Given cup runs are not going to happen and it's unlikely that Orient will be Champions.

What would it take in terms of league position for you to rate the season as having been a success?


I have always said that avoiding relegation would mean season was a success for me. I would like to think Orient could get into top half of table though

Not getting relegated. Recent results though proves that could be a close run thing. Hopefully we can get an unbeaten run going starting at Oldham tomorrow but i’m not holding my breath

Not getting relegated isn’t a success, it’s the bare minimum expected.

Play-offs would be a roaring success, although that looks incredibly unlikely to happen at the moment.

At this point staying up will do, but I’d like to think we had recruited a squad (and manager) that was settled in before the summer and ready to kick on next season.

I disagree. After losing our manager in such tragic circumstances than the shenanigans with Carl Fletcher , EFL survival would be a relief

At the start of the season I reckoned that with the inadequate squad we had mid table consolidation would be acceptable.

With the utter shambles,mismanagement and player & coach revolt etc I reckon we will be lucky to avoid relegation

No one confident enough to think Orient can reach play offs.

On flip side no one is saying Orient WILL go down

Lucky 7/Spen, you’re much nicer when you’re actually talking about football.

Give the trolling a rest mate, if just makes you look bad.

I would like to believe that if things got bad enough that relegation became a genuine possibility that the owners will step in and make major changes.

No.It's up to the team to prove us wrong.They haven't proved much this season or improved.
