Well I thought Norwich was the last friendly
Would seem it’s not

Orient XI will make trips to Canvey Island and Potters Bar on Monday, July 29 and Tuesday, August 6 respectively. The latter currently employs former-O’s captain John Mackie as Assistant Manager.

Everyones fitness, especially the bit part players, wont be 100% yet so it makes sense to give the unused subs and squad players some playing time in case we need them.
