Gave it our all

Roll on next year

Mugged twice by Lincoln. Sometimes life isn't fair

Too many injuries to our strike force has cost us today

Been over for 3 weeks. The Stevenage win just gave us something to clutch at. 1 point from 9 before that cost us & that's down to a squad barely holding together due to injury

Exactly . If we had Graham and Agyei fit I'm fairly sure we would have made the play offs .We also need an upgrade to our number 9.

Yep. Start planning for 24/25.

We can still have a say about what happens top and bottom…

I was thinking of Theo as well, that’s a whole forward line missing

Absolutely this .

May as well start experimenting with the squad though there aren't even many options to do that with

Simpson come in at CB soon as ban is done

Sweeney at LB to show whether he's worth persisting with at L1 level or loan out next season

Galbraith start in CM for rest of season

Adu-Agyei start upfront see if he's worth bringing back next season as a cheap extra attacker. Seems Edwards has been written off as too raw by looks of it.

Yes , my bad . I forgot about Theo who's also been a massive miss .

It was over in January when we failed in getting a decent striker in.

In January we won 3 & drew 1 against Cambridge Portsmouth Bolton & Reading respectively.

Season is literally over for El Mizouni it seems according to RW in his after match interview.

We should try to finish top 10. Still a lot to play for.

I was just thinking , I’ve read or heard on more than two or three times this season where the opposition had only one, two or three shots on target and scored with them . That’s the difference with having decent strikers in your team. That’s not to have a dig at Orient because look at the difference Dan Agyei made to the team when he came back from injury. We’ve missed him terribly along with Graham and Archibald. Ollie O’Nail and Shaq Forde have done extremely well for us but because of injuries to other players they have been overworked . The people on here who said our failure to sign a decent striker in January would come back to bite us on the arse have been proven correct

Agreed with this. Not all at once obviously.

I definitely think Dan Adjei 2 is worth a go next season. Glad to see the penny has dropped with Edwards.

We really have had shocking luck with injuries this season and overall the squad has done well to finish above half way.
If we had Theo, Agyei and Graham playing v Lincoln we would have won as I thought Lincoln were really average at best.
Plus Dan Happes injury, hopefully next season will be better.

The amount of tickets gone on resale for tomorrow!

Not enough goals from midfield imo as well as upfront. Club has bought in decent midfielders but none for an eye for goal. Moncur and Pigott have to go, maybe a few others. Summer will be interesting but not holding my breath for early signings.

Just counted, there’s 38 in the whole ground.

I would persevere with Moncur . I know he can be frustrating but the man has talent to burn. Pigott on the other hand can go . He's not the number 9 we need . There is probably a good player in there somewhere but for whatever reason things just haven't worked out for him at Orient . He needs a fresh start somewhere else and we need a new number 9.

Problem is both have another year to go I think and I don’t see many clubs lining up to take of them.
Moncur has been better of late but Pigott simply isn’t good enough.

Is it really over? What if we close the gap today?
