Switched over to the left, Jones half clear, ball pings about on the edge of our box, Orient slightly loose pass and Godden shows good awareness to nip in and intercept so we can clear
Head tennis in our half, now Edwards to TC, good strength, Doc over Small, inside to Gilbert but he spoons a shot over the bar from just outside the box
HT 1-0, Slow start, and Orient had us on our heels, but we gained momentum as the half progressed, great FK from Macca gave us a lead, more of the same second half lads, and this will be all sewn up..
Decent 45mins, has felt fairly even but we've looked more dangerous going forward, shame that no one gambled on Godden's pass right at the end as that was nailed on 2-0!!
Need to ensure Orient dont come out like how they finished the first half - But great strike from Macca, predicted both a goal, and it being him when we got that Free Kick
Need Campbell to get into the game. Small is starting to get there, but Tyreece just seems to be off. But happy to be in the lead at the half
He's got the measure of them too, just needs the confidence to take it past, as feels Small vs Currie is a very even match up so far... Had that one moment where he finally got in, and decided to shoot from a tight angle instead of trying to find the pass
Horrible to watch but we're in front. Need to maintain grip on midfield and Agwei and that's game done. Won't be easy and we should note Shef Utd we're in front at half time yesterday and lost.. COYA!
Its the Orient counter attack that has been most problematic so far this afternoon, but they'll hopefully find that harder as we can now counter them as they get more and more desperate.
That became clearer as the half ended, started seeing a lot more space for Godden, who deserves a huge shout out for tracking back and getting that interception as they really threatened
Doesnt bode well that against a decent full back Campbell is completely ineffective, Grimmer last week, Grabilath now, going up a level the full backs arent going to get any easier

Galbraith isn't even a Full-Back, Campbell is getting doubled up on and he's not getting any support as we cant leave the left exposed.

I'll get stick for this (and have done for the last month and a half when I've trotted it out mid-match) but ...
Charlton have scored the first goal on 24 occasions in the league this season (including play-off semi-final) and are unbeaten with 23 wins and one draw.
Orient might as well go home now and have the rest of their Sunday back 😉

And a 3rd.
Defence staying strong. They are the key.

Great noise from the Charlton fans, very poor from the Orient fans, not a song from them.
