Ratings Orient 0 Bradford 1

Jones 7 - A couple of smart saves, no rustiness shown a bright spot today
Cuthbert 6 - few good tackles but link up with Moses was poor today
Clarke 6 - OK but not great distribution from back 4 today
Baudry 6 -ditto but gives his all
Sawyer 5 - weak link as usual, poor touch and didn't offer much offensively
Moses 6 - Some good driving runs but not much final ball
Lundstrom 6 - Looked composed on the ball with some nice technique but didn't dominate or offer much going forward
Ness 5 - dissapointing for me.  I expected more driving runs forward but gave the ball away a fair bit
Cox 7- Looked the likeliest to create something out wide
Lisbie 6 - Held the ball up well but balls pumped long to him all game where just not working
Mooney 5 - quiet
Batt (S) 7 - pumping the ball to him at least worked, looked the most likely to score when he came on
James (S) 7 - came on and gave more energy than Lundstrom
Dagnall (S) 6 - one great run into the box but not picked out by Cox

Atmosphere - mainly encouraging as Orient played better than Tuesday but flat after the goal because Bradford defended well.



Sawyer 5? What game where you watching he got in where it hurt a few times Today I thought he did ok 7
Ness 5?    Thought he also had a decent game Today 7
Mooney 5? Very generous he did nothing Today 3
Rest I kind of agree with
Its time to give Lasimant/ Dagnall/Batt a run out all pacey and would bother defences it pains me to say it but it is just not happening with Mooney and Lisbie defences close them down so easily because there both lethargic 

We played better today than we have in the last month. Jones some smart saves second half. Midfield passing was ok. Odubajo played his best game for a month.
Have said it before and I will say it again our issue is the front 2 - now batt is fit he needs to start with dagnall.

Lisbie, dagnall, mooney, batt, Simpson. Add the games each of them has played since Christmas and I am guessing 30 odd games? And I am guessing less than 5 goals?
We get a front 2 firing again and we are in with a shout for the play offs. Only won 1 game in the last 6 but only let in 4 goals - it says it all.

Mooney was about as good as he was on Tuesday...offered nothing. Moses was terrific, he ran the two markers ragged and consistently got crosses over even when being tackled. He was at the cutting edge of an attack then moments later was winning a tackle in the left back position. Later he thwarted a dangerous attack in the centre half position.
Thought cox was out of salts. Lisbe won several balls in the air and provided clever lay offs and held the ball up well.
Overall we were much better than tues and played some decent stuff at times, but the combination of good goalkeeping, resolute defending and bad luck meant that the better team lost.
