Title: Leyton Orient
Post by: Chris Black come back on January 02, 2023, 07:13:41 am
Lost one home league game all season. 12 games, 10 clean sheets. Only conceded 4 goals at home all season. Oddly only defeat was 1-2 against Newport County when Omar scored the winner, back on 1 October.

We will win this one, if we go in with the same attitude. Look to make a good start, plenty of shots on goal, crosses into the box. The squad is underachieving, should be doing much better. Much better last few games.

It's a free no pressure game, so every reason to go there and make it as uncomfortable for them as possible. Anything other than a loss is a bonus.

Yesterday was excellent preparation for the game. No need to change anything unless DS is forced to.

Richie has done some job there, that’s an incredible record. Fair play.

In that game, Newport attacked from the start, scored two goals in the first 15 minutes and then sat back and just about scraped the win.

I’d like to think that we can start the game on the front foot as we have done in the last two, but defending deep for 75 minutes is not our greatest asset. 

Leyton Orient are by far the best team in this division and should really have beaten us earlier in the season. 

We should go into the game with confidence, but if we manage a point and a good performance I’ll be delighted.

When was it we got thrashed about 6-1 there? 1990s was it maybe.

How hot was it behind that goal first time ever encountered not letting you have top on the bottles

That was a stunningly hot afternoon, BR, but it was a stunning way of letting everyone know we were back in the EFL!

Also, it’s worth noting that Orient have a tough game at Northampton this evening! Could have an influence on their meeting against us.

They have drawn their last 3.
It’s their blip time of the season.
Rovers on the up.
Makes for a good game.

Omar Beckles sent off for Orient
Title: Re: Leyton Orient
Post by: Chris Black come back on January 02, 2023, 05:24:32 pm
They lost 1-0 and only had a single shot on goal. Beckles I think is one of their better players.

Orient were very poor today.

Great time to play them i think. Hope I am saying that at 5.00pm on Sat.

Passed Leo in town on a Saturday afternoon just before Christmas and exchanged nods. Genuinely made my day. What a season that was. Wish I'd have had a quid on him to score a hat trick on that return fixture!

We need to pile more misery on and make it so they lose again. I don’t see them winning the title. If we beat them and they lose their next one we would be ten points behind them, but they would have a far superior goal difference obviously.

I'm not sure that their recent results make much difference. We have a pretty solid record when it comes to ending other teams' winless run.
