    Romared Match Thoughts Leyton Orient v Barnsley

    1200 travelling reds hoping to see the away Form / Fortune carry on .

    Unfortunately Animal is on grandkids duty and to cap it all off he'll probably miss the Rugby on Saturday night to boot .

    Aye " but those little cherubs melt your heart don't they ? "

    It's a long shift , I'll say that .

    If we win five and draw one out of every six away games this season our away record will be W!9 D4 L0, a total of 61 pts, leaving only around 29 more points to get from home games to add to those already secured, to probably ensure automatic promotion.

    Saturday is the start of the next block of six away games.

    Go Well Neill and Jon's Men's Team.

    John Sitton, the manager of Orient in the mid 90s starred in the Football documentary 'football club for a fiver' and it is a great watch. The geezer was very passionate about football but a bit of a nutcase too and actually sacked an Orient player at half time during the documentary. It's on YouTube if anyone is interested. Proper old school stuff

    The Official Statement about the kit colour has now been edited to include the real reason Orient will not be in red and us in white. It is due to the white kit being destroyed in the coach fire.

    Are we alone as a professional club in not having several sets of the white playing kit to be used that season stored at Oakwell ? Or is it down to the supply shortage issues with Puma/ Fanatics, to whom the club delegated the matter ?

    I suspect the initial statement saying it was done solely to support colour blindness issues was stretching PR just a bit.

    You raise a very interesting point regarding losing kit in the fire , thinking about it , apart from the clubs strips there will have been a mountain of gear lost , all training equipment, players boots , training tops , boots, footballs , physio equipment & all medical equipment etc, etc , the list is endless & not everything instantly replaceable , therefore the international break probably came at the right time from a club point of view to try & address the problems this incident has brought about.

    Quite frankly, we are a laughing stock…. So we only posess enough white away shirts to cover one squad ? Embarrassing!
    What a Sh1 t show.
    Only surprised that they haven’t made an appeal for out fans to donate their white shirts so we can finish the season….
    No one for-sees a fire,, but how poor do we look having no spare…
    Someone should resign….
