    My second boy is due Apr 6th, which means I’ll be unavailable for the run in, and I’m not renewing my season ticket next season that I’ve had for 30 years due to family commitments.

    Of course we’re going up 😂

    Didn't play particularly well. Didn't deserve to lose.
    But to win from where we were. That's the kind of thing you need to get out of leagues.
    Play well and win. Play s*it and still win!
    We're on our way!!!

    That’s the kind of result that breeds a belief that can put a team on a long winning streak ! 2nd place not out of the question 
    Absolutely not out of the question. I would be very disappointed if 95 points didn't get an outright.

    Amazing, amazing, amazing finish!

    I don’t want to overdo it but that’s the sort of thing a team does when it’s serious about promotion, 

    Took me a good 30 seconds to celebrate the equaliser, I was certain the ref would rule it out! 



    Great pics SE9.
    No doughnuts digging out Miles Leaburn tonight as he looks quite ecstatic 😁

    Have to say the better team won, or rather the better team in the first half, who weren't in it for the first 15 mins of the second, then regained control then the substitutes got us over the line. Charlton left it late but deserved it, some poor decisions by Godden, Campbell and a dreadful miss by Berry meant we didn't get a deserved lead at half time, then Orient played through us for 15 mins and get a wonder goal. Then we bring on Gilbert, a quality above this league and we get a deserved win. On to Tuesday and Barnsley, I'll settle for four points from the next two games but will probably pee my pants with six.

    PWR...at the match and a great finish to a game we thoroughly deserved to win
     All they had was a 10 minute spell in tbe second half to their credit was a great goal.

    We should have been out of sight first half due to lack lustre finishing and poor choice in tne last third.

    Gresst managers choice in tne last quarter to bring on the subs who changed the game and gave their defence domething else to think about.

    Special praise to the fans who sang throughout and got behind the team.

    Abs feel like I’ve done 1000 sit-ups, that’s how you know it was a good celebration. The singing long after the team had gone down the tunnel was class as well. We are really on to something with this team

    I noticed they got James Brayne (set piece coach) to do the triple fist pump at the end
    Well done to him, but I think if anyone should have taken the credit for the set piece goals today it was their keeper. It was like he'd genuinely lost his mind for both goals

    Leaburns off because he doesn’t celebrate and is always moody!!!

    To feel that we are genuine play-off contenders, I've wanted to see us win from a losing position. To achieve that against a play-off rival and away from home, what a statement of intent!

    Well done everybody. Thrilled.
    You mean like we did against Bolton, a playoff rival, away from home, just a few games ago? 😎

    Gilleshpey’s redemption has been brilliant to see. Solid again today and another last minute header. 

    Makes sense to start Gilbert on Tuesday I think with Doc coming back in too.

    I've not read the full match thread, just the last ten pages, but I'm now wondering whether @Arsenetatters' recent eye op was actually to install second sight given she posted "We will score" about a minute before we actually equalised, and @cafcnick1992 gets the "Well-timed Stat of The Day" award for posting this at 4:47pm
    Why can't we ever score a late goal?
    Aren't we #1 in the league for scoring late goals?

    Mental. 


    Wonder if that includes first half stoppage time?
