cracking day. When was the last time the majority of fans were still there singing when the players came back out for the warm down?8

I think NJ might also have had Tuesday night's coming tough game against Barnsley in mind where we'll really need those 2 to be up for it...ForeverAddickted said:One aspect I'll disagree with, from the Post-Match comments is the subs that people are praising Jones for.
Apart from Gilbert and maybe Docherty, I thought they were the type you make when you're desperate and just go for it - Taking Edwards, and especially Coventry off messed up with our shape a bit, and barely noticed Aneke / Leaburn10 -

Radio London commentary - good to sample the atmosphere - worth listening to the added on time from around 1 hour 48 minutes.22 -

Moments like that are what makes it all worthwhile
A strange game, as we were easily the better team in the first half but lacked quality in front of goal, with spongefoot shooting or the header straight at the keeper.
Their players came out very late after HT, and were transformed, completely dominating the first 15 minutes, scoring, and having other chances. You know it's not good when your keeper goes down for a tactical injury break... The subs didn't really improve our play, but we still kept on creating and missing chances. Not that we could see much of it from the away section!
What the changes DID do was load the opposition box with big men, and while all the Orient defenders were preoccupied with Miles and Chuks, both Gillesphey and Ramsay were left unmarked at the back stick! You still need quality delivery though, and Gilbert delivered it in spades.
Incredible scenes, the singing went on for an eternity after the game. Sometimes away fans are kept in after the game by the police, in this case we kept ourselves in

Wembley apart, I can’t recall Charlton fans still singing in the away end 10-15 mins after the match finished.
La la la la la la la la la la La la la. La la la.8 -
I bet it was great to be in that away end today, what a day for those that went11

So true. I noticed as the second half was about to kick off Small just sort of flicked the Orient player opposite him. It was wonderfully dismissive and a show of physical superiority. We have that all over the pitch.sam3110 said:Orient fans calling us one of the most physical and robust teams they've played this season, and not in a dirty or underhanded way, just a physically strong outfit that bullied them all game.
Such a good thing to hear after having years and years of powderpuff squads unable to see out games2 -
I can see from that 2nd photo that Leaburn doesn't care & is just going through the motions 😀.se9addick said: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!

Amazing win. With our record this season there’s always hope we’ll find a late goal - what a game to get two.
Also found out of our first team outfield players who have started a league game this season and are still at the club, only Watson hasn’t scored a league goal (excluding those out on loan).5 -

I’ve not thought until today that we might make the playoffs. Today was a day that we mustn’t lose and when I saw the equaliser I was so chuffed. The winner was a real statement that this group don’t concede defeat which is exactly the mentality you need at this stage. For me for the first time the playoffs are now in our own hands. Still tough but we can do this. The playoffs are not promotion but it’s the least we started the season expecting. If only, if only we had started the season as we’re looking like finishing. We’d be giving Birmingham a run for their money. Credit to Jones for this.8

I dont argue with much of what he has to say, think the second goal is a matter of opinion and on another day we may have it ruled out.
I did feel for him when the Interviewer said that they conceded twice in injury time and he had to ask if it was a question... Felt like a bit of a dig more than a question.0 -

Thought Charlton's two wide players the number 7 and the 25 (who was a huge unit) looked really decent. The keeper looked good too. But the rest of them I thought were very poor. They are just a real hoofball team full of huge physical players - a bit like watching Wimbledon in the late 70s. And the celebrations at the end were absolutely nauseating. You'd have thought they had won the F A Cup and the Champions league rolled into one instead of a match between two teams who were 8th and 9th in League One.

We certainly do. I'm trying to think where that all came good (like most things, Northampton was the first real indicator I guess). At the start of the season it felt like we had a decent first XI, but as soon as we made changes things would go downhill. Now it feels like we're strong for all eighteen squad places and probably a few reserves as well. There's obviously been some great work in developing this team.Nug said:We do have a strong bench these days and it showed today4
