Looking at Swindon's results suggests they blow very hot and very cold, not much in between. Their last 5 games went L L L W W. Which Swindon will arrive on Saturday? They are 4 points off the play-offs so they have plenty to play for. I guess there's a little extra spice due to RW's connections there although I think he'd give his right arm to win away at Salford.
Will TJ keep his place? Will Clay fight off Pratley? Does Sadlier need a rest, we have Smyth waiting. I understand McCart, Drinan and Brown may all be available.
Thoughts ..... ?

I think you’re being a bit optimistic saying they blow hot and cold Fisch. I see it as a couple of weeks ago they were blowing cold but lately they’re blowing hot with 2 wins in a row and they’re coming smelling blood.
Be a tough game for sure and important we get back to winning ways otherwise it’s another “blip” which we don’t need nor want right now. Not the ideal game at the moment at all.
I’d play Pratley, he should always start when hes available to. Craig does a job when called upon but unfortunately it’s clear a run in the team leaves his weaknesses a little exposed. Smyth in and keep Sadlier it’s against opposition like this his quality will really shine through.
UP THE O’s!

From what I've seen b4 the Harrogate game, Swindon play it around a lot but don't do much with it.
They make lots of mistakes especially in midfield and also leave big gaps in defence.
Forget the name, we're a much better team than them. They do have Charlie Austin though.
If we really go for it I don't see them coping too well.
I haven't seen their full games, just extended highlights.
And they beat Salford with an OG. Salford looked the better team.

Even though moncur scored at the weekend, I’d stick with sotiriou It looks like he’s coming into a bit of form with a run in that attacking central midfield position.

Swindon have got some tough fixtures in March and they would do us a favour if they played well against Carlisle and Stockport, but don't cause us any problems.
May have won their last two, but the Salford win was fortunate according to some on their forum and Harrogate are in deep trouble, despite holding Northampton to a draw.
So looking forward to this one, expecting them to try to hit us on the break, but if we play to our potential, then we should pick up three points.

My anxiety has returned somewhat after England lost to New Zealand in a glorious test match.

My anxiety has returned somewhat after England lost to New Zealand in a glorious test match. No need Red. The bookies have us at 1/66 for promotion, a £100,000 bet would net you a £1,500 profit. Thats how likely it is. In plain English it means a meteor needs to strike earth for us not to get promoted  Try and stay positive, enjoy the ride as it is not often it'll be this smooth and lovely! |

Have to admit it would be very Orient to miss promotion because of a 1 in 65,000,000 chance event  |

What I guess will be the team against Swindon: 4-2-3-1
Vigouroux
James
Beckles
Turns
Sweeney
Pratley
El Mizouni
Archibald
Sotiriou
Sadlier
Kelman
Subs
Smyth
Moncur
Drinan
Clay
Thompson
Ogie
Byrne
If Brown and McCart are fit, where to put them?
Assuming Hunt, Duke-McKenna, Happe, Lyden, Georgiou are not fit.
Nkrumah & Fish a long way from the first team (Neither are shown as loaned out)

Im also really nervous, about this game, and about us being promoted. Until we are mathmatically promoted, this anxiety will continue.
If any club could screw this up from our position, it will be Leyton Orient
I was there in 1974, when we only needed a home win against 14th placed Aston Villa to be promoted into the first division..we all know what happened
I was at Wembley in May 2014, when we were 2-0 up in the play off final at half time......we all know what happened
Orient are the masters of grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory

I think Saturday will be one of the hardest games of the season and will be a draw or even a defeat ☹️ , I'm 100% sure we will finish top 3 but there will still be a few dodgy performances on the way 🤔

The wheels would truely have to come off for that to happen and I can’t see that scenario under Richie. |

It's not as if we find life easy against anyone so it's no surprise that every week even the humblest opposition fill me with apprehension.
