One word you certainly cannot use to describe life at East London’s premier football league club, with Francesco Becchetti in charge is dull.

Whether it’s sending the team to a hotel on the way back from an away game, making them do extra training when the season’s over or simply kicking a senior member of staff as a way of a bit of banter, there’s always something going on under our favourite Italian waste disposal guru.

We can but hope we’ll be seeing the great man jigging round Wembley come May, high fiving his Orient faithful in much the same way as he did after the Portsmouth victory (providing he’s not banned from the stadium at the time, that is.) Yes things seem to happen really quickly these days in E10. Since my last fan’s view the manager’s departed and Kevin Nugent has had to leave, to ensure that the new man in charge, Kevin Nolan, was able to have a tracksuit with the inital’s K.N. on it.

There’s been the inevitable discussion amongst O’s over the past few weeks as to Ian Hendon’s place in the echelon of all time poor Leyton Orient managers, with the general consensus being that he should rightly take his place in our Hall of Fame, alongside such Orient legends as Fabio Liverani and Paul Brush.

Indeed just to show that he may be gone but he’s far from forgotten, two of his signings Connor Essam and Frazer Shaw contrived to gift Cambridge three goals last Saturday.

Though the defenders took a lot of criticism after the game, it has to be said that we were poor all over the pitch. You may be able to get away with errors at the back if the midfield and forwards are creating chances, but the truth is that the Cambridge United keeper didn’t have a save to make all afternoon.

I keep reading about Manchester United fans complaining that they aren’t scoring enough goals and that their football is dull, well maybe they should try bringing their prawn sandwiches down to Brisbane Road one Saturday afternoon, to see what Leyton Orient supporters have to endure every week.

It’s plain to see that the new manager has got a massive job on his hands trying to get us into that top seven in what remains of the season.

It’s abundantly clear that some of our players are simply not up to League Two standard and need replacing. There really is merely a slim chance of Nolan turning it round with such little time remaining, especially with Paul McCallum and Dean Cox virtually written off until August.

The only thing you can say though that it really is a very poor division this year so that it does not require a massive improvement to go leaping up the league.

It has to be said too, that it’s unlikely we will see any more referees as inept as Mr Ball was last Saturday, which made our task virtually impossible on the day. And whilst Jay Simpson remains with us and stays fit we can’t abandon all dreams of a trip across north London come the end of May.

We are after all Leyton Orient, so expect the unexpected. Anything can still happen between now and the end of the season.

We may not be the best football team in the world, but at least at our club there’s always plenty going on to write and talk about.

By the time of my next ‘fan’s view’ in a few weeks we’ll surely be due a new manager, so look forward to hearing my views on the new man should he be in the door at the time.

And don’t get too despondent, fellow O’s if we don’t make it into the play-offs. Remember there’s always someone worse off than you.

You could be getting ready to watch your team play with a fantastic view about half a mile away from the pitch, in the Olympic Stadium next season. Now that would be grim.

Up the O’s.
