldn’t be happening on the pitch, the penalty taker is obviously decided long before the game so it shouldn’t even be up for discussion.

Clearly sulking when he got substituted too.

[BigLeftToe]

These last few away games have really made me appreciate Mike White and Tom Newey!

[BigLeftToe]

Stonewall penalty, no doubt about it.

Spence MOM by a country mile. Hippolyte played well too. Clarke definitely a better centre half than fullback these days.

Draw would be a very decent result, but we either win or lose so it’ll be a loss today.

[BigLeftToe]

Must be a generational thing…on the @sufcofficial Instagram post the overwhelming majority of comments are lapping up shirt no.4!

[BigLeftToe]

You’re not wrong there Dutch, it was very tough to watch. In the words of our manager “we got absolutely battered…scored one goal and won the game by luck.”

[BigLeftToe]

I agree with BS’s rating for Clarke…he was truly awful!

Complete smash and grab tonight but I’ll take that any day of the week against top of the league away from home.

[BigLeftToe]

There’s a “settings” icon in the bottom right corner of the screen (on a laptop anyway). Just select it, then “audio”, then “home” and you’ll have the Cambridge commentary.

[BigLeftToe]

1 goal and 3 assists in 31 games this season…shouldn’t be too difficult.

[BigLeftToe]

Agree with Ferrite, he’s lightning quick for his size and needs to be played in behind defences more often. Not sure a player who has probably had at least 10 games with a 3/10 rating can be considered POTY though…he was truly awful for a large part of this season. Manny all day every day for me so far!

[BigLeftToe]

We just don’t have the quality of players to be able to keep possession of the ball for long periods of the game. We’d rather sit back and look to hit teams on the counter.

33 games this season and we’ve only had 50% or higher possession in 9 of those (27% of games).

[BigLeftToe]

Shocking ref, even worse commentary, but we didn’t really deserve anything from the game.

[BigLeftToe]

So much for the Beeb being impartial, just a bunch of Bolton fanboys!

[BigLeftToe]

Bloody hell this Bolton commentary team is awful…literally shouting over each other!

[BigLeftToe]

I’d like to see more balls put in behind defences for Loft to run on to…he’s lightning quick for his size! Bolton were a tidy team when they came here but we’ve improved massively since then so I’m hoping for at least a draw.

[BigLeftToe]

We’ve already won more games this season than we did last having played 10 games less! I know last season was pretty rubbish but that isn’t bad going considering the squad was probably a lot stronger.

[BigLeftToe]

We were poor today…but we scored 3 quality goals. That’ll do me!
