Excellent game with 2 good sides and for once decent officials.
I thought hunt had his best game for us and we looked solid at the back.
sotirou had a good game but I felt there were a couple of occasions where he could have got his shot away.
Graham deserves better from the number of crosses he gets in and archibald as usual worked his socks off.
I would have taken a point before kick off, so we’ll done orient.

The forwards and Graham need to go to a restaurant and have a play with the condiment pots.

Graham thinks he's a top-class winger which is why he's not improving the team. A winger's job is to take on his marker, get past him which will turn the defence, get your cross in before the defense can recover, non of which he does, waits for defense to recover, our forwards are marked up result diddly squat, He can't defend to save his life because he thinks he's a good winger and marking back isn't high on his agenda, he was responsible for their equalizer, Oppo knew he couldn't defend for toffee and played on him, A useless showboater

Im not having that. Hes a great addition to the team. I saw him looking to cross many times yesterday but there wasnt anyone there. I didnt see showboating. I saw him looking for white shirts in the box. Most of their attacking penetration came down our left. |

Graham is a fantastic player at League 1 level. Almost always gets his cross in, and its a pity we're weak up front, and there's no one there to capitalise. To call him a showboater is ridiculous |

There goal came down our right playing on Graham the weak link in our defence, look at the replay Graham knew it was his fault. So he can't defend or turn a defence, Anyone can cross a ball when virtually standing still, so he goes down the wing and because no one else is good enough to get in the box then he doesn't bother to put in a decent cross, everyone elses fault except him, Glad your not our manager |

Steve Evans wondered how on earth we managed to sign Graham. His take on him is that he is a championship player.
My views are that he is an excellent player, an exceptional crosser of the ball, who reads the game very well. So yes if he was disappointed with his contribution to there goal, that tells you all you need to know about him as a player.

Steve Evans may think he's a championship player however he's not performing at that level, Barnsley sussed him out just as I did in our first game at Charlton. He's nowhere near as good as Smyth and he is in the championship where as our guy ain't and never will be |

He's nowhere near as good as Smyth and he is in the championship where as our guy ain't and never will be I agree that he is nowhere near as good as Smyth but he does give us a bit of edge down the wing. He crosses well and can take corners. He doesn't seem interested in free kicks or shooting though. I think Graham's a good addition but I don't think he's as good as Theo. Incidentally, I am surprised at how few people have mentioned the improvement in our corners recently. |

He gets far more crosses in than Theo..Alas we don’t benefit from them.If we had the strikers to attack his crosses and score more goals,then you’ll realise how good he actually is |

Graham did a decent job yesterday imho. Of the two though I would say Archibald is the more important player for us. As to Graham’s crossing - yes he does tend to get more in than Theo - but as we haven’t got the type of strikers that do regularly attack them I wonder why he doesn’t modify his style a bit?

Was a good game between two decent sides but the only real Championship quality player I saw was their 8 who scored to cap a really good performance. Really pleased with how we matched up with them, only problems were not being able to make chances from all the possession, and the absence of subs who could freshen things up after an hour, Drinan just never got into the game.
