I thought I’d start this thread off by saying I’m feeling really upbeat about this match and to be honest as Sutton have a very outside chance if making the playoffs I think that they will reach the 60 points on Saturday. I think that it will be achievable as a) Sutton owe them one, and b) Orient will want to win so much that they will overplay their game and come unstuck especially as if they can win they should be guaranteed of a promotion place.

Orient aren't top of the table by accident, and some weeks ago I had this one down as an away win. Obviously I'd be delighted to be proved wrong! They haven't lost a game since going down 1-0 at Tranmere on 28 January. We've only won once in eight games.
They could clinch automatic promotion with three points on Saturday, though that would depend (if my calculations are correct) on three other results going their way. And I'm sure they'd prefer to seal a top-three spot at home to Crewe a week later. 😏
We should at least see another big crowd at GGL, maybe exceeding the 4,258 we got for Stockport.

On the basis of the stats, there would appear to be very little chance of our attack scoring against their defence. Let's hope for an upset.

This could be one of the few times when Sol predicts a defeat, but I doubt it.

Realistically we won't make the play-offs so I think that the pressure is off. They can go all out and I'm expecting a tight game which we might just edge.

Is this close to being sold out yet? Will tickets be available tomorrow in the club shop?

Listening to Matt's interview our team won't be the strongest.

Matt was talking in his pre-match interview of the importance of a good finish to this season to provide momentum going into next season. Although they only finished 13th last season, Orient hit great form around this time last season (coinciding with the arrival of Richie Wellens as manager) - and showed the first signs of the force they were going to be this season (although we brought their good run to an end with a 1-0 win at GGL).

All over when the second goal went in. Orient could have probably had five or six but took their foot off the gas.

Bottom of the form table with 3 points from the last 7, and no shots on target today, suggest that the wheels have really come off. But overall, finishing 10th isn't too bad. Hope the striker question can be sorted in the summer!

Fort we were better second half today with one or two decent chances, so no disgrace loosing to orient. The remaining games will give Matt a chance to hopefully see some of the fringe players and make decisions for next season. Also a decent crowd of over four thousand, so not a bad day and still in this league. ⚽️⚽️

Congratulations to Orient for their promotion. Started the season with injuries and will be finishing with injuries.(apparatly a bug in the squad this week has not helped matters ) As been said prior.The lack of goals is a big concern.As seen we are bottom of the form league. The way we play may not help this!! Matt said in his prematch interview that he wanted to finish the season with a high.I don't think that will happen. We look a team that has run right out of steam and ideas. But of course I may be found wrong with 4 games to play.
On a separate note. Congratulations to Ben and partner for the birth of their new baby.And to granddad Jason.
