It struck me as I was coming out of Brisbane Road last Tuesday evening that things are starting to get serious for the Orient faithful. I always go into our matches hoping for a decent performance and a good result, but the level of nervous tension has really ramped up over the last couple of […]
Well let’s be honest about it: 2 wins on the bounce, with 3 goals scored, and 2 more clean sheets to take our total to a scarcely credible 19 out of 30 matches, was a stunning way for the O’s to break out of their recent doldrums. With the teams chasing immediately behind us all […]
Orient headed up to the Wirral last Saturday very much in need of a positive result to give us all a boost. Instead, what we got was another inhibited performance in which we failed to register so much as a single shot on target for the second match in succession. The current seven match run […]
We probably all knew that going to Stevenage and getting a result against a team very much in form and closing the gap behind us was going to be a big ask. However, the meek manner in which we slipped to a 3-0 loss, which could and possibly should have been even more comprehensive, wasn’t […]
As I said at the end of last week’s post (Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings: Orient get back to winning ways at a “tropical” Brisbane Road.), now that we are past the halfway mark and entering the run-in to the season, it feels as if we are very much in one game at a time territory as […]
Well that was intense wasn’t it? Doncaster proved to be a tough nut to crack at Brisbane Road last Saturday, but most importantly we got there in the end thanks to a wonder strike, and another contender in the increasingly crowded list of nominations for Orient’s goal of the season, from Archie. As we are […]
Looking at the pure facts: three matches played, no goals scored, two points picked up and a potential seven dropped; suggests that the festive period has been a bit of a slump for our beloved O’s. It has been our second run of “poor” form this season matching the spell in early October when we […]
Apologies for the missing musings last week, but with the match at Crewe having been called off due to a frozen pitch, and my “celebrating” a landmark birthday at the end of the week, I felt it probably best to try to pull some logical/coherent thoughts together for this week. This time we start with […]
One of the things that I have noticed about the O’s astonishing start to the season, is it feels like the stakes are higher for every match we play. In many ways, as I touched on in last week’s post (Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings – Orient back in action and looking to keep up the […]
Even though it has only been two weeks, doesn’t it feel like quite some time since our beloved O’s were in action with that stunning comeback win up at Stockport? Of course, the small matters of a month made up entirely of away fixtures, and a highly controversial autumn/ winter World Cup have only made […]
