Apologies for the 3rd straight inadequate JS match preview in a row. I know Sage doesn’t need the cash, but I’m more than happy to accept the Bartram shilling.
I predict a rumbustious 2-1 win to Addicks (Hector, May) after Pratley sent off in the 43rd minute.
Of course Orient haven’t won at home for more than two months, their last win being a feeble 2-1 effort against Reading. 
Surely we’ll be strong enough to beat the Os, or at least keep this fabulous unbeaten run going? (Despite my prediction, I wouldn’t put money on it).
I think Charlton will be unchanged, unless Appleton too has tired of Fraser. 

PS If Pratley isn’t sent off we’ll probably lose. 

That’s all I’ve got.

    1pm kick off today not 3 
  • I predict 1-0 Charlton & the players lining up arm in arm in front of the away fans at the end of the game in an amazing display of player & fan bonding.

    Orient not won at home for over 2 months = Home win today.
  • Anyone turning up at 3pm should at least miss the agony of our 2-1 defeat.
  • II used to love a Boxing Day derby.

    Not anymore.

    Was going to like this but can't bring myself to. Sadly probably true.

    1-1. Orient equaliser in added time. That's how it goes isn't it?

    Straightforward team talk for the O’s manager along the lines of “Right boys, it’s Jellyfish Athletic today, you don’t have to play well, just stay in the game and they’ll concede 1 or 2 in the last few minutes.”

    If we win shall we do that really cool celebration at the end like we did first game of the season

  • I'm so disillusioned right now, I couldn't care less. It's taken us two games to get back the 2 points we tossed away v Cambridge. How many before we get back the two tossed away v Burton. Absolute bunch of wankers. Promotion, my arse!

    1-0 defeat, with people still insisting we can make the play offs

    So you’re saying Charlton will win 2-0 then…

    This'll be the first game I've missed watching 'live' on the stream all season. We've got guests at the KO time, and tbh after the last few games I can't be arsed to waste my money. Sad reflection of this squad. Hope we win, but it'll more than likely be another draw. Oh well, after nearly 64 yrs of supporting this club, I really should be used to it.
    1-1

    I tweeted earlier, it’s felt a long time since we sang Jingle Bells for a Christmas away game. Since we beat MK Dons in 2016 we’ve played 11 away games between 16-31 Dec, won 0, drew 3, lost 8
  • If he’s playing I fully expect Pratley to boss the midfield & show our feeble players how it’s done 💪🏼

    I might have to adjust my prediction. 🙁

    It strikes me that our only
    good games this season have come with L Watson playing.

    Watson, Hector, Jones, Edun

    Dobbo , Watson

    Campbell, May, BT

    It's got draw written all over it.
  • We tend to always score.
    we tend to always concede.

    So there will probably be goals. That’s how far my prediction is going.

    It’s hard to get excited for a match atm isn’t it. Tbh I will be watching it but today it feels like a chore rather than pleasure. This lot really need to start turning things around as apathy is killing the club

    the most obvious draw on the fixture list today

    3 o’clock last Saturday. All a bit grim. 
    Perhaps a better atmosphere today might gee up our lot.

    Got a bad feeling about today, local derby game, boxing day we never seem to win and we're just a miserable club who bring no festive cheer, lost against every other local club so why not Orient.

    Piggott and Pratley to score, CBT to score ours. 2-1 defeat
