Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings- A mixed pair of results for the O’s and the small matter of a trip to face one of the division’s big guns.

With nothing much to play for, other than trying to finish the season as well as we can and to try to build some momentum to carry us through the summer and into the 2024/25 campaign, it is difficult to properly assess Orient’s last two performances. Going into the Cheltenham game on the back of […]

Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings- A disappointing Easter for the O’s

The Easter weekend provided two contrasting performances for the O’s, if not results. Away at Lincoln we largely matched the previously free-scoring Imps and were perhaps unlucky to lose, whereas at home to Peterborough on Monday we were our own worst enemy and essentially gifted The Posh two first half goals from which we were […]

Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings- Dealing with Sh**housery 101- Orient show that they can win ugly.

Well that was quite a turn up for the books wasn’t it? To go to Stevenage with a squad depleted by injury, match them physically, frustrate them, and ultimately escape with all three points was not only unexpected but very welcome in the Orient camp. Like most (all?) Orient fans, I am not overly fond […]

Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings- As the season end approaches have Orient hit the “wall”?

After our fantastic run of form following the defeat up at Bolton, things just seem to have gone off the boil a little bit for our O’s. In fact since that cruel defeat at Barnsley, while we have registered three wins in our last seven matches, it is the frustrating defeats at home to Burton […]

Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings- Orient frustrated by another home defeat but we need to remain realistic.

Well wasn’t that just typically Orient? We beat two teams above us, both of whom are very much involved in the play-off push, to start the week and then follow that up with a flat performance and another frustrating defeat against a Bristol Rovers team who really didn’t do very much to trouble us. Before […]

Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings- The O’s bounce back in stunning style and some more positive news on our future.

“So just like that any vague hopes of the O’s making a push for the play-offs were handed a blow by a resolute and organised Burton Albion side.” (Orient Nerd 23rd February 2024) Well doesn’t that just show what I know about football? A week and two impressive wins against teams above us in the […]

Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings- Orient brought back down to earth with a bump.

So just like that any vague hopes of the O’s making a push for the play-offs were handed a blow by a resolute and organised Burton Albion side. The defeat felt frustrating because it seemed like the visitors had come to not be beaten rather than win the match, and despite having 75% of the […]

Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings- A crazy week of football ends on a high for the O’s.

Football eh? What an emotional rollercoaster of a week it’s been for O’s fans. First we had the heartbreak of having what would have been a hugely impressive result at Oakwell snatched away from us having been leading going into the final two minutes; and then on Tuesday evening we were witness to what was […]

Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings- Two more wins for the O’s- is it time to start dreaming about what might be possible?

It’s been a slightly surreal football-watching week for the missus and me. First we introduced a Norwegian football obsessive associate of ours to the delights of a matchday in E10, and then we were among the reported 205 Orient fans to go to Port Vale in the pouring rain last Tuesday evening. Pleasingly both matches […]

Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings- Orient frustrated to be held to a draw at Reading and some late transfer window wheeling and dealing.  

After three highly impressive victories away at Cambridge and Portsmouth and then at home against Bolton, it felt a little bit frustrating to be held to a draw at ongoing crisis club Reading. Maybe I had allowed myself to get carried away thinking we would simply take the game to our opponents, get the goals […]
