    Mansfield have scored just before half time.

    Look like they are well on top.

    Gilliead and Hughes had a proper shouting match at each other just before HT.

    Clayton and Halliday have been exceptional for me

    Clayton’s injury, at the time it occurred, without doubt weakened our run in.

    This ain’t over, but they are excellent. Reminds me of the way Man City play formation wise.

    Seem very disjointed. No width.

    Banks seems to be upfront further forward than cook most of the time. No idea where walker is playing.

    Tbf to Gilliead he's having to cover a lot of work with banks now upfront down the middle. No idea thinking why banks is there.

    It’s been faultless for me for a change.

    A win here and it could be an away match first in the play offs.

    If we can start the second half well and press them up the pitch, get on the front foot then we could easy win this.

    Second best and I'm not even sure Orient are fully on it either. They seem like a team that may have been told to go out and win and their competitive nature may have them wanting to win but having already won the league its hard to have that same urgency to play at your best

    They seem to have found their way off the beach so far this second half as they seem to be playing with more urgency which isn't a good sign for you. Urgency and the control will make this a tough second half

    I'd actually say it's the opposite. They started the second half very slowly albeit City were playing and pressing higher.

    Hard to know what to make of those subs. OK, Walker and Banks haven't scored or created many chances in the last couple of days but those feel very defensive changes.

    I just feel in the first half as someone else said it was Man City like, they weren't really putting your backline under too much pressure as it was about good possession to try and use that to create a chance rather than try and play a penetrating ball. Where as at least in the first 10-15 mins of the second they seemed to be looking more to play a forward ball for a quicker turnover and they seemed like they were getting at your backline a bit more. They have seemed to revert back more as the half has gone on though

    I mean, they're clearly trying but they're not really busting a gut to score a goal or put too much pressure on. I think that's why it's so frustrating watching our somewhat inept attacks. We don't really seem to be trying to win, there's a lot of sideways and backward passing and not enough forward running.

    6th now.

    Disappointing that we couldn't try and apply some pressure to score a winner. If we went 2-1 up I think we'd have held on.
