Lot of equalisers flying in.

Portsmouth, Barnsley and Peterborough are all drawing.

It’s fecking piss poor. There’s not one player out there who isn’t replaceable, January is nearly here. Why aren’t they playing for their shirts?

Orient turned up half asleep, what’s our excuse? This is embarrassing. They brought a 90 year old pratley on to change the game!

Possibly thought the game was won.

Not the first time we've conceded two in the second half.

It's a mentality thing again. This game epitomises our season. Brilliant for the most part but with an ability to get shellshocked.

Not sure how that was a free kick for Pratley?

Come on ref, I know neutrals like to see a good comeback but lets not facilitate it with questionable refereeing.

Urgh Barnsley and Peterborough both taking the lead.

Feel like its no rest of the wicked. No glimpse of subs at the moment.

Our passing has been horrendous. Why hasn’t he made any subs?

Makes the game management even more questioning given we've got a game in a few days time. Game plan has always been subs around 60 mins and yet late subs when they're likely to be even more tired today.

Someone needs to check Evatt for a pulse here. How is he not seeing this?

Oh dear. Vic and Jerome for Charles and JDB, that'll do it. Leave the midfield as it is cause it's working a treat.

Cheap free kick given away from Happe there. Jerome's not got the legs to get anywhere near that.

I'd like to see Morley or Maghoma on here for Dempsey. I suspect we're not seeing them maybe telling a story in of itself. Do we consider Morley and Maghoma the types to see out games, or do we see them as the type to unlock the opposition?

Well Morley is on. Suspect that's intended on his passing range in order to feed Jerome.

Suspect it’s to eat up the clock and that’s it. Orient unlucky if they don’t get a point here.

Certainly feels that way, especially with the Jerome and Forrester clearances.

I was going to say our close misses in the first half probably warrants them not considering themselves unlucky, but I think they've matched them in the second.

Absolutely mental game. Could've been comfortable, but far from it.
