Cough Dossena cough.

I think they do cause a minor home advantage to be honest - and I'm not just saying that to be difficult or to make a point. Fact is, 3G pitches do cause irregular bounce from time to time; the surface is inherently different to a proper grass pitch, so we are not used to it. Playing and...

Bit of a banana skin for us here, Tuesday night, away on one of those plastic pitches at Bromley. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to this one, but all the same, would probably take a draw given that we've won our last 2 on the bounce. From Bromley's 3 results I can see 2 drab...

Decent game today. First off, very impressed with Maidstone, both on and off the pitch, that's one of the best away followings I've seen at Brisbane Road, they did not stop singing for 89 minutes (when our second went in), and are a credit to their club. On the pitch, they fully deserved a draw...

Well we did beat Solihull on Tuesday night, so I'd say this league is as good as wrapped up now. Easy stroll to the finish line for the Os!

H Have you considered relegation?

Are you complaining about plastic pitches??

Hubris? Every Orient fan has been saying we will be pleased to stave off relegation, with potential for a late top half finish push once our team of strangers begins to gel.

That team is ten times better than our starting XI last season, I can't wait to see how it all goes.

Yeah it really is very difficult to call isn't it, pre-season only means so much. I do very much like the look of Bonne, might stick £20 on him to be top scorer in this league, I don't know what Colchester were thinking when they let him go - do you happen to know how much we paid for him...

Shouldn't be complacent given it's the first game of the season, we have the least settled side ever, and Sutton went on a cracking FA Cup run last season against sides far bigger than us, not to mention their dodgy pitch... Just looking at the calibre of players we have signed, it won't matter...

Every singing we've made so far has been excellent and the mood around the club is the best I have ever seen. Still need a couple more players, but our first XI is looking strong, and our talented youngsters provide decent cover. Two months ago I just hoped that we would continue to exist. Now...

I don't. I think he's past it, and his international duties are a nuisance. He's not exactly injury prone, but I doubt he will play more than 25 games for us this season. He also reminds me of the previous regime but you can't hold that against him I suppose. Then again, for the Vanarama he's...

We are being linked with Jobi McAnuff and/or Danny Green, as we do need a winger. I think either might be able to do a job, but Jobi is 36 with international responsibilities, and Green was out for the entirety of last season with a double leg break. Both of decent footballing pedigree, but...

*Leytin Orient

I was never Hendon's biggest fan whilst he was in charge, but he probably did the best out of anyone under the clown. Also, if you've checked out Sammy Moore's filibuster of an interview, it seems that the dressing room was right behind Hendo, I think he could work well with Ling and he knows...

I play cricket in the same league as Lee, I can confirm its pretty much a done deal. Excellent signing.

Rumours circulating that Orients first signing could be David Mooney. He's the wrong side of 30 now, but was inspiring for us for 1 season in league 1 before dropping off. Released by Southend and has played at a good league 1 standard for many years, plus has good affinity with the fans. I...

Orient fan here. Really looking forward to seeing a host of new grounds in the coming months (and probably years). There's really strong rumours of a new owner for us (most likely CEO of Dunkin dOnuts), so I would predict a consolidatory, mid-table first season for us, followed by pushing for...

Sigh. Surely even you (he said with trepidation) can see why Orient fans would be p*ssed off with the efl for doing nothing whilst our billionaire owner refused to pay players and staff and ran the club into the ground. If you somehow read into my comment that I was placing the blame for our...
