This was largely due to an excellent performance by BSD. His reading of the game, position, and commitment was 1st class. Based on that performance he should be first choice CB.
In the second half we were causing Orient problems and as the game progressed their basic crudity increased to the extent that it was surprising they only got 1 red card. The ref. was so weak he allowed so many blatant fouls to go unpunished. Think it only changed when he realised he had lost control In the end we got a super goal and probably deserved to edge the game.
There was a small improvement in our performance and hopefully during the week LB can make further improvements. Weaknesses, yes mainly our midfield. They have to be physically stronger and far more committed. At least we are in the draw on Monday
