Match Day Thread: Leyton Orient (A) 12th Sept 2026

Was just about to say similar. Has looked isolated at times and not in the game (not his fault at all) but has one goal and a shot from distance that needed the keeper to make a save. Thats worth its weight in gold.

About £1.2m worth of gold. Allegedly.

I can’t comment on him overall as only caught the end of the half, but I just saw the own goal and he was pretty unlucky in my book. I’m pleased he showed the desire to get something on the ball but these things can happen to defenders.

Can a stats man explain to be how both teams have have 52% of Ariel’s duels won? Surely that stat has to equal 100% (either one side wins the duel and the other doesn’t?)

I thought he did actually too, but I thought someone mentioned it was Henderson? I could have misread the post.

It’s calculated on the percent a team challenging for the ball defending win not who won the most percentage of overall headers. Does that make sense? It’s individual to the defending team

Apparently 700 travelled well done chairboys and chairgirls

Looked like Henderson to me

Fair enough that does make sense.

More so that team possession percentage that is based wholly, or at least in part, on the number of passes a team has.

After feeling like we were abysmal at set pieces for the best part of a year, it really seems we’ve turned a corner there. Superb.

Never mind winning L1 at this rate we’ll be invited into the latter stages of the Champions League.

Fuck me I’ve only watched 7 minutes and we look bloody brilliant. I apologise for not watching until the 40th minute, if we were shaky until then I am happy to take the blame.
