Independent Leyton Orient Forum

The season starts here

1-0 Orient Cox 3 minutes

0-2

Play 2 up front and Ruel down the middle we have a chance. 3-0

So far this season this is the easiest prediction to make. A team just down from the Championship at home up against a National League keeper and a lackadaisical defence minus its best defender. 4-1 to Blackpool. I’m hoping they can cut Shaq Forde out of his plaster of Paris in time so we might be able score a goal .

1-1

Ed Turns dominates our defence

EL Miz secures our midfield

Ruel runs rings around Marvin

350 travelling faithful

Marvin sees Red

Crikey , I forgot we'd be facing Marvin . He should be in for an easy afternoon

Blackpool 3 Orient 0

4-0 defeat
Until our defence is more settled I think we will suffer against tams with big lumps up front
Hope I am wrong - as I usually am

First point of the season - as long as the match is on. Overnight rain might have the final say - at leasy another week to get some players nearer to fitness.

Difficult one this. We showed signs of life against Wycombe albeit they were poor and we still lost. Our loss against Charlton doesn’t hold up as they have lost there next two games. I fancy our first points to come against Cambridge. Blackpool 2 orient 1.

Blackpool Town 1, Leyton Orient 1.

They haven’t conceded a goal yet.

1-0 Blackpool. We have majority of possession but only get one good chance direct from a corner.

Would love to be wrong.

Blackpool 5 Orient 0

Pool 1 Orient 1

3-1 defeat

After RW being let off the hook, I amend my prediction to Blackpool 0 Orient 1 ( if the management team keep cool heads & focused on the job ).

I can’t see it being more settled until Brynn returns and we sign another defender. Until then I expect more of the same from our misfiring defence.

Mate , I love your optimism . We can’t defend properly.

A team just down from the Championship, against a team with the worst defence in the league, who leak goals for fun......not hard to predict.
3-0 to Blackpool. ( At Least)

Blackpool 0-1 O's

Blackpool 1-2 Leyton Orient. Archibald & Pigott to score.

Blackpool 3 - 1 Leyton Orient
Too much for our defence to handle but another goal on the board provides some hope

I will miss this one, so we will obviously win.

2-0

Ruel and Pigott.

I'm watching this on a mates dodgy stream , I fully expect us to get thrashed ( just hope I'm wrong )
