I guess it was kind of inevitable that after a very busy and hectic run of five matches in three weeks, fatigue, both physical and mental, was going to catch up with the squad and we would have to grit our way through a match. There were signs of that at Bristol Rovers on New […]
Well that was all a bit disappointing wasn’t it? After the relative high of the unexpected win at Millwall in the League Cup, Orient fans were brought crashing down to earth by a stagnant performance and 3-0 capitulation at lowly Shrewsbury Town. It is now the O’s that sit bottom of the table, the only […]
