Dennis changed the game when he came on where as jmd did nothing other ...

There's no way he'd be recalled this season with the amount of midfielders available to Spurs. He's sharp and competitive, could be just the player lots of people have said we're crying out for, just depends on how he adapts to L2. That’s if he starts, who do you think will make way for him? Happe ...

Think this result is slightly different from the Macclesfield one, in that for me, Plymouth will certainly be challenging at the top of the table. So no shame in losing out to them but, as you say, if we don’t get a result against Stevenage then the alarm bells will start ringing.

I spoke to a Pompey fan to get his view on our new signing Louis Dennis, you can read it here. https://therealefl.co.uk/2019/08/02/hes ... is-dennis/

Don’t want to come across as some kind of ITK tw*t, but have it on good authority that there’s nothing in this Judd to Coventry rumour.

New piece on the difficulty The O's face in trying to replace Macauley Bonne and Josh Koroma. https://therealefl.co.uk/2019/07/01/rep ... n-opinion/

Got asked by a Huddersfield blogger to write a short scout report on Koroma this evening. So evidently they think it’s pretty close.

I’ll predominately be covering Orient but there will be other writers on the site covering their respective sides in Leagues One and Two. And as far as Matt Stevens goes I’ve only really seen a few twitter rumours linking him with us and Stevenage, nothing massively substantial so far. I do believe ...

Hi guys this is my first piece for a new site that covers League One and Two called 'The Real EFL'.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Can’t see it happening but would love Andy Edwards back. Think he’d bridge the gap well between not being too closely involved with the tragedy of Justin’s death but also still not being a total outsider, as he’s already coached the likes of Judd, Koroma and Ling from a young age. He impressed me du...

Hi guys, obviously it’s all subjective, footballs a game of opinions that’s what it’s all about. I’m studying sports journalism at the minute and this was mainly done to keep me writing a little bit while I’m on holiday. So I appreciate any feedback, even if you disagree with me, cheers.

He’s definitely got the ability to be a football league striker, I’ve heard murmurs about his attitude though

Will always remember him for one of the most cynical and unnecessary red cards I’ve ever seen in the game away at Torquay. Fair enough it was born out of frustration but he could have seriously injured the Torquay player and he showed awful professionalism by doing that and missing the next three ga...
