I left the game wondering how Michel saved that. From where I was it almost looked like he had to twist his whole body around and dive to the floor just to stop it. He went mental after we got that 2nd goal. Ran over to us and started punching the air. I don't think Kuipers put a foot wrong today. A couple of fantastic saves and his distribution was good (although a few kicks did end up straight in the hands of Orient's keeper) but he can't be blamed for that as it seemed our tactic was either throw it out to the Right Wing or Hoof up as far as you can to Savage/Forster.

What a complete cock he was. Didn't have much time for their 2nd goal scorer either. Was giving it all when he scored but was no where to be seen when we equalised for the 2nd time. Bunch of mugs the lot of them.

Ahhh so it was Paul Terry who gave it all that was it?Funny....his family seem such a friendly bunch.

The big posts in our stand were annoying as I had to stretch my neck to see the goal nearest to us. When the ball came across for the save at the end I was unable to see anything so I just looked at their fans. The reactions were priceless!
 


Great game? Great performance? I think not! For an hour, we didn't have a f***ing clue. In the first half, we looked non-league and must have been an embarrassment on tv. For me, the game totally changed when Robinson came on. He was bloody brilliant today, and played a HUGE part in getting that point. From being a team with no ideas, pace, or imagination, we suddenly looked full of running and got in behind them several times. In the end, the last half an hour was a great performance, and we could very easily have won, but on the balance of the WHOLE game, you have to say Orient were worth a point.

No, no I don't.

Watching all the way in Aberystwyth, I thought we were shocking in the first half - Looked like the sort of team we were last season. 2nd half was a lot better, but I think a draw was a fair result.

All I could hear all game was the Albion fans, top effort!

Disagree with the badger. Bar the goals and the save in the 93rd minute, orient created nothing, the wole game. In contrast we scored two, hit the bar twice through George and jake, had a perfectly good goal chalked off, and Hammond was desperately unlucky at the end.

They deserved nothing.

So that fact they were better than us for an hour doesn't mean they were worth a point over the whole game? Strange logic. Ok, we absolutely murdered them in the last half an hour, but we were rubbish up until then. The way we finished the game, as I said, we could so easily have won, but after 60 minutes of turd I'm not complaining at a point. Looking back, it's frustrating because their defence was so frail and we only really took advantage for a fraction of the game. Had we gone out properly, we could have had 5 today.

They didn't exactly murder us did they! For all the possesion they had in that hour, they created about one shot on target and very rarely threatened Kuipers. When we had our time we forced their keeper into a couple of good stops and hit the bar, not to mention the goal we actually scored aswell!

Martin Ling on BBC London said they scored two great goals and we got two cheap ones and thought they should have won.

No mention of the possession statistics which must have been 70% Albion, and how we f***ing battered them for most of the second half.

Top class day out though made all the better by the superb away support. Give yourselves a big hand. :ascarf:

50/50 possession apparently.

I'm not claiming they did murder us, am I? Personally, I thought Orient were very poor. They're certainly not a team that should be anywhere near 3rd in the table. But, we were shit for an hour, and they were the better of two poor sides. Hey, I'm not trying to claim they deserved to win! I'm just saying it was not a "great performance," or whatever else anyone was claiming.

Would agree with that,certainly didn't think we were capable of one goal,let alone two!

Did anyone see that Netherlands flag at the back with 'Former Dutch Marine' on the three stripes?Anyone know who's this is? Probably the best flag I've ever seen! :bowdown:
