Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings- That’s a Wrap for the 2023/24 Season.

So jut like that another season is over, the final match of our campaign establishing ourselves back in the third tier took us to Shrewsbury. In their infinite “wisdom” the powers that be at the EFL had deigned to make all League One games kick off at 12:30pm, so it meant a very early start […]

Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings- Well, that was all a bit disappointing wasn’t it?

When the fixtures for this season were announced back in June, I suspect I was far from alone in earmarking the away game at Derby (along with Burton, Portsmouth and Barnsley) as the standout away trips. Maybe it was the fact that our injury-addled squad really has nothing to play for, as well as another […]

Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings- When there’s no Orient fixture at the weekend…

Armed with the advance knowledge that Orient’s game against Exeter had been postponed due to international call-ups, the missus and I wasted no time whatsoever in booking ourselves a long weekend in Barcelona. It was the first place we had been to together on holiday, and a city that we have revisited on several occasions […]

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- 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 […]

Breaking News: New Orient Book hits the Shelves!!!

After two and a half seasons (for that is how us hopeless football obsessives measure time!) of dedicated work, I am very pleased to announce that my book detailing my decision to put my ludicrously over-priced Arsenal season ticket on hold and to follow Leyton Orient all over the country, has now finally been published. […]

Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings- Orient stage a very late escape but we desperately need to re-find our attacking mojo, and quickly.

Football eh? Even nearly a full week later I am still trying to get my head round what happened at Whaddon Road last Saturday. For the first hour plus of the match against Cheltenham Orient were utterly abysmal. If we thought the performance against Chesterfield in the FA Cup was bad, this was even worse, […]

Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings- The Final Awayday (for now???) featuring the “Easy Lovers”

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 […]

Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings- Orient given a reality check at Ice Station Sixfields

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, […]
