gone off injured ffs

We are really f*cking good. These teams are strong playoff contenders with better budgets and we make them look ordinary.

It turned out Donley did indeed need a kick up the backside (RW mentioned it in an interview). Keeley has been a revelation and no-one anywhere had "keeper scores a 99th minute header to turn the season around" in their predictions or views of what would change.

Hemming was useless and as Travis said would happen was sent back. Perkins and Donley were likely in the same boat at that time but improved their game.

The fitness levels appear to have increased which the club seem to have partly put down to the new nutrition coach / chef.

As said at the time the run of games against the relegation fodders would define the direction of the season. Fortunately we put them all away and now looking upward not downward.

Barnsley 1 down

Barnsley conceded in injury time

Win our game in hand we are in the play off positions and I for one am sh*tting myself.

FT great result, done Justin proud out there today O's

Great win & always love a clean sheet.
Well done boys. The run continues.

Yes!!! Another double, clean sheet and a great performance. Well done O's 7th !!!!

Charlton score in last minute or would have been just about the perfect day. Can we catch Wycombe!

In our last 13 league games we’ve had 11 clean sheets and 9 in the last 10. That’s insane.

Another great win , onwards and upwards.

Yes he is doing well, but what happens end of season when all these loan players leave ?
Panic would set in IF we did manage to gain promotion with them all going plus perhaps also Dan A and Galbraith going too !

If we got promoted we would buy them and increase contract offers.

We could NOT afford to buy ALL the players we have on loan, let alone even afford the wages their parent clubs currently pay them. To mention just one player alone, Currie cost Oxford United an alleged One Million pounds transfer fee to get him from Wimbledon.

Not all of them Sidney and if not we will take them on loan, step up as loan plalayers for them in Ling we trust, you’re a half glass empty person aren’t you Sidney try and cheer up, can’t wait for your comments on here when we lose

This. Reading clearly decent and we shut them down in second half. I'm normally a nervy fan even if we're 2 or 3 up, and felt completely relaxed today. Never looked like throwing it.

New signings looked excellent. Beckles is hands down player of the season so far, he's putting in standout games every week.

I am impressed. Well done Orient. Let`s enjoy it as long as we can .

And it’s been a mixed defence as well with injuries to Happe / TJ / Simpson at different times. Shows how well they are drilled as a unit that they can chop and change and continue to keep so organised and tight.

It’s hilarious Man City have transferred in Khusanov and Marmoush , we have Abdulai and Markanandy Only 100 million difference, up the O’s

Roll on Exeter Tuesday

Also what a big difference having a solid keeper makes

I am just being practical and down to earth. We face losing 7 key players ( not too fussed about Perkins ) in 5 very good loan players plus Galbraith and Dan A and moneys too tight too mention to buy in quality replacements, we shall see how it all pans out..... so enjoy this run while we are on it !

Yes enjoy him and the other loan players while we can !

Only conceding two goals in the last 10 league matches is ridiculous. Incredible effort by the squad.

All without spending money on a forward n'all.
