There's a world of difference between these two top v bottom clashes.

Stevenage starting to dominate struggling Carlisle without really threatening

Exeter have improved from the first half but still Orient are the better team. Aimson making crucial blocks and the goalie full length saves to keep Orient out.

That said, Prats lucky not to see red after a very late challenge.

Pratley wasn't averse to some poor quality tackles. Often taking the man from behind with no chance of winning it.

Stevenage finally nick one to go top.

He hasn't changed one bit

Screamer from Soritoiou of Orient spoils the Grecians' party!

Stevenage top of the league,

Wasn't the best part of his game, at times it could appear "lazy" as if he couldn't be arsed to get into a better position to make a tackle.

Young George also makes a number of fouls, but I see his efforts as being over committed at times, when the ball isn't there to be won.

Will improve with experience.

Carlisle equalise.

And we're up into 2nd

We were anyway, with Exeter losing.

[Wanderlust]

Carlisle could have nicked it. Owen Moxon is the absolute heartbeat of Carlisle but he put one over just before the equaliser. Good day for us with two of the teams around us dropping points.

Have to say Orient were excellent.

We'll be clear by end of September, bookies paying out, the lot.

Some finish. Imagine being on that terrace today though.

Scunthorpe losing at home to Buxton in the league currently. What a fall that has been.

It escalated quickly

The rain was that bad that the penalty taker couldn't see the ball?! 😂

Look at the league in any past season you care & there's always a couple of teams you can't quite believe we're that far up (or down).

Oh no doubt. Exeter less so as I remember being concerned at their results early 90s but Stevenage is defo a first

Just been reading an article on BBC sport about Klinsmann being under pressure with South Korea, hes hardly ever there spends most of his time in America!

Germany's coach also under pressure in upcoming friendlies. I wonder if Klinsmann finds his way back to taking charge of Germany short term for their home Euros.

Just lost 4-1 at home to Japan.

Germany would kill to have Klopp. At least all the players can't up and leave to play for Saudi Arabia.

Does feel like the best opportunity we will get.

[Marc505]

Well, I've just listened to Iles doing his own version of an Exploding Heads style phone in skit on his podcast, and I'm giving up the Internet.

It matters not. If we had played the Blind skoo and Soul Squad, the scalpels would still have been hovering over the wrists of some of our more excitable types.
