We've blown the chance of putting promotion to bed early and having a stress-free run-in, that's not to say we won't do it but it looks like it's going to be a typical Orient "never do it the easy way" rather than sprinting to the finish in style.

When we had the issues at end of December / January the concern was squad depth, whereas at the moment there seems to be either complacency or nerves where we're throwing points away.

It's a habit Wellens needs to snap the players out of sharpish, done too much good work to let it slip through sloppiness and lack of focus.

What on earth is everyone talking about?

We're unbeaten in 8, we need 9 points from the last 10 games to secure a top 3 finish.

Yes the draw yesterday was gutting but calm the f*** down people, we are going up, just get behind the team and stop the moaning and the negativity, it's contagious...

As an O's fan why would you expect EASY anything ?

Want to see the club break that hoodoo and get the job done with room to spare.

We will win at Hartlepool on Sat, to continue and extend the unbeaten run to 9, what’s all the panic about 🤔
Stevenage will lose at home v Salford
Carlisle will lose away to Gills
Our lead at the top of L2 will be 9 points with 9 games to play.
COYO’s
In RW we trust

I’m very pleased that basically 80% of my original post was nonsense that never happened.

Happy to have egg on my face as it means we’re champions!
