Well down at the Orient, a new week once again heralds a new manager and a new loss. Just eight months ago we were beating Peterborough to herald a trip to Wembley, now we're losing at home to the same team to take us into the bottom four, three points from safety.

Yes the team that was just two penalty kicks away from the Championship is now looking at the prospect of trips to Accrington Stanley and Mansfield in late 2015.

So far this campaign we've had as many league victories as we've had managers. You think you've seen it all supporting East London's finest team over the years, but Leyton Orient forever have that happy knack of druming up new ways of making you feel frustrated, as 2014-2015 is gloriously proving.

Feeling in the Supporter's Club after the latest loss was mixed. Some were confident that with money available to spend in the January transfer window, we'd be OK come May. All well and good saying that maybe, but the money has to be spent wisely.

You would imagine that the first priority of the budget will be for a decent English language teacher for the new man in charge (as well as possibly Chris Dagnall) as well as a top interpretor for his current team talks.

And when Fabio Liverani and Mauro Milanese come to look at some new signings you wonder if he will be confident that a few overweight unfit ex-Italian internationals approaching their late thirties will be able to do the business in League One in the new year and save us from relegation.

A priority at the club for the new man if we are to survive, must be to cut back on the injuries and suspensions we are getting so regularly this season. Of all the strikers at Brizzy Road last Saturday Lisbie, Mooney, Simpson, Henderson and Plasmati were all injured while Dagnall was suspended.

That left us just Shaun Batt to play alone up front, a forward who for some reason can't seem to make it past 60 minutes of any game.

Hopefully will be able to address this issue and indeed I hope our new man will be given time to get things right, possibly even beyond the end of the current reality television series in Italy. Surely the best boost for ratings would be a surge up the league led by a fully fit and well behaved squad.

It may not happen of course and we could find ourselves in the bottom division for the first time since 2006 but let's face even that would not be a catastrophic disaster. Though for some our current plight is akin to the end of the world, Orient stalwarts have, let's face it, seen a lot worse over the years.

We've seen buckets passed around the terraces to keep the club afloat in the sixties, we've seen times when there was not enough cash to pay the milkman in the nineties, and we've seen us holding up all the other 91 teams in the league in 1999. All of which makes our plight now seen like a truly minor aberration.

I can remember watching league matches at Brisbane Road when under 2,000 were present, yet even a bottom-six position and a cold winter afternoon just before Christmas could not stop five and a half thousand masochists being attracted to our little piece of Italy last Saturday.

Pretty decent even allowing for the large number of away fans. From the moment my father made that decision to take me to our wonderful little ground, I guess my life was never going to be easy but personally I would not have wanted it any other way.

Yes, you can see now the interest in Leyton Orient's visit to Accrington will entice a huge viewing figures on Mr Becchetti's television station in Italy and I for one will be there to back our lads no matter how many managers we've gone through by then.

And just remember O's fans when your whinging, there's always someone worse of than yourselves. After all we could all be supporting a club who have the horrible prospect of moving into a huge soulless stadium in a couple of years time, subsidised by the taxpayer.

Have a good Christmas,

Up the O's.
