Orient up next and the last time we played 'em it was a disaster, even giving Orient their first home win of the season. Why is it always us?
One of our former players, Conor Wilkinson, is their second leading scorer on 7. He scored in the math in October. Danny Johnson is their leading scorer on 14. Other goals and assists are spread around, Brophy of note.
Last six matches Orient won 3 lost 3, while our very own selves are in a run of relegation form having only picked up 3 points.
We've failed to score in 2 of the last 6 and haven't kept a clean sheet, whereas Orient have scored in all but one of their last 6, that being the last match against Forest Green. They've had 3 clean sheets.
I think we'll lose this one as well. I just think that we don't have a settled side and defensively I don't see any improvement.
2-1 Orient.

I may as well just Copy & Paste my comments for the Mansfield match:-
”Presumably Baptiste will come in for Delaney but after that I am not sure how else he will change the team, if at all. Heavens knows there are quite a few of Saturday’s team not worthy of a start.
I wish that somehow he could get someone up alongside Doyle to support him and cause danger instead of 2 wide men. In my mind, Delfouneso is a striker (not a very good one at the moment) but he plays him as a winger so we are always stuck with just one out and out attacker.
Defensively, apart from Santos, you could throw the names up in the air and see who lands where as they all susceptible to errors.
The goalkeeper position is farcical. We set off with a young kid and dropped many points because of it before the manager made a change and brought in Gilks. Realistically though, Gilks is not the answer. Did anyone else notice that for both goals against Tranmere he did not dive? He probably couldn’t have saved them but he is so slow down to shots along the ground, presumably because of his age. Shots in the air, he is fine with. We must play him as the alternatives, Crellin or Alexander, are scary but why haven’t we sorted this problem out by now?
Midfield, we seem not to be able to fit players with reputably good skills into proper positions within the team. Sarcevic for some reason cannot dominate games, Crawford, well he is awful – so weak and Darcy is, for what ever reason, ignored. What has happened to Sonny Graham? Not outstanding last year but a worker. Totally disappeared.
I am still of the opinion, that somewhere amongst this sizable mass of players, a team can emerge that can win on a regular basis but, so far, the manager has failed to do it.
I’m disappointed that the manager will not be sitting in the stand tonight following the red card. He may have got a different perspective on the game as, at the moment, his interpretation of the games differs wildly from mine.”
We have a number of home games coming up – the drastic position we are in really means that we must win them all so I am starting with BWFC 2 Orient 0.

Just read that Sarcevic is out for a month with a groin injury.
It gets ridiculous - new signings injured and out within 1 game, suspensions and now more injuries

Want to change your prediction david? I'll call it a bogey... and the club seems to have one this season.
My question would be, 'how did he get injured?' Murder ball? There was no mention of him being injured for the postponed game.

I would say Sarcevic has been playing for a while as if he were carrying an injury, or one might conjecture he's been carrying a lot of body mass for that joint to bear. Either way it's a bad omen for us with so many important games coming up and with no recognised replacement in sight for such a potentially class player. It does seem our club under FV is really at the crossroads with no adequate new loan players coming in, the planned sale of our star youth team captain for peanuts, and possibly us fans' favourite Darcy. With the experienced backroom apparently paid off, no developments on football beneath the main team, and no comments from Sharon and her colleagues, things do seem to be at a pretty pass with the pandemic situation not helping either. It is definitely time for a statement by the owners, so come one - remember we're all in it together, and by the way where are the Wanderers Trust at this apparent crucial stage?

There was no mention of him being injured for the postponed game. good point Wots. you wonder if he's been carrying it for a while, as very often players playing below par suddenly drop out injured and you think..well that explains that. big blow. as much as he's not been on top form, still an influence ...reads things..tackles, creates, wins cheap free kicks, scores the odd goal. clever late runs. although i never ruled out that "R" word, it is creeping in a bit more now. slipping down the table ,getting behind with games played..creating more pressure on already under-performing bunch. those things cropping up to haunt Evatt...Taft getting Scun'thorpe clear. maybe even Barrow staying up and we don't. oh the irony of that one. Keith Hill getting Tranmere up too. ? these odd things that football throws up start to enter your mind.

www.newhamrecorder.co.uk/sport/leyton-orient-bolton-wanderers-match-preview-7078858on the plus side for us, vs Orient, their topscorer Danny Johnson, who is on 14 lge goals..2nd topscorer in the Div... he's out injured. and his replacement.. Lee Angol is also very doubtful. Wilko will still be a threat. Lee back for us. even more important he stays fit. but that's a tough ask with games coming thick and fast. i'll predict 1-1.

well i've put a low stake on Bolton or Draw. still bit concerned about the centre back area. 3 options Baptiste, Greenidge or Brocky. Greenidge impressed offensively in his last outing. another poor bit of management from IE. he was so obviously fading physically...yet with 3 defenders on the bench makes absolutely no subs. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55450270I really don't know how anyone can trust this manager's eye. competent management should be spotting this stuff before us. the Riley one falls into the same category. comes in and is possibly MOM ..certainly a contender. not seen once yet has he ? when you bear in mind how some under-performers get picked time and again. what kind of signal does this send out ?. he almost acts at times as if he's a fifth columnist...paid by a rival to destroy the club. i say that tongue in cheek but you shouldn't be able to level that at all. play well... keep the shirt. don't & you lose it . not rocket science. he's played well..drop him. he's hopeless. give him a nice long run in the team. bizarre. fair play he did it with Thomason. Riley must have done something to earn that pick, then he backs it up. then can't even make the bench for an underperforming team. fair enough if we're flying. Regan Riley might have just been another Joe Riley..one outstanding game fuelled on adrenaline then a fairly swift retreat back to lesser form, but at least we saw Joe get another deserved start or two . at least they go into the next game with confidence. sometimes you've just got to ride that confidence wave. look at Sheff utd. got promoted. full of confidence. perfectly good last yr. this year .. they look the load of championship misfits that they are. i'd also cite Cloughie title win with Forest. very soon after Div 2( as it was then) promotion.. Forest. promoted 76/77. 1st div title 77/78. stayed at Forest many years after . even Leicester's surprise title win in 15/16 had its roots in their promotion of 13/14. they did the reverse of sheff utd...started poor 1st season in the prem. then finished like a train ( 7 wins in final 9 games ) then took that form into the title winning season. forget about club levels too..what about individual players...didn't Rashford just initially come in to the team 'cos everyone else was injured, and there was almost no one else left. but you just keep on doing it, and you become undroppable. same with Harry Kane....I don't remember all this .we've got a real wonderkid here or anything. he did really well. many thought he was a one-season wonder. but then just kept on doing it. & proved all the doubters wrong. me included on that one. gladly hold my hand up.

It's hard to predict anything other than a loss based on form, injuries and previous game , but somehow I think we'll win this. Don't ask why? Maybe wishful thinking. Maybe the cyclic nature of football. Maybe someone will step up and convince, perhaps Brockbank or Greenidge at centre back. We'll soon know
