When you look back that National league squad was crazy Bonne, Koroma, Marvin all went to play in the Championship, Brophy League One And we got barely anything for them in return We got promotion back to L2. Came to say the same, we got those players on a free, they did a great job for us, won a t...

Joe Pigott, hasn’t worked out, JP great lad but not RW’s type of player. Really does make you wonder how that signing came about, hopefully Richie's recruitment process improvements will be followed this summer Wants two athletic full backs in, as well as g/k, midfield and forward. Bang on, he does...

Club would have been mad to give a three year deal to Smyth. His fitness record was very poor when we signed him and he barely played in the first season. Shorter contracts are insurance for the club as much as for the player, as we'll see this summer with Moncur and Piggott, it's hard to get under...

Peterborough wanted £6.5 million - He may well be worth that one day if he continues to develop but as good as he is I think they should have taken the £4million from Watford with both hands tbh. We would have got 20% sell on once the £300k we sold him for had been deducted so a nice little £740k a...

In case anyone is unaware, I rate Hector, a lot. But £4m???

Galbraith had arguably his best game of the season at Shrewsbury (yes, I know it was only Shrewsbury) playing in the 10 role. Would love to see him playing there again next season, ideally with Idris behind him. This, Galbraith to take the place of Moncur as our starting 10 then with El Miz / repla...

You can never be sure with Orient social media admin, probably working on how they can edit him into a Marvel scene before the next video drops

Independent chap free of party political interference

Monkey boy, where do you get your information from mate 🤔🤣 TBF, MB has been posting some better stuff lately. But he posts about Wellens every few weeks "won't be here after the season ends" "wouldn't be surprised if etc etc". Hopefully he will leave it alone now and be a bit mo...

Reverse Jonah did the trick again, use the powers wisely

Excellent news, El Miz next please

Yet... no guarantee any of the ones offered contracts will sign

Also Ethan Light, what a waste of wages never even got near the first team, what was that move all about

Am surprised Hunt has been let go seeing as he was specifically brought in by Richie. Saying that, was the right decision as I think he struggled somewhat at this level. It's the kind of tough decision that's needed this summer to progress the squad. Hopefully should allow us to bring in a faster p...

Would hope a new CM would get it in the scenario Pratley moves into coaching

You are now famous in Barnsley as they mention your January transfer quote, wish they'd seen your " we're paying Ed Turns £3k a week one".

Which quote?

The best idea yet, maybe we can get McMahon back to be step-manager during the off weeks

I hope I'm doing a reverse Jonah on this by voting No but I have my concerns and it all goes back to that January window.

100% agreed , Wellens ain't going nowhere

That double negative doesn't reassure me

Leyton Orient’s Player of the Season: Ruel Sotiriou. Award presented by G Shaw !! :lol: I wondered if you'd pick up on that one, gave me a chuckle Best way to put these RW rumours to bed will be if it gets posted up on TC9 Twitter / X account then we'll know it's BS Or check if his mum has stopped ...

Just as important is when the pre-season friendlies are arranged choose teams that have a decent playing surface and not the usual fifth tier teams with poor pitches. Some of our players were injured in pre-season playing on these pitches. I asked that question to RW on the Orient Hour, he said tha...

PT is not a consideration (whether he joins Richie or not). There's no-one else internal (thankfully Richie got rid of McMahon as soon as he could, otherwise he'd be in the frame). After having to deal with a head-strong, impulsive character for the past 2 years, I can see Lingy reverting back to t...

Because of RW rumours or something else?

Overlooked so far when he was miles better than anyone else

Yeah, ridiculous that Idris hasn’t received anything.

Is he there? Seen a pic where Cooper looks the double of Luke Shaw but can't see El Miz in that shot
