After the previous week’s defeat at the hands of an old foe in the form of Stevenage, and to a lesser extent the shambolic loss to Gillingham in the Pizza Cup (EFL Trophy), it is probably fair to say that you would have been hard pushed to find an O’s fan going into the away […]
Well that felt like a bit of a kick in the teeth didn’t it? After such a highly convincing performance and result against Cambridge just seven days previously, falling to defeat against a Stevenage side from whom we should have known exactly what to expect, was beyond frustrating. We started the game positively enough and […]
Well doesn’t that feel a whole lot better! While it’s still very early days in the 2023/24 season, Orient’s 2-0 win over Cambridge United last Saturday felt more important than simply securing our first win and first three points of the fledgling campaign. While I wasn’t necessarily worried per se about how we were adjusting […]
Usually a goalless draw feels a little bit underwhelming, however, for me at least, last Saturday’s result at Blackpool coming on the back of opening our goalscoring account for the season and being very unlucky not to get something out of the game at Wycombe, felt more like a (admittedly small) step in the right […]
Three games played, three defeats and we still haven’t managed to win a single point on our return to League 1. On top of that the injury list continues to mount, (to the point where we nearly have a full eleven in the treatment room), and the manager and one of his assistants will now, […]
After a hiatus of just under three months, it felt very much as if the Orient faithful were chomping at the bit for our lads to get back into action and to see how we would fare in the new League 1 campaign. A notion that was certainly reflected in the whopping 3,122 O’s fans […]
Greetings and happy new season one and all! How have we all coped with the Orient-less void that normal people like to call “summer”? After carrying on the celebrations following a second title-winning season in six years for a good few weeks, including going to the League 2 Play-Off final to see which would be […]
In the end the O’s couldn’t quite raise their game enough against a decent Stockport side who remain very much in the hunt to join us in League One next year last Saturday; but being brutally honest, I am struggling to be even slightly down about it. Seeing the O’s lift the trophy as champions […]
Originally, as I normally do when the O’s are in the two games in a week routine, I was planning to write about Saturday’s goalless draw at home to Colchester United within the context of what had happened up in Cumbria in the rearranged fixture against Carlisle. However as we are all too aware, first […]
One of, if not the most frustrating things about the suspension of football due to the Coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent lockdown of life as we once knew it, is perhaps the uncertainty of what football might look like when (if?) it comes back. This is especially true for those of us who are used […]
