Peter Shirtliff said "That result was definately harsh on us, the best team lost"

"But that's football and it goes like that sometimes, we didn't take our chances, on another day we would have done, Richie Barker would normally have put one of those opportunities away."

"Then we gave a soft penalty away. That about sums the day up."

"I thought we played very well in the first half without getting the goal our play justified. But we huffed and puffed a lot in the second half."

"Until the penalty I thought we had looked quite comfortable and they had not caused us too many problems."

"I am sure Martin Ling thinks they are a bit lucky to get three points but i don't know if that's the end of our play off hopes."

O's boss Martin Ling said "I have just looked at the league table and it's the first time in a long time we've been in the top three. We really ground it out"

"In the second half we got it together a lot more and I thought we controlled the game and throughly deserved the win in the end"

"To get a tenth away win against a side who, like us, had only lost once in 11 games, shows what a good performance it was"
