Changing Man Indeed and HNY to you too- I post about it a lot but ultimately I don’t let the financial stuff worry me unduly, as it will all get sorted one way or another. I had a pretty subdued Christmas, due to family illness etc and today was by far the best thing over the period- makes me remember why I like football- you can’t really beat a good away win on a cold afternoon

OTD has players in red and blue squares, white (us?), pale blue, and blue and yellow. The keeper up for a late corner? colourisation done wrong? referee not in black?

Well happy with that

Happy days Nick. Best wishes for 2026 and a mega millionaire buyout😄

Orient’s supporters club bar is so much better than anything we offer. To be able to have a good beer from a glass in a packed but well organised bar along with a cheese and onion roll felt like a win before we really won. The supporters club bar has also contributed a lot of money to the club over the years.

Changing man- sorry, I really didn’t mean to be negative (just my clumsy phrasing). I definitely thought that it was a good performance from us and a very enjoyable game - though I do think that Orient were unbelievably poor and I am not going to row back on that. To be honest, even after watching football for 40 years a lot of the tactics stuff passes me by (which is why I try never to post on that!) so I probably missed what JJ did in that area - but that’s just my ignorance. The main thing I took from today was that we worked harder than them and to me that’s way more important than any tactical nuances. One other thing that I should mention is the unbelievable save which Bishop made right at the end- avoided a nervy last couple of minutes.

Tommy Swig - Can't help how your computer caches images unfortunately. Try shift-F5

Nick- Your take on finances are enlightening for a thicket like me but your comment on today feels mega negative. Give credit where it's due. That was a good performance, Jackson's tactical change caught Wellens with his pants down and we made them look shit. There are at least 6 teams worse than us in this league. Keep the faith

Seddon proving the rare rule that returning to Wimbledon for a second time (ie a third stint) works out well.

Certainly not a win that I expected (especially after 5 minutes) but an away win is always an enjoyable thing. We were definitely the better side, though to some extent that was down to orient being really poor. Seddon was really good today- he has been a welcome exception to the general pattern of returning players being a bit of a disappointment. Still going to be a struggle to stay up but things feel a whole lot better after a win.

One win after over two months without any in the league is a welcome start to the new year. I'd snap your hand off if offered 5th from bottom now. We are still in trouble but another MOM display from the runaway candidate for POTY (Seddon) has eased the anxiety a bit.

Isn't our loans taken, low compared to other clubs? That in itself maybe key by the time the months out.

I'm about as unsuperstitious as you can get but we always play shit when we wear that yellow kit and usually lose but we don't lose (often winning) when we wear the green and black kit.

Win away to Wycombe and we're back in the mix of keeping things looking interesting, rather than over our shoulder. Important to build on today when at last we looked again as we did the first few months of the season

Asiimwe stays or goes back? I know a lot depends on who we might get as a replacement but it seems as though his early season form has not endured maybe?

Ha maybe! I will add the caveat that we need Browne to stay and to stay injury free.

NickD you’ve just jinxed us for the rest of the season now by saying we look fine. Our relegation is down to you

Blimey - have a look at this link. At this time last year, the 4th from bottom team had 7 less points. [Link]

We were the better team today but for a long period I was worried that it wasn’t translating into scoring chances. Two pieces of quality meant that it eventually did. I was more impressed with us off the ball today - we worked very hard for each other and made them have to work very hard just to get a bit of space and time on the ball.

Didn’t Port Vale just give Blackpool an absolute pasting?

We play Doncaster, Rotherham and Port Vale this month - the last two away. 5 points in those could be big.

CM - wouldn’t disagree.

Nick D- I thought Northampton were shite and we are better than them. Gifted them 3pts

With goal difference that is effectively a 5 point gap.

If I were a betting man I’d be looking at finishing above Doncaster, Rotherham, and Orient right now. Vale gone so we look fine.
