Orient predictions

If you were coach the team would be permanently feeling like they had let everyone down rather than motivated if they had for example held Salford away on New Year’s Day having beaten them on Boxing Day. This ‘3 points nothing less’ approach is perfectly ok as an aim but to say to not win is unacceptable is nonsense.

The problem is we need to win a certain amount of games to win the league. If we don't win today we are on a winless run, an champions cant really afford those

Yes we do need to win a certain amount of games of course but not every game and not today. All Ben was trying to say is it’s not all over if we draw and he is right. Naturally I and I am sure Ben want us to win that is clear.

The other point about today is that they are a key rival. Stuffing them would be an important milestone.

Yeah but it's wherever he lays his hat! He used to support Chester. Your team is for life not just Christmas. ��

Which part dont you understand?
The fact that we need to win lots of games to win the league?
Or the fact that two games without a win is a winless run?
Or the fact that winless runs dont help a team win the league?

I guess you could describe a draw and a loss a winless run,yeah. That is of course if we don't win today. Like you could say we are on a winless run at the minute having drawn our last game. Harsh and negative outlook but non the less true.
Personally I'd rather look at it as having only lost twice all season thus far. Got a more positive ring to it don't you think?

He did as was born and brought up in Chester; his uncle played for them. When he moved to London started to follow the O's. Always bangs on about them whenever he gets the chance. He does seem pretty committed to them. But take your point that he did swap allegiances.
