Usually a goalless draw feels a little bit underwhelming, however, for me at least, last Saturday’s result at Blackpool coming on the back of opening our goalscoring account for the season and being very unlucky not to get something out of the game at Wycombe, felt more like a (admittedly small) step in the right […]
Three games played, three defeats and we still haven’t managed to win a single point on our return to League 1. On top of that the injury list continues to mount, (to the point where we nearly have a full eleven in the treatment room), and the manager and one of his assistants will now, […]
After a hiatus of just under three months, it felt very much as if the Orient faithful were chomping at the bit for our lads to get back into action and to see how we would fare in the new League 1 campaign. A notion that was certainly reflected in the whopping 3,122 O’s fans […]
Greetings and happy new season one and all! How have we all coped with the Orient-less void that normal people like to call “summer”? After carrying on the celebrations following a second title-winning season in six years for a good few weeks, including going to the League 2 Play-Off final to see which would be […]
The final whistle at Valley Parade on Monday brought to an end the 2022/23 season, a campaign that will live long in the memories of the Orient faithful. Before we get into reminiscing about the season we have just had, I have to say that I am a huge fan of Valley Parade and Bradford […]
In the end the O’s couldn’t quite raise their game enough against a decent Stockport side who remain very much in the hunt to join us in League One next year last Saturday; but being brutally honest, I am struggling to be even slightly down about it. Seeing the O’s lift the trophy as champions […]
Why were we even worried that after securing promotion at Gillingham last Tuesday the O’s wouldn’t go on and win the league title to cap off what has been a truly remarkable season? The fact that we did so in the very next game, and thanks to Stevenage losing once again (hooray hooray!), merely added […]
Well, that was a very fun four days wasn’t it? Have we all recovered yet? Are we all ready to carry on the party at Brisbane Road tomorrow? Normally during these weekly posts, I try to analyse and understand how the O’s have been performing and to look forward to and preview upcoming matches, however […]
Going into the Easter weekend and the usual schedule of two matches in quick succession, there can’t have been too many Orient fans that wouldn’t have accepted 4 points out of 6 as being a decent return. However, the fact that we followed up the fairly comprehensive win over Salford City at their place by […]
Despite the fact that we had to rely on a very late and fortunate own goal and a crucial and even later defensive intervention from Omar Beckles, Saturday’s win over Carlisle United felt like a massive step forward for the O’s in our quest to reach the promised land of League 1. The fact that […]
