I say this with guarded optimism and acknowledgment it'll probably all go downhill from here, but if Orient can keep Smyth, Kelman and Archibald fit, I think we'll make the top 7 comfortably or go even further. That's without our main talisman from last season, Drinan who suits Wellens ball to a...

If you put the completely unprecedented summer we've had behind us, we've still been underwhelming overall. Ross Embleton has just made the decision to step back down to assistant and that's a sensible decision I think but it's been pretty fine margins for us over the past few weeks. 2-1 up at...

I came across 'Not the Top 20' on the predictions thread and it looks good, I'd been looking around for a decent EFL podcast for ages and wondered is it regarded as one of the better Football League podcasts out there? I used to love 'We are Going up' but they stopped it a couple years ago and...

Key player - Josh Coulson. Has to already be up there and respected as one of the leagues top center halves. An old school style center back with a pretty no nonsense attitude about defending. Not the quickest but postionally he’s very good. Huge threat on set pieces as well. Was our third top...

Update from East London. Most have us down as lower mid table and I’m fairly sure that’s going to be spot on this year. We lost three of our most prized assets over the summer in Bonne, Koroma and, tragically and most importantly, Edinburgh. Signed 3 players so far and expecting a couple more...

Blew very hot and cold at Orient but any player that played under the Becchetti era has a big asterix next to their name because of how awful the conditions were. He was actually one of the better players, but could have a brilliant game followed by being completely crap. League 2 his level I...

How's Abrahams done for Yeovil? He's one of our own was a real prospect when with us and wouldn't be overly surprised to see us take him back on loan in the league next season

Go on Maidenhead, do us a favour tomorrow will ya

Still under the impression that on his day, he's got to be one of the best, if not the best CM in the NL. As a ball winner, he is different class. I heard your manager had him playing further forward though which surprised me honestly

Article today about Orient potentially looking to strip a few of those Ebbsfleet assets. Watching Cheek and Whitely closely but apparently not in for Adams? How has Adams been for Fleet? The most talked about player down at the Orient for the last year. The hyperbole around him was a bit OTT in...

James Alabi looks like a done deal. Can't say I'm overjoyed considering how much he's been slated on here by Tranmere fans. He actually looked quite decent when we played Dover earlier in the season but faded after a bright start. Dover fans- your thoughts?

As mentioned above, some Orient fans still blame Jalal for our automatic L1 promotion charge going off the rails in 2014. He was terribly out of his depth.

Oyekele was absolute class in both games against us this season. Annoyingly as much as I love to bandy around the idea that we're a massive club in a tinpot league, we've probably got little chance of tempting him here. Massive loss for Aldershot you'd have to assume

Still early but I'll add mine. Couple of comments to make before I do, I'll start with us. Going through everyone's predictions so far it seems that the general consensus is that we either will go up autos or comfortably end up in the playoffs. Whereas, I'd cautiously agree with the second, I...

As always a hard one to call and there will be a few surprises on the way. Feel like there are some dead certs for top half though. Portsmouth and Luton should both do very well with their squads and I fancy Bristol Rovers to surprise a few people and just miss out on autos. It's very hard to...
