Another fantastic result. Well done Orient. Actually the play offs are now a real possibility. Ollie O’Neil , what a find he’s been. Fantastic stuff.

Re: Exiles Thread.
Both teams looked shagged by the end but a deserved win. ONeil is an absolute star, might be signing of the season.
Surely we can't..

Probably not, buts it’s a great feeling isn’t it to have our club back where it belongs, on the up.Mistadobalina wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 9:54 pm Both teams looked shagged by the end but a deserved win. ONeil is an absolute star, might be signing of the season.

Re: Exiles Thread.
Did the dirty side of the game really well tonight - defended from the front and took a lot of pressure off, even in the seven added minutes we never really looked like conceding, only downside was El Miz booking now out for two games.

Re: Exiles Thread.
I’m delighted to have achieved our main objective to stabilise the club in League One with guaranteed League One football next season . Now we’ve achieved that, just keep going and see where we can end up . The play offs are now a real possibility . I couldn’t be more delighted with Richie and all our players. Well done Orient.

Re: Exiles Thread.
Agree, he brings so much to the team. Opportunity for the others to step in - Galbraith, Sanders. Maybe the rest won’t do him any harm before the run in.

Re: Exiles Thread.
Yes, since that Burton defeat they then lost at home to Northampton and lost at home again tonight to rock bottom Carlisle..funny old game.

Re: Exiles Thread.
I thought our players looked tired after two extremely tough games in the second half against Burton . Anyway, that’s just the way it goes. We were never going to go the rest of the season unbeaten. However our response from that defeat has been brilliant.Chief crazy horse wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 10:20 pmYes, since that Burton defeat they then lost at home to Northampton and lost at home again tonight to rock bottom Carlisle..funny old game.

Re: Exiles Thread.
Heroic defending tonight. They were chucking long balls down James’s throat for about 10 minutes straight at the end there and he won basically every header against some proper lumps as well.
Having Darren Pratley to come on for 10 mins to see out a game like that is such an advantage.
As for O’Neil, proper good find he is turning out to be. I’m just praying he doesn’t get injured.

Great News El Miz only has nine league bookings (plus one in the cup) Available for Saturday.

Is this true? The way he reacted after being booked was as though he knew he was out.Top of the JES wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 10:54 pm Great News El Miz only has nine league bookings (plus one in the cup) Available for Saturday.

Beckles was outstanding tonight, doing all the ‘dirty’ things like winning header after header etcTop of the JES wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 10:04 pm Did the dirty side of the game really well tonight - defended from the front and took a lot of pressure off, even in the seven added minutes we never really looked like conceding, only downside was El Miz booking now out for two games.

Re: Exiles Thread.
Another really enjoyable game to watch with both teams giving it a proper go.
I know ONeill had some time in Ireland but to think these are his first few professional games and he’s already bossing L1. Best January signing ever.

I thought Cooper was better to be honest but Beckles was very good.Cheshunto wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 11:06 pmBeckles was outstanding tonight, doing all the ‘dirty’ things like winning header after header etcTop of the JES wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 10:04 pm Did the dirty side of the game really well tonight - defended from the front and took a lot of pressure off, even in the seven added minutes we never really looked like conceding, only downside was El Miz booking now out for two games.

Re: Exiles Thread.
Totally agreed. Defensively superb. Brynn didn’t have a single save to make. That’s ridiculous.Cheshunto wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 11:06 pmBeckles was outstanding tonight, doing all the ‘dirty’ things like winning header after header etcTop of the JES wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 10:04 pm Did the dirty side of the game really well tonight - defended from the front and took a lot of pressure off, even in the seven added minutes we never really looked like conceding, only downside was El Miz booking now out for two games.
Just a shame about some of his passes and clearances

Re: Exiles Thread.
This is deliberate. He knows he’s not going to out jump guys he’s giving away 5 or 6 inches to, so instead tries to knock them off balance and generally be as awkward as possible.
I thought his hold up play against two lumps was excellent tonight.
