**** Leyton Orient FC v Brighton and Hove Albion FC - Official Match Thread ****

[GT49er]

Doom and gloom? No! Just been listening to Radio 5 - all the league 1 results read out as per normal - 3-2, 1-2, etc. - then, 'Leyton Orient have held Gus Poyet's Brighton to a goal-less draw! - that was their headline of the night for league 1.
We're not doing too badly, then...........................................

i won't deney i am dissapointed, but I do think a point is okey, Orient have only lost 1 in their last 13 or so games.

 

[Acker79]

I'm more disappointed about the six teams below us winning than I am about us getting the draw.

 

[BASINGSTOKESEAGULL]

Bloody hell, some of you lot need to get a grip! we are top of the league with 2 games in hand, we don't win one match and you are saying we won't get promoted! talk about being fickle, its not we lost the game.

 

[The French Mistress]

Arsenal,Man u,Chelsea,Bmuff,Peterborough....thats paid for Rovers and Stoke

What ?

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Evening all! Sounded like both sides were suffering from the after-effects of their weekend exertions to be fair. Still, I reckon it's a decent point meself - so chin up folks: there's a long way to go yet.

Never a good thing having unhappy players in the squad .

 

[BensGrandad]

Hope Peterborugh win , which I think they can, plus Orient capable of getting a draw and we are well capable of winning so all is not lost.

AND who are you?

 

[Sheebo]

I'm more disappointed about the six teams below us winning than I am about us getting the draw.

Agreed. Most fans I spoke to said they'd take a point at high flying Orient

Well it's a damned sight better than having a drunk driver/killer of an innocent pedestrian as your star striker.

isnt he Norwich......

 

[BensGrandad]

What ?

Quite simple:

1. Peterborugh can beat Southampton which is what I hope they will do.
2. Orient are capable of getting a point at Bournemouth
3. We are capable and should beat Bristol Rovers.

If that all happens no need to panic.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

isnt he Norwich......

What you mean a dung-raking, 12-fingered, inbred, flat-earth dwelling simpleton?

Yeah, I suppose he could be.

that description is abit to kind for norwich.

 

[Seasider78]

Fair play to orient they pressed us throughout the game and combined with a referee determined to stop the game at any opportunity we found it extremely hard to get into a rhythm. Too many casual passes and giving the ball away cheaply. That said despite our poor showing we comfortably earned a point away to an in form side so put it behind us and onto Saturday
