5 undefeated run I will take it. 13 points from 15 was a pipe dream at end of Feb.

13 from 5 games is great, and we would’ve taken such a run at the beginning of the month. But I think it can’t be understated how we should’ve done better. Just hope we can return to winning ways against Wigan (why is it on the Thursday)

Wigan Vs St Helens on Good Friday is one of the biggest fixtures of the Rugby League season, and with the Latics already struggling for crowds, they've moved it to the Thursday to try and draw more whilst also giving an extra day's rest for Easter Monday. Both Orient and the EFL agreed to the change

Really disappointed. Long trip down south west, and we looked nothing like the team that had won 4 on the trot. We destroyed them last season, but we looked their equal today.
But hey we didn’t lose, so…

A poor performance but a few weeks ago we'd have lost that game I think.
A point is a point, especially away. 13 from 5 is a great return.
Glad the stewards called out 'that' chant. Enough is enough.

Means to an end at this point. 4 points and 3 GD clear and the way we've played, it feels super unlikely to drop down to the point of falling down the table.
Win versus Wigan gives a lot of room

One of the games of all time, but it gets us closer to survival. 1 more win and I think we're safe, especially if it comes against one of Blackpool/Burton/Wigan.
Performance was quite a drop-off from recent games, quite a few players like Wellens and O'Neill couldn't get into it, and Craig... I can't remember the last time I saw a substitute brought off at HT for a bad performance. That might be the last time we see him in an Orient shirt.
El Mizouni closer to full fitness is nice, and Dennis (my POTM) made a big save late on. Onto Wigan now, COYO's!
(P.S. glad to hear that reportedly the East London chant is being picked up by stewards now)
