forward great work
We're better than we showed today. A lot of that's down to Chelsea. Not only are they great going forward but they work so hard.
great nearer needs selection sorted
We have all been embroiled in it and if they are getting nearer to a selection then great because it needs to be sorted out.
again chasing defenders ended finish four game goal goals great past players point run second
Once again we ended up chasing the game - but their first goal infuriated me. Their second goal was a great run and finish - but from our point of view, you can't let players go past four defenders like that. The two goals we conceded were avoidable.
great performance played result
Not only have we got the result but we've played ever so well, that was a great performance,
achievement great happen home knows next night win
It was a great night for us and a great achievement. Who knows what will happen in the next round. It was a night for the fans, but I would swap it for a home win in the league.
great hope
They did great for their club, ... and I hope now they can go on to better things in the league.
belief bit composure four gave goalkeeper great pick saves thomas top
When you play the top four away, you need your goalkeeper to get 11 out of 10 and that's what Thomas did for us. He made some great saves and showed a bit of composure and gave us belief that we could pick something up here.
credit creep great played three took victory
When I put the three subs on we really went for it and they played a big part in the victory but great credit to Orient they took us all the way and we just managed to creep through.
bottom teams
We have said to all the teams down the bottom we have done our hardest.
cost good switched tonight tough
We were tough tonight though, I don't want to make out we weren't. We battled and scrapped, but we also switched off, and that undid all the good work, and cost us two points, and that's why I'm frustrated.
allowed football loan needs
We've allowed him to go out on loan because he needs to play some first-team football,
ball confident game passing players
There is a long way to go but the players are confident and are passing the ball around and that was a big game for us today.
cup league recent record
Our recent record in the League Cup is appalling.
completing decision deliberate forget talks
It has been a deliberate decision on my part to forget completing talks for now.
