Bizarre scenes at Brisbane road. Ref blows the half time whistle 40 seconds early before the 3rd official even puts the board up, when there was easily at least 4 minutes added time to come due to lengthy treatment for an injury.

We were very lucky Pratley didn’t get a second yellow for a hand ball and then we go score our second less than a minute later.
Very strange indeed. I don't think I've ever seen a ref blow early before, certainly not in a half where should clearly have been a fair bit of stoppage time. I wonder if he'll try to make amends by adding an absurd amount of time at the end of the 90.

Deserved lead for Orient at half time. Hartlepool had their fair share of the game but absolutely zero cutting edge from our visitors. Our press has been excellent today and we look dangerous every time we get the ball on the deck (our first is a good 20-odd pass move which you’ll no doubt barely see on Quest).

Dave Challinor not a happy bunny because Darren Pratley should have been sent off for a second booking. Ref otherwise very good. Great following from the NE and plenty of noise despite nowt to shout about other than a free kick which drifted well wide.

Comfortable 1-0 for us at Oldham. Should have had a couple more.

More of the same in the 2nd half should see us home.

We're now playing out the final two minutes of the first half?

This ref is cooked.

Goal disallowed for Orient. So if that had counted, what would the half time score be??

Bit early for Keith Millen to have had any impact. At least he is fully aware now of the scale of the task ahead of him.
That’s the only positive I can conjure up from today’s horror show.
Scraping a point may have just masked over the reality of the job.
After today he’ll be in no doubt.

If anyone wants to see comedy, watch Northampton’s second goal. We are the worst team in the football league and fully deserve what we’re getting.

That was the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen in my 1,000+ games of football. Speechless.

Another Young cracker after we've been deservedly trailing and could have been worse, plus the home crowd are furious about a foul from Ebou in the build up, with justification by the sound of it.

You guys haven’t dealt with the high press at all today. Two of those goals have come from it.
We do scare me to death at times with the way we tit about with the ball at the back. It was bound to bite us on the arse some day. Today's the day.

Well he's a professional, coming into a team in the relegation zone in League Two following the sacking of their previous manager. He'll have watched some of our previous games, and he'll be aware of the views of the fans and media. I doubt that had we drawn today he'd have gone away thinking everything is going fine.

We've been pretty pathetic away from home all season but this performance really trumps the lot of them.

Rochdale have looked better than us so far, and deservedly ahead. Hopeful for an improved second half and a draw at the very least. We had a goal chalked off for offside, must have been Gordon.

Don’t like to blame the refs usually but playing against 12 today he’s clueless.

3-1 and that should do it for us you’d think. Excellent second half from the Vale. Great how we can change things up like this.

Yellow card for Yems now. Think his post match interview could be fun to watch.

Was worried but we seem to react very well from set backs with this side. Incredible run looks like it is to continue!

Excellent 93rd minute winner :)
Sounded like we deserved it, hit the bar twice.
Another goal for MJ, what a player.
