Some earlier than usual musings this week, as the missus and I are off on a (baseball-related) jaunt to our favourite city for the first time since Coronavirus changed the world, New York. It does mean that we aren’t available for the short away trip to Wimbledon, but any of you who know us can […]
I don’t know about you, but I could really get used to this: another match, another win and Orient stay top of the table for the second week in succession. Thanks to our old friends Salford beating Stevenage, we now even have a lead at the summit, albeit just the one point over Barrow. Once […]
On the eve of the season (Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings- Another Orient adventure is about to get underway, but are we still optimistic for the season ahead?) we reflected on Richie Wellens’ clearly stated intention of wanting “to start fast this time around and to not end up chasing the leading pack”, we also looked ahead […]
I ended last week’s post (<strong>Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings- Orient maintain their perfect start to the league campaign but are less than impressive.</strong>) by suggesting that the games at home to Mansfield and then away at Swindon and Colchester in quick succession would tell us a quite a bit about our prospects for the season. […]
Forgive me if you have heard this one before, but Orient secured all three points last Saturday thanks to a strike from range by Tom James. It wasn’t however just the nature of the Welshman’s goal that contained a large dollop of déjà vu, as we won in the sunshine in Crawley, just as we […]
Happy New Season! How’s your summer been? A nice break and a chance to recharge the batteries ahead of the new season? Or long and drawn out missing the regular routine and the ups and downs of following our beloved O’s? Mind you given that we played our first pre-season friendly at Haringey on the […]
To call Orient’s 2021/22 season a rollercoaster might just about go somewhere near describing the ups and downs that we have all experienced over the course of the last 9 months or so. From initial optimism at the arrival of an experienced manager with a proven track record of securing promotion, and some encouraging early […]
Leyton Orient away form 2021/22- Played:23 Won:5 Drawn:11 Lost:7 For:26 Against:25 Diff: +1 Points: 26 The 2-0 win away at Crawley last Saturday concluded Orient’s campaign on the road for this season. The final points total is good enough for 13th place in the “away matches” table, with the slight caveat that if Sutton and/or […]
The 4-2 defeat by automatic-promotion-chasing Northampton Town provided something of a reality check for the recently reinvigorated Orient faithful. Going in at half-time 4-1 down suggests it was our worst performance of the campaign, but it really didn’t feel like that. In fact for a fleeting moment when Jordan Brown scored at the start of […]
After a slight bump in the road at Sutton United, the O’s certainly bounced back to form over the Easter weekend, with an expected and fairly routine home victory over now-relegated Scunthorpe United and a gutsy, determined and hard-fought win at play-off chasing Swindon Town, the only team over which we have done the double […]
