Slade's men trailed 2-0 and were down to 10 men with 13 minutes left before they scored twice to force extra-time and then hit six unanswered goals, with Jonathan Tehoue and Scott McGleish each hitting hat-tricks, to secure a third-round tie with Norwich.
"That was spectacularly good and bad," said Slade. "I've never witnessed a game quite like that, not in my entire managerial career."
The visitors went ahead in the seventh minute and it got worse for Orient as defender Terrell Forbes was given his marching orders and they went 2-0 down after 54 minutes. But Ben Chorley's penalty gave Orient a lifeline before Nat Kerr was dimissed for Droylsden and then substitute Jonathan Tehoue equalised in the 89th minute.
Chorley was then sent off but Orient's nine men were still too powerful for their opponents as they took the lead for the first time after 93 minutes and it was nine versus nine a minute later when Lee Roche was shown a red. McGleish and Tehoue each completed hat-tricks to round off an amazing tie.
