That should settle the nerves of the players and the supporters. It's looking more and more likely that we won't be playing that particular local derby next year.
Fantastic result. Doesn't matter how we play. One aim. Thanks to Powell and all the squad. Another great, winning weekend, feeling. Looking forward to Oldham, gonna order my Carlisle tickets monday. WE ARE GOING UP!
One of the most inept refereeing performances I have ever seen. He was pathetic.
Yep, can't wait to (hopefully) leave these joke officials behind next season. Should have been 3 up by 15 mins with Cort's goal and BWP's pen that wasn't.
Worst case scenario for me now is Sheff Utd overhauling us for top spot. Will they ? Well that's now up to us. If we have the bottle and are good enough they won't. If they do then fair play. Wednesday are 8 behind with a 15 goal difference to turn around. Can't see them as a worry now. COYR
I'm assuming Yann has upset the ref in the past as apparently jumping whilst a defender has both arms wrapped around you is a foul. He gave a foul against Yann atleast 8-9 times in the first half alone.

It would be a shame not to win the league after having led it since last autumn, but for me it's about promotion, anything else is a bonus.
That said the message should be simple, just win the next couple of matches and make any question of being caught up by Sheffield United academic.
Written before reading the rest. We started really well, despite it seems the ref not deciding much in our favour. However the ref rightly let a quickly taken free kick slide down our left hand side for Waggy to nip in and score a birthday goal from close range. Orient were not great and despite the ref we were doing well. BUT The ref disallowed a possible pen when BWP was pushed, and disallowed a thumping Cort header for handball....'scuse me, but there was no booking, and I didn't see the handball. Need to see again. This was a turning point in the match when we dropped off the pace, they got more into the match, and we all got nervous. As the game progressed it was highly ironic that they had five booked. Early in the second hald Rahubka made an absolutely stunning double save (earlier I think Hamer made a good save down that end too), and we got all tense and nervous which affected our play. However good work down the left, and a cross from a deep position led to a rocketing header from Danny N'G which the keeper must have cacked himself about as it hurtled his way. 2-0 much relief, and we saw the game out well. I thought Cort was good, but once again Solly was excellent overall and I would give my MoM to him. Decent crowd....and we won with a clean sheet kicking the wrong way.

;o)
Thanks Red for commentary.
(theirs is, erm...... 0)
And Hudds away to Orient on Tuesday.
Great intensity from the players and fans at the beginning. Orient and the ref did well to break that up though.
Shame we didn't increase the gap but let's just focus on what we do.
Let's not make it about him tho, 3 points..well done..Next.
Ref was incredible 1st half and I don't mean good.
No real stand out players for me, we just did the job & got the result.
Clean sheet.
Quick thinking from Wiggins for 1st and great cross from Cook for 2nd.
Thought we looked very good first half, back to early season with Dale on form but Os played 442 which helped us.
Good work by Cook to set up Scott "no end product" Wagstaff for yet another goal.
What was Cort's goal disallowed for? Hands?
2nd half they pressed us and we went long ball. Dany gave us a more physical presence up top and good finish from a peach of a cross.
Highlight of the day? Winning Green's shirt in the draw, having Waggy at 9s for first goal or buying the ackworth book?
