New BT website - coming soon?
Several weeks ago I signed up as the O's contributor to the new BT football website. That was due to go live on 4th October, no sorry make that 11th October. I duly sent in my piece, and BT duly postponed for another week. Another week passed, and I sent in another piece, and... BT now say "don't send any more until we tell you". Technical difficulties apparently - no-one told them setting up a website is complicated!
So, until they get their act together, here's what you've been missing, starting with the post for 11th October:
Same old Orient?
What started as a season of promise and optimism has rapidly descended into the familiar relegation battle.
When the season kicked off, few O’s fans doubted that Russell Slade’s new signings were an improvement on the players they replaced. So why are the results not better too?
On Saturday at Hillsborough, we failed to convert possession and chances into goals, and paid the price. The home match with Charlton was a similar story - even when we beat Exeter 3-0 there should have been many more goals.
We’ve not really been outplayed by anyone this season, and got good results on the road at Southampton and Oldham. But we need to start putting chances away, and converting good performances into results, before we end up adrift at the bottom of the table. One more point would take us out of the drop zone at present, but there are already signs of a gap appearing above the bottom five or six.
After one point from two difficult away matches we have to convert home advantage into wins, starting with Saturday’s visit from the Monkeyhangers. Up the O’s!
