In summary. Archer played okay.

We can take penalties.

We rested our playmakers and best players...Dieng, Barbet ( a bit) deWisj, Wallace ( a bit), Johansen, Willock, Chair and Austin..

We have a home tie against Oxford.

It could be worse

Have only now seen that we won on penalties.
Great, we're officially on a Cup run!

Just watched Warbs post match interview. He was rightfully peeved.

He also said he heard boos directed at Bettache. As good as our support was we really have some utter repellent dick heads in our fanbase. This is a young player making his very first start and expected to be the playmaker. Personally I thought he did well, sure he over hit a few long passes but he showed willing and good intent. If we are already booing our players at this stage we deserve nothing (I will never, ever understand booing our own players unless it's Boswanka).

Ignore me I'm an idiot and not awake yet. They were booing him being subbed.
 
Very different line-ups of course but against Millwall on Saturday and again last night we struggled in the second half after looking really good early on. I wonder if our squad is as match fit as they should be? I know we missed out on one pre-season game but I don't see why that would put us so far behind.
 
The boos were absolutely because he was taken off. Warbs explained why so no story here.

What was crazy was Orient fans leaving in droves at the final whistle only to return a couple of minutes late when they realised there were penalties.

Great support from the travelling fans.

I'm not really worried. We have a couple of good players coming back soon, hopefully with Chair back on Saturday.

Let's not forget that the end of last season was a resurgence, rather than consistent good form. I think we need to build up to a bit of a rhythm.

Johanssen wasn't part of the pre season training or the matches. We've lost who was going to be our main central or defensive midfielder in Field. Hopefully, Amos can step up there soon.

Dom Ball was actually potentially the best player in the second half against Millwall, so we can't count him out. He's a good character to have on the pitch.

Dykes looked woeful last night. In fact, we saw that a few of the supposedly strong backup players struggled when faced with a dogged scrap of a match with a lower league team who fancied it. Hopefully that was just pre season cobwebs.

Was Scowen on big wages? I wouldn't mind a bit of him in midfield. Shame we let him go. He was a player with potential, in my eyes.

I must have watched a different game as Bettache looked like the best of a bad bunch.

Yup as I've already acknowledged.

The atmosphere seemed excellent watching on Sky Sports.
