Quite simply the most sublime team performance I've witnessed this season.
It was a night when everything went right for Stanley & everything went wrong for Orient.
They were far from the worst team I've seen at the Wham this season and despite the scoreline, they never gave up trying, although we were in a different class tonight.
Strangely, any euphoria I feel about such a total victory is tinged with real sympathy for the 200 odd Orient faithful who made the long journey north on a Tuesday night, only to see their team humiliated.
When you're rock bottom of the EFL & facing financial oblivion, it takes real dedication to show such loyalty. They deserve nothing but our respect.
Theirs is a club with a longer history than ours & I wish them well in their battle to stay afloat.
As for us, could it be that which we thought impossible, may actually be......... POSSIBLE!
