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.
club decided pleased
He's decided to concentrate on his club football. I'm pleased with the decision.
bit difficult far games local perhaps
He is a local ref and perhaps it is something we have to look at. He is not far from us and perhaps when they come into games refereeing their local teams, it is a bit difficult for them.

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.

We are getting a few clean sheets now and that is the only way we could have turned it around really. Only results will determine whether we really have turned it round but the Premiership is so tough. You have to be up for it every game.

He's come in and, along with some other young players, has been a breath of fresh air at this club.

He hasn't been right since he signed in January. So we'll shut him down and make sure he gets himself fit for next season.
believe december gain gary happen played reserves sure until
He has come here to gain experience, and nothing can happen until December anyway. I believe Gary Neville has played in the reserves this week, so I am sure he will be back soon, and someone else will go over the other side.

We moved in straight away, and although he was publicly linked with other clubs, we were always confident we would sign Danny.
dean gaining keeper saves sitting valuable
There has not really been a lot going on for Stephan, he has not had many saves to make. I want to have a look at him. He is a young keeper and is gaining valuable experience. When Dean comes back he will be sitting on the bench, he has not done that before.
ahead cup forward game season
Now we have the cup game ahead to look forward to and keep our season going.
