Well doesn’t that feel a hell of a lot better. Two home league games, two wins, six points in the bag and we now sit in eighth place in the table a mere point off the playoff places. There is of course a hell of a long way to go in a season that is […]
We all know that Colchester are a good side: having finished sixth last year and earned themselves a place in the play-offs. We also all begrudgingly remember that they were better than us last season beating us 2-1 at their place and 3-1 at Brisbane Road on Boxing Day; but I have to say that […]
In many ways it is difficult to know how to sum up Orient’s last two games. On the face of it two cup defeats in the space of four days should be grounds for disappointment, certainly if you read any of the fan pages on social media you might think the correct response is anger […]

I ended last week’s post wondering how many points Orient might take from two tricky-looking fixtures away from home in the space of just four days (Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings: Like Trump, Orient may have beaten Coronavirus… for now.); while I am far from being apoplectic, I do feel some justification in being a little bit […]
It had to be Orient didn’t it?
