So ABBA was our Waterloo and the winner takes it all.

Bromley 6 Leyton Orient 1, that could have been us if Chris Dagnall could take a penalty.

Quick report from last night's reserves
O'Donnell steady with little to do

Cummings. Sound defensive, offered little going forwards

Do Ball,. Caught square on a couple of times but came into the game

Wood, LBJ will love this. Weak link last night. 4th choice CB on that showing

Purrington worked hard, nothing got past him, not got forwards much

Taylor. Quite first half came into it 2nd still not got behind a fullback 😑

Vaulks some good stuff but just as much bad. Warne needs another CM

Forde, roaming role and always showed for the ball, best player first half but faded

Yates, Jerry who? Played out wide left of a front 3. Did very little

Da Ball. Motm, looked good with the ball. Several dribbling runs and always looked a threat infront of goal

JCH. Arrrgh his off the ball play is terrable. He never anticipated he makes runs then stops. So frustrating

Quick shout for bray. Looked a handful when he came on,. Put on a few pounds and would make the bench at Peterborough infront of Taylor / forde.
Kayode will be a better player than JCH. lightning quick, anticipated where the ball should be. Future looks bright

[millertop]

Some of them players are hopefully going out on loan, Yates, JCH, Taylor a few mentioned I'd add Belaid in there

We need to be looking at keepers, Price no show again

George Hirst has been coming here since start of window (loan) don't know if he is but at 18 that's probably going to be cover even though he's a good player apparently, it'll possible will also be a youth loan

[caytonmiller]

Saw Hurst yesterday He's a big lad for 18 and if he's owt like his dad at finding the net then Wednesday have a good un.

[millertop]

Leicester are interested in Hirst, Everton had a bid turned down,he probably was supporting Man C youngsters but he's signed a long term deal with Wendies so unless silly money is thrown in then you never know
