I would be a little disappointed if we didn't finish first considering we've been top for so long.

I am starting to wonder if the chasing pack have let us go and for instance Stevenage are more interested in matching 4th place results than looking at what we are doing.

Talking of Stevenage, read that they have had to bring in an emergency keeper as Jokull Andresson that they brought in due to injuries was injured Tuesday night.

Of course not. They had a big couple of weeks physically and mentally with the cup games then playing us, and it's taken it's toll/hasn't been managed well.

Top three will do for me, winning the league is a bonus as far I'm concerned.

Hopefully he'll be their Shwan Jalal.

Toby Savin is a *great* name for a goalkeeper.

These emergency loans annoy me a bit. What happened to the days of just sticking a kid in for a game or two?

I would be a bit disappointed if we didn't now win the league but would be happy enough with 2nd or 3rd.

Having being top for so long personally I would feel a little bit disappointed . However the overriding priority is promotion so if that's achieved that's the main thing.

How much more money do we get for winning the League than if we finish 2 or 3.

Given I have only seen Orient lift one trophy in my lifetime (the Copa Ibiza doesn't count) I will be gutted if we don't win the league.
There, I said it.

I've never seen us lift any trophies because of our imbecilic fan base but let's not do that one again.

Of course any promotion is good, but to top the league is the icing on the cake, and goes into the history books:

Season 2022/23 Division two champions, Leyton Orient.
How good does that sound ?..say no more.

Having led the field for so long and seen so many let-downs over the years, I will be disappointed if we do not finish as league champions. Also, always aim for top position, so that if we fall short, second and third places are there as a very welcome consolation. However, if we aim for a top three place and fall short, we might miss-out.

Promotion is all that counts as far as I'm concerned.
Forest green were champions last season and they're bottom of the league now.
Exeter were runners up, and are doing well in mid table.
Being champions is nice, but promotion is the goal

Ok. What I was going to go on and say was that if there was a significant difference between 1and and 2, the club could have offered up the difference to the players as a bonus. Just to spur them on.

Well I booked Wembley Travelodge for the Play Off Final last August, so hoping I don't lose my 69 pounds.

Exactly. I think we will finish top three. I am more worried about holding onto our players (manager) for next season. Forest Green lost their manager and looked what happened to them. I am struggling to see how it’ll be possible to hold of El Mizouni. He is the beating heart of our team.

Hoping we win the league, be nice to reward everyone involved in this incredible season with some much deserved and well overdue silverware!
Plus on a selfish note, I had £20 on us at 12/1 😉
