Cannot stop watching this….felt like an out of body experience when the ball went in, a mixture of ecstasy and disbelief…I’ve never seen anything like it in 36 years of watching The Orient. What a moment. Donley…what a player he’s gonna be for #thfc. #lofc

There’s a whole new, young, generation of Orient fans that are growing up used to seeing us win regularly and watching us win league titles…and I can’t quite get my head around that…this club is changing…and I’m ok with that. #lofc

I can’t say much about the new investment process at #lofc but I’ve been assured that there is no expectation that Matt Simpson and I will need to produce a new season of The Circus Upstairs….

We’ve had some wonderful players but Donley has to be the most technically gifted to play for #lofc in my 36 years watching…his ball striking ability in particular is incredible. Look at this finish…

Six years ago this week #lofc were playing at Brackley in the FA Trophy. Tonight’s frustrating but remember where we’ve come from and how much we’ve achieved already. Saturday is huge, but we’ve earned the right to be in this position. We’re not done yet…not be a long shot.

Yesterday was special. Orient made a mockery of the so-called pressure, no ‘typical Orient’ psyche that so many of us struggle to shake off. As the late Justin Edinburgh always said, “I’m here for the memories.” I think there may still be a few more to be made yet. You O’s. #lofc

3.5 hour drive to Stockport, get to the pub and the Orient chairman Nigel Travis is buying all the drinks for supporters. A promising start to the evening. Club put on free coaches too. This club. #lofc

Just leaving Stockport…11 years since we made the L1 play off final. So much has happened since then…but nights like this are why we fought so hard to save our club. From Waterlooville to Wembley, Leyton Orient FC. Our club. What a night. One.More.Game. #lofc

300 mile round trip, home by 3am…but in 37 years of watching Orient, I’ve never known anything like this. It’s just six years since we were in the National League. Now we’re one win away from the Championship. Justin started all of this. Now we hope Richie can finish it. #lofc

Sunday is nearly here. I wrote this a couple of years ago about life, death and Orient. This is why it matters so much. It’s so much more than just football. See you Sunday. #lofc jamesmasters.substack.com/p/saying-goodb…

Taken 11 years to the very day for us to get back to the L1 play-off final…what we’ve been through since had been extraordinary…tears, tragedy, triumph. Now it’s time to go full circle…we hope. #lofc

One thing I noted at Wembley today was that there was no animosity between #cafc and #lofc fans. It just all felt very cordial. In that spirit, best of luck to Charlton. Beat us three times this season, difficult to begrudge them today. All very tight games mind.
