Leyton Orient away form 2021/22- Played:23 Won:5 Drawn:11 Lost:7 For:26 Against:25 Diff: +1 Points: 26 The 2-0 win away at Crawley last Saturday concluded Orient’s campaign on the road for this season. The final points total is good enough for 13th place in the “away matches” table, with the slight caveat that if Sutton and/or […]
The problem with drawing just over half of our 19 league games so far, or to put it another way (well this is an Orient Nerd piece after all!) picking up just 49% (28) of the 57 points available so far this season, is that when we face the higher-placed teams, especially away from home, […]
As the legendary baseball player and manager Jogi Berra once famously said: “It’s like déjà vu all over again!”, once again in the space of just 4 days Orient went from winning comfortably at home, at least in the end, to being frustrated by a team lower down the league on our travels. In last […]
Stop me if you heard this one before…Orient go into a game looking like favourites but somehow end up settling for a draw in a match that they seemed more than capable of winning. In many ways this has been the story of the O’s season, at least in the league. The draw at Rochdale […]
After a positive and encouraging start to the season which saw KJ’s newly assembled squad pick up 15 points out of a possible 24, losing just once at home to surprise package Harrogate Town, the good ship Orient seems to have happened upon some choppier waters in recent weeks. The goalless draw at home to […]
Another week and another Orient win, this time on the road. That makes it 4 wins, 3 draws and just a solitary defeat so far, I am sure I speak for all of you reading this when I say that life under KJ has gotten off to a very decent start. As I am sure […]
Hopefully over the course of this campaign the 3 draws that the O’s have secured from their travels to Salford, Carlisle and Newport will prove to be 3 points gained rather than 6 points dropped. Going into the season we were all made fully aware that Salford City were not only the bookies’ favourites for […]
Oops, it looks like I may have overdone it with the optimism in last week’s post (Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings – Very Early Days, but encouraging signs from the O’s (#Jacketball)), a dangerous perspective to have for any Orient fan. After the 3-0 humbling of Exeter it felt very much as if there were positive signs […]
I really don’t know where this came from. This utterly mad idea that I was going to put my ludicrously over-priced Arsenal season ticket on hold and instead spend the money I was wasting at the Emirates on endeavouring to watch all of Leyton Orient’s home matches and as many away ones as I could […]
With a school night trip to Crewe having to be ruled out, albeit reluctantly, we felt we deserved a Saturday awayday to somewhere within our established radius of being no more than an hour by train outside London. So it was to the ‘delightful, picturesque’ (or so we were led to believe by absolutely no […]
