Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Highs:
Salford first game - Huge relief when the deserved equaliser went in
Bromley home come back against that sh*t heap of a team
Wrexham home. Not the best game but ground out a result when previous years we would have tripped up.
Maidstone away, first win of the season, packed away end, decent atmosphere.
Saturday, obvs.

Lows:
Not reaching the first round of the FA Cup
Salford at home...huge game and we collapsed within 10 minutes
First 70 odd minutes at Sutton away. Horrible.
Bromley away. Rough performance, embarrassed in front of work mates yet again.
Dagenham away. Boxing day. Winning with 15 mins left and lost. sh*t hole.

Highs: Wrexham away, especially the moment when Brophy lobbed their keeper for the second. Sutton away for the 90th minute madness. Solihull away for the moment Salford's result came through. Bromley at home, everything about that day was perfect from the remembrance to Koroma's goal and celebration (and Porter's subsequent booking), topped off by seeing The Greater Game that evening.

Lows: Maidenhead and Salford at home, Dagenham away. O's fans wrangling at each other over various things despite it being one of the best seasons ever.

The biggest High of the season?

Knowing that the back office staff, who had suffered greatly at HIS hands, were rewarded for their loyalty with modest but ooooh so beautiful silverware. Hopefully some of the previous pain will now be expunged.

90th minute at Sutton, 1-1, down to ten men ( I am sitting in the Sutton main stand with my Cousin and his wife sitting amongst Sutton supporters !! )
Dayton had been carried off injured, also given red card, so bizzare !! Anyway this is as I saw it........Sutton keeper receives the ball, does a couple of ''Keepy Uppies'' ( why would he do that ? ) Bonne and Harrold run in, keeper loses the ball, ball hits the post, goalkeeper and I think Bonne go down !!
What happens now ? Foul on the keeper, play on etc ? OMG......penalty given to the OS in the 90th minute !! Nerves jangling as Bonne takes it, will he miss it or will he score ? YES he scores and I have to not show too much celebration as surrounded by Sutton fans, meanwhile elsewhere the ground Os fans erupt !! Last couple of minutes are so tense, final whistle blows, what joy !! That was a really vital 3 points as it turned out !!

I think at Wrexham (2-0!!!!) I really started to believe that the improbable was possible. Bolstered by the someone on their fan pages who said “we’ve just lost to the champions”.

You've reminded me that as we came out the ground, the Wrexham fans we passed were complimentary and said we were going up. I told them I hoped they would join us, and still do.

Yes, AP, Wrexham have been NL for too long.

Question: anybody have a link to somewhere that shows our table position plotted each week throughout the season ... and yes I know where we were after 46 match ... Champi-OOO-nees
