Last time I went to Orient was 1977, got food poisoning after eating dodgy ham, egg & chips at Watford Gap. Then car broke down after the match and we waited hours for the AA to sort us out. Had to keep stopping on the way home to throw up 🤮

We drew 1-1 and I think Tony Dunne may have either scored or got stretchered off. Was still at school so my memory is a bit sketchy.. we won the league that season too 👍

I thought we lost every league match in London that season but you are right we drew at Orient and lost the other 5. We only lost 3 of the 36 league matches that weren't in London

We?

I was working nearby and went to a mid week game in 1981 at Orient, all I remember it was draw

Remember one in late 70s, cheap coaches put on. A nilniller on a quagmire. One coach all passengers turfed off, something to do with Spurs fans.

He did mate, a lovely bloke, his relatives lived in the street where I was born and he was always nipping round. He's related to Nigel Short, the chess grandmaster,  he was always in our street too seeing his grandma, and drubbed us routinely at the psoh man's draughts.

We still whooped Short's school team though, even with him.

The only time and last time I went to Orient was in April 1988, we hadn't won for 3 games and a win got us back on track for promotion from Div 4, Julian Darby and Andy May scored in a 2-1 win. Ran amock in Dunstable after the game and stayed at Winnies who lived in the area at the time, must have been around 20 of us kipping on the front room and kitchen floors.

Plus his mum and dad who were staying there, great day and night mate 👍

Until we get regular goal scorers we will continue to struggle in games. Tuesday was a good example where we really were exceptional in the first half but completely failed to turn that into goals. The game should have been over at half time and even in the second half we had Good chances to score, especially Ali, but failed leading to a nail biting finish. Can’t see either Fonz or Gnahoua being prolific and we have nothing in the young players who could come in, so unless we get Doyle back quickly or he does finally see what Faal can do, I think convincing wins are far away.

You're right, but you can't count on Ali missing four or five decent chances every week. On another night he'd have at least tested the keeper. Or made the right decision to pass or shoot.

He’s perfectly capable of it Francis but so far this season I haven’t seen Ali test the keeper yet, despite the number of chances he’s had from both free kicks and open play. If he steps up and just hits the target more I’m sure he will score, so let’s hope it’s today 😉.

1-3, momentum builds and we continue to rise up the table.

If you'd have been allowed to travel down, you'd be pissed by now so that answers your question

Another victory. 2-0 to the mighty whites 

2-0 for me too 👍

Hope vice captain med doesn't get blown off his ladder today

2-0 to them (unless Orient give us a comedy goal like last week)
