    To get even more of a match day experience, can I also suggest setting up your laptop at the bottom of the stairs and sitting half way up to recreate the feeling of being in the stands.

    I think people are forgetting the certain goal that Anthony O'Connor stopped in the first half. He had a great game and I think people just don't like him due to past seasons, armband gate and because he isn't a kiss the badge type of player.

    It's unlikely but if we win the 3 games in handion Cambridge then we could be just 6 points behind the team that's currently 4 points clear at the top.

    That is an absolutely bizarre scenario from where we were.

    Fortunately it was just you. His HT warm up was something the non playing Cheltenham lads came out of their box to watch. Shooting from 35 yards and apparently aiming for the woodwork (ground staff working in the goal itself) he rattled posts and cross bar, the last so hard the ball came all the way back to him. Disinterested!!, don't think so.

    I can’t wait for our games. Never in a million years did I think I’d be saying that at this point, just a few weeks ago.

    Just the sort of game you get regularly at this level the secret is winning them. Give orient credit they gave us no time on the ball but we used the subs very well and made chances in the second half . I love the skill and work rate of Ollie Crankshaw

    It may be horses for courses. Perhaps they think that Rowe's skillset is better suited to breach Orient's defence than Cook's. Given their dismal recent run you'd think that Orient will park the bus. Rowe's ability to make space for himself, link well with the midfield and hit screamers from distance may be a better bet against a packed defence than hitting balls onto Cook's head, especially on a windy night where we'll want to keep it on the deck.

    We were mediocre tonight, but our defence was superb. Canavan is a great asset and Paudie is superb at the back now.

    Probably our best win under T&S. Yes, performance wise below par on RECENT games but it was a game we was not going to lose.

    As the season progresses, were gonna get opponents whom play similar with the press and sit in.

    What's the most beautiful thing today for me, was I was edgy, at kick off but watched the game, without consulting bantamtalk. On the penalty, I was apprehensive for the first time in yonks. Great penalty and my celebration, had the cat jump out it's bleeding skin.

    Super win.

    Well done on your win tonight....why are so many being negative on here? Anyway we've decided to make the league promotion and play off places interesting by losing at home to Cheltenham tonight. To be fair they're a fine team and so that puts your win on Sat into context...so on we go...

    I reckon they will have spoken to Rowe and cook previously, telling them there will be rotation between the 2. Doubt it's an issue

    Might be classed as idiots in your part of the world.
    They're classed as having opinions up here.
    I class idiots, as people that can't deal with opinion that doesn't match their own.

    Yeah, on paper, you'd have to fancy us, but no doubt they will come and make it a test.

    How good is is to be craving the next game though? We haven't felt this sort of excitement since McCall took us to Wembley.

    You just look at the depth we've added to the squad and it is comforting given the hectic schedule ahead. Crankshaw and Rowe have so much to offer to this side, yet you can't really justify dropping anyone (unless of fatigue) after that superb performance on Sat.

    Roll on kick off time.

    I'm thinking of recreating my midweek matchday experience tomorrow. I'm going to get fish and chips, park on the drive (instead of Queens Road), eat my fish and chips in the car listening to the build up on the radio (unless its on fecking MW). Then I'll dash into the house, give the wife 3 quid for a paper cup of crap coffee and settle down to watch the match on ifollow. Obviously when I go for a pee at half time I will only use the cold tap when washing my hands. Bring it on!

    I thought Rowe's performance on Saturday was a tactical response. Two nil up, hold play up there and do not take any risks.
