The Leyton Orient Chronicle
Player ratings21 Jun 2027
Luca Sapiente runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 35. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Transfer targets21 Jun 2027
An offer of $14.8M for Max Alleyne
Leyton Orient have gone to Manchester City with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Leyton Orient turn down Hamrun Spartans for Luis Olmedo
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Match19 Jun 2027
The wait goes on for Leyton Orient
5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Killian Cahill is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.
Match19 Jun 2027
The goals have deserted Leyton Orient
5 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Leyton Orient can tell you which week it ends in.

Newport County tell Leyton Orient: Jordan Graham is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Tempers go at Leyton Orient
Milan van Ewijk was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

James Morris has improved at 25, which nobody expected
Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.
