As the legendary baseball player and manager Jogi Berra once famously said: “It’s like déjà vu all over again!”, once again in the space of just 4 days Orient went from winning comfortably at home, at least in the end, to being frustrated by a team lower down the league on our travels. In last […]
Stop me if you heard this one before…Orient go into a game looking like favourites but somehow end up settling for a draw in a match that they seemed more than capable of winning. In many ways this has been the story of the O’s season, at least in the league. The draw at Rochdale […]
After the O’s stunning bounce back to league form with the brilliant 5-0 win over Hartlepool, the fixture list dictated that it would be a brief cup sojourn for the O’s before we head off to Rochdale on our league travels once again. Much has been written and spoken about how the FA Cup has […]
For those of you who read last week’s piece (Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings – More frustration for the O’s, how do we spark ourselves back into form?) you may have picked up on the frustration that I was feeling at the O’s ongoing winless run, in fairness it wasn’t hard as I didn’t exactly disguise it […]
After the positive draw against league leaders Forest Green, I can’t have been alone amongst the Orient faithful in hoping that our trip to Stevenage offered an ideal opportunity to get our first win on the board since the victory at Bristol Rovers more than a month ago. However, the fact that we didn’t win, […]
It is one of those things with football that depending on the context a similar result can either feel frustrating and negative or it can feel like a positive result and a step in the right direction. The last two Orient home displays being very much a case in point. Saturday’s goalless draw at home […]
After a positive and encouraging start to the season which saw KJ’s newly assembled squad pick up 15 points out of a possible 24, losing just once at home to surprise package Harrogate Town, the good ship Orient seems to have happened upon some choppier waters in recent weeks. The goalless draw at home to […]
Well that was a kick in the teeth wasn’t it? There is no disgrace in being beaten by a team who are only a point behind you in the league and who are likely to be in the promotion mix come the end of the season, but to come back from being an early goal […]
I just knew that as soon as I wrote about Orient with a large dollop of optimism given our bright start to the season (Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings: The Outbreak of Optimism in E10 Continues), it might well come back and bite me on the backside. Although on the face of it being disappointed at being […]
Another week and another Orient win, this time on the road. That makes it 4 wins, 3 draws and just a solitary defeat so far, I am sure I speak for all of you reading this when I say that life under KJ has gotten off to a very decent start. As I am sure […]
