Thrashed by Bromley Bromley last night....

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40858600

Leyton Orient were thrashed by Bromley as the short trip south of the Thames ended in misery for Steve Davis and his team.

Bromley swept ahead after just 11 minutes, with George Porter heading past Charlie Grainger. And despite Orient threatening at times to get back on level terms, the former Football League side slid 2-0 adrift in the 39th minute when Frankie Sutherland's corner was nodded in by home captain Jack Holland.

The misery increased for Orient early in the second half, with Bromley stretching their lead after 55 minutes when Josh Rees struck from close range, after an initial save from Grainger. It got worse seven minutes later when Adam Mekki fired the fourth after strong work from the impressive Louis Dennis.

Orient mustered a consolation when former Colchester man Macauley Bonne scored his first for the club in the 66th minute, but they were red-faced in the 74th minute when Holland struck again and more so when Brett Williams notched Bromley's sixth late on.

There was a time in the not so distant past when we had a mini rivalry with Orient and they featured quite heavily on NSC. Both clubs were in the 4th tier and languishing in the footballing wilderness with no money and similar levels of expectation. Interesting how our paths have separated in opposite directions so dramatically and it could so easily have been us getting smashed by Bromley. I almost feel sorry for them, almost.

Saw them at Barrow yesterday. 2-2 in an entertaining game - 300 Orient fans making the trip north, which is pretty good really. Chatting to them on the train home it was clear that they thought that they would walk the league after relegation - and have been really surprised by the level of competitiveness they have encountered.

Not looking great for them really - and when you look at the league they're in, it's hardly 'non-league' with teams like Tranmere, Halifax, Aldershot, Hartlepool, Torquay, Wrexham - all stalwarts of the league set up for so long. It really does feel like a fifth division now.

Woking off to a good start - I've been willing them on to promotion for years and years, ever since Clive Walker inspired them to five successive top-five finishes in the mid-90's. Been leaner times of late, would love them to get up finally
