    With Crawley v Charlton postponed at least we can’t slip into the bottom four - regardless of today’s result.

    Just as well Bluebaldee

    10 minute Galbraith scores for Orient Rovers 0 - 1 Orient

    Daniel said should have been 1 - 0 Rovers but Keeley saved they counter attack we dont defend well and we are behind AGAIN though there was a clear foul on Moore and the shot was deflected

    Lovely comment from Daniel Hargraves, who says Calderon has the dress sense of Klopp lets hope he has his management capabilities

    16th minute Sousa goes past three defenders but his cross is cut out by Keeley

    18th minute Agyei down injured for the second time and is taking his time in coming off the pitch, is replaced by Kelman

    20th minute Omochere is down and is coming off, a massive loss the way he has played so far

    22nd minute Martin replaces Omochere

    27th minute Sousa wins a corner for Rovers from which Sotiriou tried a shot and won another corner
    a touch from Wilson resulted in Taylor having a shot saved

    30th minute Thomas tripped in the area penalty Rovers, Keeley complained and received a yellow card for his trouble, and Martin scored from the penalty Rovers 1 - 1 Orient, Martins first goal of the season

    A good run from Ward who released Thomas which lead to the penalty

    2 minutes later Hutchinson hits the side netting Rovers appear to be playing some good football today

    38th minute Another bad decision against Rovers Sotiriou wins the tackle, the ref gives Orient a free kick and Yellow cards Sotiriou and Donley scores from the resulting free kick Rovers 1 - 2 Orient

    And they score from the free kick - disgraceful officiating.

    We seem at this moment in time to be getting the rough edge of the official decisions, 2 offside in the other game last week and 2 disallowed penalties,1 off side reckoned to be correct

    Shouldn't have let him go on loan or Jed Ward who he scored against

    43rd minute Calderon yellow carded after a foul on Ward was let go

    7 minutes extra time to be played

    15.48 Sotiriou down injured

    Dont know if Sotiriou is injured or playing on Daniel hasn't said

    HT Rovers 1 - 2 Orient

    Looks like we can beat orient but not the ref and Orient

    O'Niell on for Jayiesimi who had been yellow carded and then fouled Ward and should have received a second yellow / red and been sent off, if thats why Calderon was yellow carded I think it is understandable

    54th minute Kelman scores for Orient Rovers 1 - 3 Orient.

    League 2 here we come

    58th minute Thomas effort on goal is blocked, legal challenge by Taylor gets him yellow carded

    The only time I have seen Martins name mentioned was when he took the ball off Thomas to take the penalty, he really needs to put some effort into the game or get off, we cannot afford to carry passengers

    61st minute McCormick and Forde on Sousa and Sotiriou off

    66th minute Griffiths saves from O'Neill

    68th minute Another save from Griffiths Rovers seem to have lost all confidence and will to win the game as Orient push for a 4th goal

    70th minute Kelman shoots straight at Griffiths Daniel says should have been four, Gasheads making their feelings known and showing their frustrations

    Hutchinson and Taylor off Sinlair and on

    74th minute Martin gets his and Rovers 2nd Rovers 2 - 3 Orient

    Happe blatantly pulls back Sinclair as he races towards goal yellow card only fans want red

    I wish these players would play for the shirt or for personal pride - they’re doing neither at the moment.

    80th minute Forde hits one over the bar, supporters starting to believe again

    84th minute Brown down injured after Griffiths tumbled into him making a clearance free kick or penalty I wonder to be given

    According to Sky play has resumed and Orient have a corner about the 87th minute

    90+1, 6 minutes extra time to be played doesn't seem much for all the substitutions and injuries

    16.55 corner to Rovers, O'Donkor bundles the ball over the line handball given possibly a correct decision

    Seniors cross headed over via a deflection corner Rovers, could be the last kick of the match

    free kick taken quickly and Forde fires straight at Keeley

    FT Rovers 2 - 3 Orient

    The board have got to find him some money quickly, we need defenders who can defend , midfielders who can create and strikers who can put the ball in the net.

    Calderon is going to find winning games with this squad very difficult and we don't have any breathing space, we have got to start winning VERY SOON or it will be to late. we were tipped on a site yesterday to be one of the four relegated

    Mr. Calderon certainly has a job on his hands
    Good luck to him.

    He is going to need far more than luck, I am hoping that the manager of Brighton has a couple of quality players he would be prepared to lend us and help Calderon out in his first management position

    Todays line up v Cambridge

    Griffiths, Sousa, Moore, Wilson, Sinclair, Ward, Sotiriou, Thomas, Taylor, Martin, Lindsay.
    Subs
    Hall, Senior, Hutchinson, McCormick, O'Donkor, Bilongo, Forde

    3 changes from the last match, in come Sinclair, Lindsay and Martin, out Omochere (inj), Hutchinson and O'Donkor, and Mola dropped from the squad

    Ferguson the Brighton striker is being made available for loan, has premier league experience wonder if Calde can use his contacts there

    Kick off has happened

    2nd minute Lindsay scuffs a shot on target after good work by Thomas

    3rd minute Thomas fouled just outside the D which Martin puts well over the bar.

    Martin being Jeered by the home fans possibly due to the fact he played for Norwich

    8th minute Rovers Corner won of a Martin Cross which was deflected out. the resulting corner found no one wearing green and Josh Stokes the Bristol City loanee breaks away and is dragged down earning Ward a yellow card, the resulting freekick clears everybody in the box and goes out of play

    14th minute Sinclair opts to shoot rather than crossing the ball and it goes well over the bar

    15th minute Connor Taylor down and getting treatment but is OK just waiting to get back on the pitch

    18th minute Save from Griffiths results in a corner to Cambridge from which Rovers get a foul in the area and a chance to clear their lines

    25th minute A cross by Sinclair is turned into the net by Thomas Cambridge 0 - 1 Rovers

    31st minute N'Lundulu fires over the bar after Rovers gave the ball away cheaply

    35th minute corner to Cambridge

    36th minute Ref is having problems with his wearable technology players having a drinks break

    interesting comment by the Orient manager, he reckons that if Ward had gone to ground when his shirt was pulled his player would have been sent off and that was why he subbed him at HT

    41st minute match restarted

    43rd minute Sotirou and Lindsay both miss an opportunity to at least make their keeper work

    45th minute Stokes puts one over the bar ref gives a corner Rovers players protest

    13.15 Cambridge calling for an FA qualified official, fourth official has now replaced the ref still loking for a fourth official.

    45+3 Stokes curled one over the bar no added time given

    45+5 Korey Smith yellow carded for a cynical foul on Thomas

    Apparently 8 minutes of extra time to be played

    45+8 Sotiriou yellow carded went down with a head injury this has now been corrected Morrison the Cambridge captain tried to lift him by the shirt which objected to Morrison also yellow carded

    HT Cambridge 0- 1 Rovers

    Second half restarted no substitutions

    46th minute Griffiths forced into a save

    47th minute Thomas down injured medical staff looks to be OK awaiting permission to re enter the game52nd minute Thomas cross to the back post and Sotiriou fails to get a touch

    54th minute Great cross by Stokes and no one from Cambridge gets on the end of it

    56th minute Stoke puts one into the side netting, think the inter City / Rovers rivalry is happening here

    58th minute Sotirou and Thomas off Hutchinson and O'Donkor on

    I’m worried about us sitting back and trying to protect a 1-0 lead. That’s not worked well for us this season.
