Come on you os. Of course everyone is entitled to an opinion, but the stick that certain players take is unwarranted. As I stated Ling is not the greatest full back I’ve seen at the orient but he is by no means the worse.
I’ve seen games where he has played reasonably well and yet some single him out for unnecessary criticism and I think that much of the dislike is based not on his performances but his family connection.
For the record I prefer turley to the other two.
You say Ling is not the worst full back youve seen at Orient.....who would you say was the worst full back you have ever seen in an Orient shirt?
It interests me what other O's fans think about players etc
Went out on a limb with Caprice. One of my favourite players and exactly the type of full back I like. There was nothing at fault with his effort and he always wanted the ball. Trouble is our system left him exposed when he went forward and Usain Bold would have struggled to get back. Scapegoated unfairly and big time. Sad to see him go. Glad he went to a team whose style best suited him and not surprised he has done well.
Just not the player that suited our style, a style that got us promoted. He did well, we did well. Win/win.

I suggested a few times on this forum that IMO Caprice was better suited to a wing-back type of role and got slated for saying so by some people on here who had different opinions to me. Well, hey-ho what happened when he went to Tranmere, they played Caprice in a wing-back role which suited him better and he had a good season as did his club who got promoted so, two promotions in two seasons for Tranmere Rovers, good for them !!
