Storm Kathleen in full swing here in Cork
I hope we avoid a power-cut, till after 5pm at least !

No storm or rain here in Western Australia. It’s been nice today. Hoping we can score some goals today. Come on Orient

Disappointing line up, after all that controversy signing Simpson he doesn't even start. What are we going to learn from a sub appearance and a few dead rubber games when both sides are on the beach?

I agree, perfect opportunity to bring in a few fringe players and give them a run of games. I can’t see him learning too much from this lineup

I think they can learn a lot, Simpson been training with the team for the last two months. He’s not played for 8 months so not surprising he’s on the bench. He will get minutes today.
Ok, these matches are not the cauldron of going for a play off, but they’re a lot better than friendliest. Cheltenham are fighting for their life. Quite a few of our remaining matches are against teams with something to play for.
And ultimately it’s O’s choice as to whether Simpson gets a contract for next season or not.

Afternoon chaps.
Wild and windy here.
COYO's

Blimey, odd looking line up.

Afternoon from S Wales. That time of the season to be giving an outing to a few players. COYO's!!!

Again, we’re not offering much going forward . We look like we’re really missing Idris . Need to pull out all the stops in the Summer to bring him here on a permanent basis

Yay.
Galbraith.

Or perhaps someone similar and who might be able to score a few goals for us from mid field .

Seems that player could be Galbraith for the scoring side but need someone to do the dirty work

Obiero's looked tidy.

Been watching Obiero closely and he’s doing well. Listening to Richie as well. Impressive

Yay !
Ollie O'Neill.

This lot are terrible.

HT.
Be nice to get a top half finish.

Can understand Richie’s frustration about this season as there are some really bad sides in this division.

Great half O’s
Obiero looks a good prospect
Gailbraith & Oneil going to be big players for us next season
We have a good base to build from next season.
Let’s hope we sort out the striker situation
COYO’s let’s have another half like the 1st and get our biggest win of the season, we want 4 or 5 as a minimum
Cheltenham are really poor

Not really in doubt is it?

How long you been watching the O's ?

Yay !
3 - 0
Ruel.

We've really not done much at all except score 3 really good goals. I'll take that, mind.

Positive goal difference at last !

3-1
