It took all of 10 minutes for a familiar feeling of frustration to come washing over me at Oakwell on Saturday afternoon. Once again Orient were unable to follow up an improved performance at home to Luton with another encouraging one, an all too familiar failing throughout 2025/26 so far. Either in an attempt to […]
It is really difficult to know what to make of Leyton Orient in 2025/26 so far. Just when we had put in a solid performance to secure a convincing win away at Burton which suggested we may have turned a corner form-wise (Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings: Positive Signs.), we follow it up with two abject cup […]
I have lost count of the number of times this season I have written about Orient needing to string a run of positive results together and to start to climb the League 1 table. Without getting too carried away, I think on Saturday away at Burton we may just have seen the beginnings of Richie […]
For the opening 45 minutes last Saturday at home to Blackpool, things seemed to be going largely to plan for Orient. While it hadn’t been a first half of too many chances, Aaron Connolly’s stinging low strike midway through, (his 7th league goal of the campaign), had given us the lead at half-time. However right […]
In my post a few weeks back (Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings: A Step in the Right Direction.) after we had just beaten Lincoln City at Brisbane Road, I suggested “what is important now is to put a string of performances and results together, build some momentum, and start to climb what is looking like a congested […]
Well that was thoroughly depressing to watch wasn’t it? Just when we thought Orient might be turning a corner and starting to build some momentum after wins against Lincoln in the league and Tamworth in the cup, we go and put in a “performance” like the capitulation at Wycombe last Saturday lunchtime. Throughout the course […]
I guess probably the best thing we can say about Orient’s win at Tamworth in the first round of the FA Cup, is that we (just about) got through it. Thankfully we didn’t fall victim to another giant-killing in the ilk of Maldon & Tiptree at home (yes I am still bitter, if not downright […]
Well that was a bit more positive wasn’t it? While it wasn’t the most scintillating performance or convincing victory, the most important thing for Orient last Saturday against Lincoln was simply to find a way to win the match. In the last week’s post (Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings: Will the Real Leyton Orient Please Stand Up?), […]
I really don’t know what to make of this current incarnation of Leyton Orient. Last week’s blog post after the 4-0 home win over Doncaster (Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings: Reassurance through Victory for Orient Fans.) focused on the positive signs that suggested that the team was starting to come together, then we had that “performance” and […]
Going into last Saturday’s match at home to Doncaster Rovers there were two main themes occupying the minds of Orient fans. Firstly, what the hell was going on with our defence that had seen us concede the most goals in League 1? Secondly, whether Richie Wellens really was going to abandon us and be lured […]
