Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Great news to have Richie on board for three more years; he is a manager who is loved by the bulk of the fans and his plain speaking is still so refreshing. Keep wearing your heart on your sleeve, Richie, you can continue to achieve great things with Orient. And let's start with a dazzling cup run ...

Would any club wish to pay a transfer fee for him ?
Koroma is contracted to Huddersfield till summer of 2025.

We cannot afford the fee or his wages. No chance of him returning

Keshi Anderson will be out of contract this summer with Birmingham. He is a striker/ winger who played under RW at Swindon. He was offered a new cotract by Richie but decided to move on and sign for I believe Blackpool. Not a prolific striker but somebody that Richie liked a lot.

Barnsley have sacked their manager. I would think that RW must be a strong contender to replace him. Based on his criticism of some players after Saturdays performance and the clubs failure to match his ambitions it would not surprise me if he was offered the job.. Being close to home and the size o...

The reason he has Little match time is that he is not good enough. If he can’t get into this team at this moment in time proves my point

James Happe Beckles Cooper (depth) Sweeney Theo O’Neill Graham Brown Ageyi Sotiriou Galbraith Obeiro Forde El miz Sanders Despite the current hysteria on here, we’ve got a very good core group that needs supplementing with additional quality in depth I would include Smpson and knock out Sanders. He...

Careful dogs your upset people on here with that sort of talk,I said this months ago and got plenty of negative and abusive replies for saying such a thing. But there again I said Jacket wouldn’t last and got chucked off a board for it. Of course he will go if he gets a better offer,and he will. If...

Just a hunch. Seems gutted that Matt Harold is leaving. Seems completely peed off with some of the players. Seems angry with the lack of backing in January and talks about how next season this league is going to be (much) tougher. Careful dogs your upset people on here with that sort of talk,I said...

Agree. Obviously Premier league decision. Why can’t we have replays on Rounds 1 and 2 when the premier clubs are not involved

Perhaps Darren Prately ?

Look at the table and goal difference . There is no way of them getting into the play offs

Not surprised given the incredible job he’s done at Stevenage His record speaks for itself how he regularly gets success and promotions at a lot of the clubs he goes to Someone I think Travis should take a look at when Wellens eventually leaves. Agree. Is it a stretch to perhaps move RW “upstairs” ...

Neither of these things are really true.

I’m afraid they do. Fact.

We have a top 10 budget for this division, and only 8 clubs in it have larger squads than us.

Who told you that . Our budget according to Ling is at the lower levels of the middle 8 clubs.

Richie said on Phoenix FM on Wednesday that an extension to his contract is on the table and will be sorted out one way or another within a few days.

Cannot believe it .Dodgy penalty and then score last kick of the game . Poor old Carlisle looks like they are going down. Still it’s 2 points dropped by Evans side

Evans has that winners mentality, so much so he's willing to cheat his way to success. Wouldn't mind him down the Os at some point to lead us to the Championships. Not with the type of football his team plays. Carlisle are currently w inning 2-0. Interesting to hear whether he blames the Ref like h...

He is a master at tactics. He sees things happening very quickly and reacts accordingly. He is passionate person who will go right to the top.We are so lucky to have such a manager. Long May it continue .

Top of the JES wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 10:56 pm He's available Saturday - that was his ninth league booking and one in the cup that does not count!

Great. Let’s hope he does not get another before the cut off of 37 games played

Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 9:20 pm 10th yellow. At least he'll miss Bristol R and Wigan and be fresh for Stevenage.

He was playing so well. He gets booked and you could tell it affected his game . He will be greatly missed

Top of the JES wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 5:49 pm Collected his 9th booking of the season on Saturday, he needs to avoid another yellow in the next two games to avoid a two match ban.

2. Game suspension applies to 10 yellow cards up to and including the 32 game. We are passed that stage

He manages to score 46 goals every season . World beater who we should sell to balance our books . Ha Ha!

Reading in the Daily Mail today there is an article saying that the player to watch in the EFL is Ed Turns now playing on loan at Crewe.He was obviously called back by Brighton because he was not a regular in the Orient side . Unlucky for us he is a left sided C/H and behind Happe in selection. Acco...

Story of O wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 5:20 pm He can’t be recalled, but we are looking at the possibility of signing unattached players

2 trialist defenders played in the friendly game against Southampton earlier in the week. Does anybody know who they are ?

Richie clearly not happy with the Jan transfer window, going as far as having to be given a dressing down by Travis for public criticism. Clearly he holds Ling responsible for transfer activity. During an interview back in Jan Wellens basically said transfer dealings are nothing to do with him. Won...
