And so, welcome as the win was on Saturday, the fact remains that we are still 23rd in the league and there is the very real chance that Leyton Orient are going to experience their first relegation in 20 years.

Very few teams have manged to lose a play-off final on penalties one season and then go down the following year but then very few teams, ofcourse are Leyton Orient. In some ways 2014-2015 has been somewhat similar to that awful campaign of 1994-95.

In both we had a new owner, though this time round the seller got a little more for the club than Tony Wood did all those years ago. Whilst we have not had a player sacked at half-time this year as we did with Terry Howard in the nineties you could say we came very close this time round with Gianvito Plasmati being carted off at half-time against Scunthorpe and he's not played since.

Our full-back Howard left 20 years ago despite being a desperately popular player amongst the Brisbane Road faithful however, yet in contrast I can't remember too many chants of 'Ohh Gianvito Plasmati' or 'he's one of our own, he's one of our own Gianvito Plasmati, he's one of our own' at the Agon Arena this year, though who knows, I suppose there's still time as rumour has it he was on the substitutes bench last Saturday.

Whilst our catastrophic campaign some 20 years ago was based upon our shocking away record - no wins and just two draws on the road all season in '94-'95 - this time round it has been the home form that has been our Achilles heel, with a mere three league wins at Brisbane Road since August.

All in all, it says a lot for Leyton Orient supporters that the crowds have held up so well at Brisbane Road during 2014-2015.

I suppose a lot like myself have seen it all before at the club, having witnessed previous disastrous seasons - apart from 94-95 others such as 1981-82 and 84-85 come to mind - and as such we come to accept that when we decided to become O's fans all those years ago, we were heading for a life of pain and misery and just had to suffer the consequences.

Despite our league position, most of us are trying to keep our sense of humour. I liked it when, after some weird substitutuions, a few around me started singing at Fabio Liverani 'you don't know what you're doing' at our manager, this was countered by a few wags with 'you don't know what we're saying.'

I also liked it ten minutes before the end of the Bradford game, when lots were heading for the exits, when I heard someone near me saying that he was staying till the end to avoid the rush. Top humour, Leyton Orient style.

It has to be said however that while we have come to take it for granted that mistakes are going to be made at our magnificent little club, the decision to appoint Liverani as our fourth manager of the season, even by Orient standards was a somewhat strange one.

By recruiting a man with just eight games managerial experience in Italy with no knowledge of football in this country, let alone in the lower leagues, unable to speak English, the club have surely surpassed even their high standards of absurdity this time round.

I went to the 'meet the manager' evening last night and it would be nice if the supporters got the chance to meet our elusive new owner at some point, though at the moment I guess there's more chance of Mauro Milanese being named League One manager of the year come May, as that happening.

Despite our somewhat desperate league position I guess as O's fans we all have to keep our chins up. After all if we do end up getting relegated we've always got the Albert Square come jellied eels derby against Dagenham and Redbridge next season to anticipate.

A game that will determine who the best league club in east London are, and before that there's the 'Orient Legends' game at the end of May to look forward to. I wonder if Darius Henderson will get a call up for that one.

Up The O's.
