....and they've kicked off....

 

Brilliant goal from Conor Chaplin - but given offside !!

 

Hamstring injury to Orient captain Liam Kelly, carried off on a stretcher. Armband handed to Nicky Hunt.

No Orient substitution made as of yet.

 

Orient bring on substitute Semedo for Kelly.

 

Kyle Bennett brought down in the box. No penalty given, and Bennett booked for simulation !

 

Enda Stevens booked for a foul on Jens Janse.

 

Half time whistle goes, and it's 0-0.

We have had almost 60% of the play, and 10 shots (2 on target). Orient have had 2 shots (1 on target).

 

Second half kicks off, Orient have replaced big striker Paul McCallum with Alan Dunne who I believe is a midfielder.
