Honestly, I think if the supporters were more positive in general it would help the team and improve the general atmosphere around the club.

Happy-think the boys to promotion.

There’s a lot of unfair criticism flying about and stupidity, like people saying they’d only renew because they thought Orient would do well but the club needs to be held accountable as well.

The assumption that people that don't moan are happy is unfounded, many just choose not to sprout negativity for no useful purpose. What bollocks in particular are the board throwing our way.

Don't you people get tired of the endless negativity?

We've had some training injuries pre-season and a couple of poor showings, frustrating, but not the first club that's ever happened to.

We managed to re-sign some absolutely quality league 2 players: Tom James is ludicrous for this level, Ruel is hungry and exciting to watch, he'll bang in at least 15 this season. Archi was superb last season and now he's a permanent signing. Thompson is another very solid league 2 defender. Moncur, on paper, looks an incredible signing covering the midfield weakness we've all been aware of for years.
Not to mention we've got some extremely solid players across the pitch, Vigs, Beckles, Ogie, Smyth is unplayable when fit, Drinan and Smith are without a doubt good/very good league 2 strikers on their day. I think there's definitely a player in Brown. Clay is *fine*, Wood is perfectly capable. Etc, etc.

And we've got Wellens, a proven attacking manager who finished last season impeccably - sure he seemed frustrated in the interview but injuries do that, and he seems like he loves a moan anyway (in a good way).

It's like the doomsayers think we should be top of the league from day 1 and stay there until the end of the season - there are clubs in league 2 with bigger budgets than us, more fans, more money, better youth academies. Get over it. It feels like some of you don;t even support the club, you just come on here to post your bleak, wanky sludge and then crawl back into your caves - I highly doubt some of the prime culprits on here have been to an away game since Oxford.

All in all we're well set for a strong season - there's 46 games to go, players will get injured and you don't always sign the players on your shortlist, that's football.

Honestly, I think if the supporters were more positive in general it would help the team and improve the general atmosphere around the club.

I know it's not everyone moaning, but fk me, I avoid this board most days because the moaning and the crying is infectious and it saps the joy from supporting the club.

Get behind the Orient ffs.

Really made me laugh
Someone moaning at great length, almost preaching a sermon about fellow posters who they dont like and disagree with because they moan to much
Got to be a wind up
Contradiction or what

“A meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged”

If people have gripes about the club, why shouldn’t they voice it on here? The people saying stupid sh*t directly at players, staff and board by @ing them on social media or emailing them are pathetic and shouldn’t do that. Questioning where the season tickets are, where the new ticketing system is, where the kits are, where the new players are, where the communication is etc 2 weeks before the season starts is absolutely fine and should be encouraged.

If you aren’t bothered about those things or are choosing to not question them, then how much do you care about the club? Were you saying the same thing about Bechetti? When all of his decisions went unchecked at the start?

Any PR waffle that Nigel Travis/Kent Teague gets wheeled out to say when fans are getting pissed off. This 6 year plan that included getting rid of nearly all of your squad most of the way through it.

Equally, you will always get some people who refuse to accept the negatives and refuse to accept any criticism levelled at the club.

The truth is somewhere in the middle. Our starting 11 is very, very close to being exceptional. We’re just lacking a first choice CDM and some adequate cover, otherwise injuries and suspensions are going to hamper us.

The other stuff going wrong - season tickets, replica kit - is secondary. No one is going to care about any of that if we have a successful team.
