Just leaving Leyton on the train to Epping to pick up the car for home. 4 hours kip last night and a 5am start sometimes you wonder why you do it. But a few beers in the pub, a lovely chat with an old Orient fan (Grandad and his Grandson good on them for sticking with a lower league club) another ground ticked off and the life feels good tonight.
I thought they deserved a draw, an old school cup tie blood and thunder, they fought and used their muscle and the referee allowed it. They created a fantastic atmosphere and all credit to them. When Marmoush was hacked down id love to see one just one city player run to the fucker that done it and got on their face instead of holding our arms out to the referee for protection. We are desperately missing some steel in the team.
I thought O'Reily and Mcatee failed to grab a chance, but it shouldn't be their one and only chance. We struggled the first half being typically slow and then stretched them in the second and found the gaps. I'm not convinced Pep has found the antidote yet, we're misfiring and it's been a long run and I'm failing to see any turnaround and progress. Take the win and hope we find some form but right now I can't wait for the end of May.
