Another match, another hard-fought win, and Orient stay top of the table with a lead that has stretched to 4 points. Far too early to get in any way carried away, but I for one could get used to this. In truth the match at home to Walsall wasn’t too much a of spectacle save […]
The one thing that I think we have all learnt from both an Orient-supporting and worldwide perspective over the last few years is to expect the unexpected. The last time I penned (keyed?) these musings the missus and I were off to New York City on a baseball-related adventure to see if the New York […]
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 […]
It’s always nice to start the season with a win, and the fact that we were able to do so in fairly comfortable fashion in front of a reported Brisbane Road crowd of more than 8,500, thanks to the discount ticket promotion, that those in attendance witnessed Orient convert their first penalty in a league […]
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 […]
