Turley back in, given the armband after Clay went off. Widdowson back in. I reckon we’ll see Angol return and offer more than he has. Heck, we might even see Louis Dennis show us what he can do.
Angol is injured. Dennis and Turley perennial sicknotes.

I hadn't really thought about us having appointed a black manager, more focussed on what he can bring to the job. He has been part of our Orient lives for a while now, that's good enough for me. He does have a good profile which won't do us any harm and I suppose, in the current climate, him being black adds to that profile. I am proud that I have never heard racist stuff at Orient (although there was possibly antisemitism around Scott Kashket's departure under previous owners)

Turley hasn't been injured for yonks, just excluded.

Wonder how PutneyO, ‘Ornchurch, Beragdogs and StockholmO feel about this?
If i was on that list I'd not be happy.

You're saying that these boarders are all racist a pretty strong accusation.

Couldn’t give a monkeys about being on his list. I know the truth and simply have a different outlook and opinions to him.

Just because people think "all lives matter" not just black lives matter doesn't make them a bigot or a racist like your self

Blacks Lives Matter doesn’t mean all other lives don’t matter. It’s just a semantics game that racists play to justify their bigotry.

Who’s saying they are all racist? Didn’t even use the word racist in my post. I agree though, it’s a serious accusation.

Seems like the only ones who have noticed the colour of the new manager are the ones that proclaim to not care about colour. Shocked I tell you. The ones who don’t care about colour are also the only ones virtue signalling away and talking to nobody in particular (see Huxley above) about how they are absolutely non racist but there are racists everywhere including on this message board. Purging themselves with self-flaggellation. What a weird bunch.

Got to laugh at those who get triggered by anyone who speaks up about race issues by trying to discredit them with terms like “virtue signalling” whilst simultaneously trying to convince everyone that they are perfectly tolerant people.

Simple question, do you support the BLM movement like our manager proudly does?

Seems that people like you apparently don’t care about race until ethnic minorities try to raise awareness about the issues they face. Suddenly it becomes really important for you to speak out against such movements.

And a black assistant manager too. Is that a first for a football league club to have a manager and assistant manager from BAME backgrounds?

Also on Tuesday (when Clay went off) we had a black captain and also a black goalkeeper. I'd be surprised if that's ever happened before in British football, and if that's the case then it really has been a long time in coming.

But according to Beradogs you’re a virtue signaller only interested in making yourself look good for noticing this.

Bigots really are idiots when you call their behaviour out.
