MATCHWATCH : Bristol Rovers (a)

Looking forward to Burnley v2 where we beat Barnsley and word spreads that Orient have drawn to Huddersfield, only to find out after the pitch invasion that they scored a last minute winner.

You only have to look at the L2 and Championship tables to see how unlucky we'd be to miss out with 78.

Watching the highlights, our first goals is a thing of beauty. Not many teams at this level are consistently capable of moves like that. The superior quality is why we can look crap for an hour and still win.

Fantastic support , great result pray for a miracle next week

BFTG - Another top day out. The terracing is offset from the pitch so it was pretty hard to see a lot of the game but absolute carnage when we scored, that's why we do awaydays. The first goal was sublime passing and a great finish. Periera kept us in the game up to that point with a couple of great saves but after the first goal Rovers were done.

The stewards were pretty friendly accommodating the inflatables in good nature, we need Clyde back to tell us how great the away support numbers were comparatively.

Post match we headed down to King St, a night out in Bristol is so much better than Reading.

We should never ever be having a pitch invasion for making the playoffs. That's a very tinpot thing to do, let alone making the league one playoffs.

Probably far less chavs as well

But this would be my 7yo’s first ever pitch invasion.

Just focus on ourselves. Most galling scenario would be if Huddersfield do us a favour but we don't get our own job done.

But that would be so, so like us!

A home win with another side failing to win away is hardly a miracle. Orient naturally start as favourites but pressure can do strange things esp if we go ahead in our game whilst they are drawing/losing.

Amazing atmosphere in the ground and my first ever visit to Bristol Rovers. Seems a great club and a shame our result puts them firmly in the relegation spots. The atmosphere was absolutely top notch - a real proper away day, with a packed away end (both parts), with inflatables adding a bit of extra sass.

I spent most of the first half once again asking myself "how can we be this utterly sh1te". Rovers were by far the better team and as others said, the GK really did save our skin several times - from across the ground, the saves looked great too.

Second half we came out a different team really. Way more confidence, more control and once we started to grip the game up and get the second goal, we looked in total control.

It was absolutely gutting really to see the goal, then see seconds after that Orient scored - exactly the same time.

I'm very nervous about next Saturday. Going to be a really decent attendance in for the game, hope the players perform and do their job. Obviously the Orient game can go either way, I don't know enough about them but I don't feel confident we'll get the playoff spot as it's in their hands to lose. It's whether they have the bottle to perform and get the points needed.

Huddersfield are at home, but they've got nothing to play for. I keep cursing the 1-0 loss at home to Lincoln - what a screw up that was and a gift for orient too.

That was a great away day. I thought we looked comfortable at the back, with a lack of steel in midfield that allowed them to create a few too many openings. That's something that we need to address next season I think, assuming we're sold etc..

Pereira made some superb saves - I really think he's one of the best 'keepers in this division and someone I'd love to stick around. But as the game wore on, their initial adrenaline-fueled pressure began to wane and we started to take control.

Wing's goal was sublime. That touch from Savage was absolutely brilliant, and I wouldn't want anyone else running onto the ball in that situation. What a celebration as well, there's nothing like going mad in the away end on a warm day in an important game. From then on we were in control and despite them making a few chances, I could see the life being drawn out of their players every passing minute.

I'm pleased Chem got a goal at the end as well. He worked hard but was let down a bit by some of his decision making, which happens at a young age, but he took the goal really well. Everything to play for on Saturday, which is beyond my wildest dreams for this season. Whatever happens, we've had a great season and all the players and staff deserve huge credit.
