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 […]
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 4-2 defeat by automatic-promotion-chasing Northampton Town provided something of a reality check for the recently reinvigorated Orient faithful. Going in at half-time 4-1 down suggests it was our worst performance of the campaign, but it really didn’t feel like that. In fact for a fleeting moment when Jordan Brown scored at the start of […]
After a slight bump in the road at Sutton United, the O’s certainly bounced back to form over the Easter weekend, with an expected and fairly routine home victory over now-relegated Scunthorpe United and a gutsy, determined and hard-fought win at play-off chasing Swindon Town, the only team over which we have done the double […]
After returning to form against Walsall, Orient’s performance a week later against Sutton United, just like the display away at Oldham, was simply not up to the level required. Once again, we seemed to be off the pace and lacking the effort, work rate and attitude required if we are to progress as we all […]
Well, that was a bit more like it! After the capitulation of the much-altered team at Boundary Park last week, the O’s got themselves very much back on track last weekend by securing a win at Walsall with 2 goals in the opening 15 minutes. In the process leapfrogging the Saddlers, as well as Harrogate […]
After two draws followed by three straight victories Orient’s new manager bounce came to something of an abrupt halt on one of Richie Wellens’ old playing and managerial stomping grounds on Tuesday evening. Before focusing on where things may have gone awry at Boundary Park however let’s start with the hard-fought victory over Barrow at […]
Played: 4 Won: 2 Drawn: 2 Lost: 0 Goals For: 7 Goals Against: 2 Points: 8 As I am sure you are all more than fully aware, the above is how Orient’s record reads since Richie Wellens walked through the door at Brisbane Road and with very limited time to work on the training ground […]
