Great result and don't often say that with a draw. Encouraged by the number of attempts today. Well done O's!!!
Re: Exiles thread - Walsall (A)
Played well and deserved a draw. Great goal by Turns.
I thought we got the ball forward really well at times today, seemed to play with a lot more tempo than in recent games.

A draw that feels like a win, important to keep this little unbeaten run going plus Stevenage losing is a good day for us.

El Miz is a giant for us. What a player
Im happy with a point, though we could have won it in the last 5 mins

Another great result for us, bonus of Stevenage and Salford losing too, with Carlisle and Northampton drawing.

Re: Exiles thread - Walsall (A)
Yes a good result and a great goal, might as well put Turns up front because Drinnan and Kelman couldn’t score in a brothel

I hope Bradford don't play as well in that game as they did today .Orient_Man_And_Boy wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 5:07 pm My trip to Bradford has been sanctioned by Mrs OMB

Re: Exiles thread - Walsall (A)
So far this season the only disappointment has been the virtual no show from our strikers . Surely sooner or later one of them will start scoring again . Apart from that I'm extremely happy with the way our season is going . Only 15 games to go and it's now feeling like the final run-in has started . We need another big three points against Rochdale on Tuesday night .Monkey Boy wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 5:07 pm Yes a good result and a great goal, might as well put Turns up front because Drinnan and Kelman couldn’t score in a brothel

Re: Exiles thread - Walsall (A)
In tinpot NL. Also the squad does seem a happier place since he left. Coincidence?

Re: Exiles thread - Walsall (A)
Tinpot NL, one division below us. Not exactly a huge difference. I’ve also no idea how you’ve worked out the squad happiness rating, do you have inside info? I can’t see how anyone can disagree that both our strikers have been absolute dogshit this season, at least Smith made an effort.

He's coming out from a very frustrating time so has the bit between his teeth . Great start to his Barnet loan spell and I hope it continues for him . Well done Harry .Story of O wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 5:18 pmHis debut was on Tuesday and he scored. So that's 3 in 2

Re: Exiles thread - Walsall (A)
''might as well put Turns up front '' Funny, seconds ago I was just thinking much the same thoughts !! Yes young Turns does seem like he has an eye for goal, something really lacking in the Os side at present !Monkey Boy wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 5:07 pm Yes a good result and a great goal, might as well put Turns up front because Drinnan and Kelman couldn’t score in a brothel

I would say there is virtually no difference in standard between the top eight teams in the National League and most teams in League two .Stowaway wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 5:23 pmTinpot NL, one division below us.

Re: Exiles thread - Walsall (A)
It was tinpot when we had the misfortune to be down there and still is today. Awful league where awful football is played officiated by awful refs.Stowaway wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 5:23 pmTinpot NL, one division below us. Not exactly a huge difference.

Last few games the squad are back at the workrate and commitment of before. Just seem more themselves. Could be down to many things though I think Smith finally being moved on has had a positive effect. Given what's out there about his previous issues and the negative attitude he displayed at the start of this season it's one player I was very happy to see leaving Orient.
