Question for the stattos, when did Shabani play a game for us? I'm guessing Papa John's Trophy? Brendon Shabani's only appearance was an FA Cup, First Round, match against Stevenage on 7/11/2020. He played all 120 minutes, ( extra time involved,) as an Attacking Mid-Fielder. Orient lost 6:7 on pena...

JMD is not mentioned. Judd returned to Orient from Barnet on 18 March 2021.

Several people have made honest estimates / guesses regarding the number of players who have left the club since the completion of the 2020/2021 Season as opposed to the number of players we have signed, so far, for the 2021/2022 Season. I decided to do the research as follows. "APPEARANCES&quo...

JACK BONHAM 27, 6" 4" - may also be in the frame. Simon Royce was his goalkeeping coach at Brentford for 5 years, (2013 - 2018,) and again at Gillingham (2019 - 2020.) 49 appearances for Gillingham last season and has turned down their contract offer.

No. Other than emergency loans, (usually goalkeepers,) we will not be allowed any loanees after the deadline - Monday, 1st February.

Hi everyone! A lifelong O's supporter here living in Australia. My family have supported the Orient since about 1910, ( Clapton Orient days.) Felt I should make a contribution to this thread. For anyone who is interested, please go to www.worldometers.info/coronaviurus. Click on "Yesterday"...

The Striker would replace Matt Harrold and the Centre-Back would replace Ekpiteta.

There must be something going on with Sotirious move as we are keeping him on a weekly contract so that we can collect a fee. We probably cant afford to sign anyone until he moves on and i expect whatever his next potential club is they are similarly trying to move someone on. Cant be Stevenage can...

Manny Onaraise - Has joined Scunthorpe for a fee - ref. Barking & Dagenham Post.

Thanks EastDerehamO. Much appreciated. Re Macclesfield - I was referring to Stevenage Chairman talking "legal action" and, apparently, other clubs in our league being dissatisfied with Macclesfield's most recent points deduction, ( not enough,) and, perhaps, that decision being reviewed to...

O.K. - I have now found that info. on the internet.

I haven't seen any recent news about the National League Play-Offs required to decide the team which will replace Stevenage, ( or, perhaps, Macclesfield.) No doubt play-offs are being organised there but I have seen no reports, in particular no dates and confirmation that Barnet qualify on a points ...

If we are looking for a left back.............Adam Chicksen, (28,) was released by Bolton Wanderers on 13 January. A good League 1 / League 2 level FB who is not scared to get forward and cross the ball. Knows the club well having spent 2 previous loan spells here, ( one of those during the "It...

:lol Nostalgia time! Results from his last 4 Manager Gigs are as follows: Charlton - Played 21 / Won 5 / Drew 10 / Lost 6 Coventry - P 16/ W 3 / D 5 / L8 Grimsby - P 43 / W 11 / D 12 / L 20 Hereford (To 4 /01/20.) - P 23 / W 5 / D 8 / L 10. Those that want him back are living in the past. He "l...

If the money has "run out" (whatever that means) then we'd go with just what we have for the rest of the season. Don’t think that statement is true. What is more likely is the club is being run to a budget and it’s right that it is respected otherwise we end up in all sorts of financial t...

It's all about money and the owners being unwilling / unable to invest any funds beyond what the original budget for this season required. They are trying to minimize the cost effect of the "Fletcher Stuff Up". They are happy to settle for 23rd place because additional funding to get us to...

Has anyone had the thought that our new Manager / Head Coach could be John Terry? Consider: (1) Historic and close relationship between ML and Dean Smith - negotiations may have been with Smith's consent, (2) Terry bought a Surrey mansion earlier this year and has probably been commuting to Birming...

The conjecture starts -It's ok for me I just either read or ignore. I remain very sceptical about the positive effect these football club forums boards have on the end product of the welfare of any club: on this forum we have; 1. We have posters when disagreeing ends in abusive words. 2. The extrem...

Chris Hughton

Oh yeah! Forgor to mention that the speculators on Facebook are promoting George "Mini" Marsh as a loan from Spurs.

I`d rather have Alex Woodyard. https://the72.co.uk/142789/darren-ferguson-speaks-out-after-revealing-peterborough-united-vice-captain-is-looking-to-leave/ I noticed your first post about Woodyard, made yesterday evening on this thread, and think that's a great call. Trouble is that a couple of Leag...

Shrewsbury reference has now disappeared off of Wikipedia. Can't trust anything these days...

Has signed for Shrewsbury already - refer wikipedia. Perhaps this may encourage them to "fast-track" off-loading Anthony Grant?
