Lot of Ifs in that. Never trust an IfBandy Legs wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2025 6:55 am Win our game in hand on wrexham & beat them away we'd only be 5 points behind them.
Still not sure if Wycombe losing Bloomfield will mean they fade away. Wrexham are crap away from home
Huddersfield are strange. Dropped points for fun then 16 unbeaten & lose today.
A big if but are automatics totally out of the question should we keep winning?

on and when we get Agyei & O’Neil back, we will be unstoppable and auto promotion is also a real possibility.
I agree . With our two new January signings and hopefully the striker we want we have given ourselves a tremendous chance. To use that old cliche , take one game at a time and see where we end up. In my opinion, automatic promotion is still a possibility .Stan1972 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2025 11:07 am Play Off Final v Wrexham 88/89 at Brizzy
Still my fav ever Orient game
I can still see Lee Harvey’s and Super Coopers goals if I close my eyes, what a day.
A young Kevin Campbell was amazing on loan and was in stand watching.
Orient legend Alan Comfort's last game in an O’s shirt, before flying off in a helicopter to get married and join Mboro.
(Should have stayed Alan)
I honestly did not think before the Oldham game, we would stay in L1, let alone talk off making play offs, but the transformation in this team since that game has been incredible.
I now watch our games, thinking we only have to score and we will get 3 points, as defensively we are solid and don’t look like conceding a goal.
Playoffs areon and when we get Agyei & O’Neil back, we will be unstoppable and auto promotion is also a real possibility.
In RW we trust
just without hemming and his errors we would have:
True but in the flip side, no Keeley and certainly no FA Cup 4th round tie. It’s sorted and we’re moving on in a most positive way.DelightInE10 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 10:22 pmjust without hemming and his errors we would have:
beat Bolton
beat brum
drew charlton
we would be 4th in the league and that is not mentioning the confidence we would have had in other games we didnt get a result in
.... and pip Huddersfield for 2nd place on the last day of the season.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 4:00 pmI agree .

Got there; 6th place and 1.789 points per game now required for 78 points. Next target?Orient Punxx wrote: ↑Thu Dec 05, 2024 1:18 pm 78 points should do it. 60 points required from 29 games. 2.07 points per game but assuming we win our next 6 then a far more manageable 1.83 for the 2nd half of the season. Barring injuries on our way to the EFL Trophy and 6th round of the FA Cup I’m feeling fairly confident. Up the Os!
We are playing well but Beckles and Clare both have injuries that will keep them out of the squad for a few weeks at least. We cannot keep up the pace with so many injuries. RW must be please with the win but gutted with the injuries to 2 key players
We’ve done alright without Graham, Theo, ageyi, o’neill, Clare previously, James, Happe, etc…moonwalk19 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2025 10:06 pmWe are playing well but Beckles and Clare both have injuries that will keep them out of the squad for a few weeks at least.

I like Clare a lot but can hardly call him a key player, he’s missed the last 3 months.moonwalk19 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2025 10:06 pmWe are playing well but Beckles and Clare both have injuries that will keep them out of the squad for a few weeks at least.

Beckles has been a key player for us and that`s why he`s not been restedHoover Attack wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2025 11:05 pmI like Clare a lot but can hardly call him a key player, he’s missed the last 3 months.moonwalk19 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2025 10:06 pmWe are playing well but Beckles and Clare both have injuries that will keep them out of the squad for a few weeks at least.

Beckles is a massive blow. Need to ask questions why he’s never been rested when we’ve had the chance.
Let’s enjoy the moment, RW has made some good calls this season.

Probably the position least likely to need a rest in, other than keeper. He played basically every game in our promotion season, only missed games through suspension. You aren't dropping your best player during an incredible run.Hoover Attack wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2025 11:05 pmI like Clare a lot but can hardly call him a key player, he’s missed the last 3 months.moonwalk19 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2025 10:06 pmWe are playing well but Beckles and Clare both have injuries that will keep them out of the squad for a few weeks at least.
