Gillingham 2 - Leyton Orient 1

Pheweeh!

Having sat and watched us squander a 3-0 lead at the Orient I was really hoping to get some points back. It came. Eventually.

We easily out played them first half - and in fact played very well. But somehow they got the goal. It looped into the top corner of the net and we were down. We saw out the half and again rued the chances not put away.

Second half own goal, sending off and a penalty. All the ingredients for a tops game. But it felt really flat - despite the largest crowd of the season. It was odd - no sense of Boxing Day or anything vaguely festive. Hey ho.

Another 3 points and a shift into the top half of the table. Very appreciated.
