If we get promoted and even if we’re in the play offs there is a good chance that RW would be poached. Such is life as an Orient fan. Damned if you do damned if you don’t.

He's staying, will be in the Prem in 3 years, then he might go to Manure

I think that this is our highest league position since 2013/14 season. A tremendous effort from the players & the management team.
I think that if we have reasonable luck with injuries then we have a great chance of making the play offs. A top 2 place is out of reach.
And Ollie & both Dan's to come back.
Unfortunately, I'm on call so will have to leave the celebratory drink until tomorrow evening.

14 points off automatic with a game in hand.
Yes, too much to make up, unfortunately

I''m not only delighted with the win today but also by the way we played . On first impressions I really like our two new signings . Both very lively and we looked very threatening every time we came forward . I thought Reading played well today and are a good side but I can't remember them having a single shot during the whole game . All Kelley had to do was the bread and butter stuff . With being only one point outside the play offs maybe now is the time to roll the dice and pay the price for that striker we're after . We now have a fantastic chance of achieving something this season and I couldn't be happier with Richie and all our players . Well done Orient .

Edit . I forgot to mention Darren Pratley . Even at nearly 40 I thought he was outstanding today . Well done Darren .

Oddly this does feel like it is our moment to go up this is going to be it, the loan signings are quality, Pratley performing miracles with his age, this season does have a bit of now is our time and if it isn't, could be waiting more years

Donley is utter class and McKanday has far more movement than Perkins, totally different footballer

What makes you think that?

What a great few hours, few beers O's winning again
Splendid stuff.

This.

Our play going forward is not L1 level. An absolute joy to watch us at times. And 2 of the front 4 have only been here 5 minutes and not even unpacked their suitcases.

If we can stay injury free ish and conclude our business well next week, the second half of the season is going to be so good.

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

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 !

It’s getting better Sid

Yes going great guns tonight but still the same question, 5 of the first 11 are loan players, 2 from Spurs and the other 3 from Championship teams.

Lets hope that the injuries don't mout up

Give it a f*cking rest. We just scored 6 away from home and are unbeaten in 11, winning 9. Who gives a sh*t where the players are from.
Enjoy the moment

We plan to bring in some more players when their 1 year loan deals are up.

Admire the commitment to unrelenting negativity.

Rejoice in the fact that Leyton Orient, under Richie Wellens is a place that young players will improve very quickly, and therefore we will loan talented players that will progress us up the league.
We are at the point that we can make players Premiership ready in my opinion.

Enjoy the moment and think of the future when these very good five loan players are not here come next season as may well be the case with Ethan Galbraith and Dan Agyei.
