    Problem is everyone is sitting up top, Cooke, Evans, Sutton need to come deeper between the lines to get the ball from Watt.

    We need to sharpen up. Not enough energy and movement, too slow and sloppy in possession.

    That’s one thing I agree with the commentary: pedestrian feel to game.

    A mid table clash. Neither side showing much desire.

    Going wide too often for my liking, not even close to scoring from these crosses.

    L.O. would be happy with a point, and we're going to get this more and more.

    Orient applying the high press very well. We don't have much clue how to break it down.

    Dull, dull dull!

    Final ball not happening at the moment and cooke/vernam/evans not creating a sniff for rowe.
    Orient out of form?
    We are making them look decent.
    Step it up in the second half please and can City manage some shots on target

    Lack lustre show up to now from City.Seem to have the measure of the O's..just need to get the measure of themselves. The wind is key and how we use it second half..maybe better for Andy Cook and Crankshaw.

    No stresses though, only HT.

    We look very short of ideas. Those long diagonals won't work in the second half, with the wind behind us they'll just fly into touch

    How many times is the commentator going to mention "Trueman and Sellars new era as permanent managers" We know and don't need reminding every 10 minutes.

    I think we are a bit lopsided all our attacking down the right against these it might be good to have Crankshaw down the left

    Hard to know where to begin there, defence looking solid but too cautious and disjointed in attack. Right now I’d be happy with the point.

    Orient look a poor side, clearly come for a point. We're just doing everything too slowly which is playing into their hands.

    Orient clearly happy to sit back. We do not need to panic as there will be chances. Not losing after a poor first half. All to play for.
