Brought in partly to cover Mitchell who evidently needs an operation soon.

Assume we're not going to see much of Thompson if we have brought in a new guy who keeps him where he is in the pecking order.

This story will no doubt have a sting in the tail.

I don't know what to make of this signing . It's a bit of an odd one . We need an experienced central midfielder so we sign another defender .

Well, we do need a few more players to smash balls up into the air to the opposition defenders. Welcome George.

Keith Day as a back up as we seem
light at Centre Half ..

With us playing three at the back and Mitchell needing an operation we did need another. Suggests no change from three at the back in the near future at least

Yes, the formation that isn't working and hasn't produced a single goal so far this year.

It worked generally ok up until the new year (remember we were seriously weakened v Tranmere) and wasn't great with defensive wing backs. That should be fixed now.

Yeah great another defender, that'll help us continue to not score goals or create any chances.

So tired of this club right now.

We can play 3 at the back with Beckles,
Happe and Thompson, with Wood as a
possible back up ..
Waited 6 weeks to get a right back in
the door now desperately need a creative
experienced centre mid we sign a centre
half ..

Only at The Orient ..

For it to work again we still need more experience in central midfield .

Signing another CB basically confirms Kenny doubling down on the three CB's

Beckles
Ogie
Mitchell
Thompson
Happe
Ray

Hector can play there, Moss, think Coleman too

Because without Clay we're getting out fought and out thought in the middle . We have nobody there pulling the strings .Mind you if we keep banging it long to Smith I suppose it doesn't matter

You don't need to be experienced to work hard, chase down/harry opposition players. We've hopefully got that covered with Ethan Coleman.
