Leyton Orient: Minnows in London

There's been some progress so I'm starting to feel pretty good about it. There's a couple signings incoming during the winter window so I might do a separate post that outlines our activity throughout the window. Not much exciting, but trying to find some deals on loan or on a free to shore up our depth.

It's a long season in the lower leagues and fitness is always a concern.

Got sacked. The dream is over. The board are a bunch of ----s.

It was actually a really disappointing turn. We had a hard fought 2-1 loss to start the month of January and then went head to head against Arsenal in the FA Cup. We threatened them a couple of times, but ultimately they were too big and we fell 1-0. After a great effort we were then routed 4-0 and I was called into the board room to beg for my job. At the end of the meeting I was given the expectation of grabbing 10 points in 5 games and managed to lose 2 of my first 3 games resulting in my dismissal after a 3-0 loss to Mansfield.

This was my first save in 2017 after a fairly long break from the FM franchise, so we'll see where I go from here.
