Despite some recent clean sheets and improving defensively Orient are still vulnerable at the back. I would like to see a more pacey CB brought in and maybe some quality and experience at full back. But other than this I think we are looking strong in most other areas of the pitch. We seem to...

I wonder what will happen now there is this second lockdown. I take it football will be suspended after Tuesdays fixtures for at least a month?

Good win today for us but not getting carried away as Bolton were utterly terrible. It was almost too comfortable

Genuine question. Are Southend playing mainly players from the youth team and young first year pros? Reminds me of us (Orient) when we went down. You end up just ticking each game off as a defeat in your head before each match. The owner selling off all the experience pros in the process.

Can someone enlighten me with what happened with Mellon. Didn't realise he was no longer there. Must have lost track during Covid. I thought he had done a stellar job for Tranmere with 2 promotions in quick succession. I know you got relegated but you were fighting it before season was stopped...

Just waiting for us to draw Plymouth for 12,000th time. It's nailed on.

Pleased with two away wins and two clean sheets in a week. We were unbeaten had knocked Plymouth out of the league cup and had good momentum before the club curse struck again with covid hitting our squad and having to postpone games. Just waiting for the curse to strike us down again, wonder...

So you've basically prorogued the board and declared yourself head statesman and sole rule maker. Where have I heard this before? We need a more democratic approach :surr:

Just read through this entire thread and it is clear there is a power struggle deep in the heart and at the top of the brotherhood. Can someone enlighten me where we at? May I request an emergency board meeting?

I actually used to like the JPT or whatever it's called now because I could go and watch Orient and not stress too much about the result and just enjoy the game win lose or draw. It's the only competition I feel like that. I find league games very stressful and it ruins my weekend if we lose. In...

That's a decent explanation thanks for the response. That's a pretty poor record but I do remember a couple of drubbings at your place. Yes there was a time when we seemed to win by default of a Southend own goal. Your late equaliser for 2-2 to go through 3-2 in the area final of the tinpot...

Interesting that both Millwall and Charlton still list us despite being 2 leagues apart at the moment. We did play them a lot in the last 2 decades so makes sense. Brentford no doubt would as well if there was any data available. Surprised we maybe didn't appear on Peterborough and Oxford's...

Colchester struggle for a competitive budget but I admire their youth system and promoting from within. They always seem to be coached the right way and whenever I have seen their younger players they seem technically decent. Orient have poached a few decent players off them over the years. They...

My comment wasn't really an attack on Macc. There has always been an association with long northern trips and nil points in adverse weather and people tend to call these grim away days. It being a Tory area though certainly wouldn't attract me either. I'm sure Macc is pleasant enough in the...

To be fair both leagues are fucking dogshite. There was nothing yesterday that we haven't already seen. Our team exploding like rat bags after 1 goal in a grim northern town in treacherous wind. We're just reclaiming our 'southern softies' tag which we wore so well even just 12 months ago in the...

I'm sure all 1,400 of you will enjoy the combined total of 4 single portaloos behind the away end to share amoungst you if any of you get caught short and the complete lack of any facilities. They were not prepared for the increased crowds in the Conference let alone L2.

Must admit I feel a little cheated that they didn't broadcast Orient vs Cheltenham what with the tributes and day dedicated to Justin Edinburgh and raising awareness for the JE3 foundation. The whole occasion was worthy of TV footage not 1,500 in a lego set bankrolled by billionaires. Saying...

I still feel empty of any enthusiasm for the new season to be honest. I hope this changes once we are into the new season.

I actually like this. The white top looks great. Never liked the mix colour designs or stripes of the past so this is an improvement in my opinion. They are using the right colours just across all parts of the kit not just on the shirt

Would also like to add Justin was incredibly fit for his age and would put to shame people 10 years younger. But for an old knee injury from his playing days was going to run the London Marathon this year. This is what makes it all the more shocking. I am praying for him.
