***Game postponed***
List of things Chilly1883 can visit with his train tickets:
Visit Buckingham Palace
Ride the London Eye
Tower Of London
Tower Bridge
London Dungeons
National Gallery
Visit Museum(s)
Visit Madame Tussauds
Go and watch Arsenal vs Man City or Palace vs West Ham
So it seems like this game will go ahead. Not an easy game to return to at all. Orient have the best goal difference of their last 4 and 8 at home. Only losing 1 of their last 8 home games.
I fear we could be a bit rusty after so long off, as we are a team that has had players with Covid we couldn't have trained much together?
We lost the reserve fixture 3-1 at home and I think we might lose this one 3-1 as well.
I actually think we can have a good 2nd half to the season, just think this fixture will be tough.
Oh and Happy New Year to all you Gasheads, love and peace to you all and your families. My thoughts are especially with those who have lost a loved one or just had a very tough year for whatever reason, I especially hope you can enjoy a better 2022 as you will deserve it.
It's been a tough couple of years, let's make sure we take care of one another.
Stay Safe.
GGMI

Be best all round if this one is off again. Then we get our first game back in the fa cup to ease us back in then full steam ahead for the league game against Hartlepool on the 15th with hopefully more players fit and a few new signings š

Looking forward to seeing Jed Ward between the sticks and a welcome comeback for Alex Rodman at right wing back with a rare start for Cameron Hargreaves alongside Westbrooke and Pittman back upfront.
Orient were one of the best sides at the Mem
2 nil defeat.

Only one centre back fit tomorrow Nick Anderton No Hoole or Martinez? They injured as well now or covid? |

Just to clarify manager in his press conference said Nick Anderton is our only recognised centre back available at this time with Kilgour a couple of weeks being available and Harries completing his ban Connor Taylor has not been in the building due to his calf injury and Covid

I expect a much better side put out than anticipated.
What did JB say 5 or so covid cases (and we don't know who they are). That gave us a bit of time so a few of the injuries may have cleared up.
I wouldn't be surprised if Hughes or Taylor are in the squad.
Either that or for once JB is teling the truth and it's Pitman and Lovelock in a back 3.

Only one centre back fit tomorrow Nick Anderton You know this for sure? Players have been off for sometime now through cancellations etc so plenty of time for more intense treatment time I would suggest ? |

I thought I heard the EFL won't have tests on the day of the game. That sounds a bit of a farce. if omicron spreads that quickly if someone had it on Thursday and sent home it could well manifest itself to a few of the other players by Saturday afternoon.
You only have to look how unfit the Oxford players were by extra time. If we have 2 or 3 players starting to have minor breathing problems in the second half against Orient I think that 8-1 prediction could be right.
It might save money for traveling supporters, but if we perform like Oxford did when they were riddled with it, we might as well as played the Papa John's side for the last two weeks.

He also said Taylor hasnāt been able to have treatment throughout this period as heās had covid If thatās true š this gets called off as well or heavy defeat incoming. |

Reports/rumours on FB that the game is definitely on (allegedly from āofficialā sources) but after reading JBās comments, Iām not so sure now if itās true that a number of players were awaiting test results this morning. I donāt think it would do us any harm if itās called off (ātho feel sorry for those with train tickets!).
