We didn’t get rid of Ogie. We sold him.

Drinan and Thompson both under contract. You can’t just get rid of them.

You said you wanted a League One centre back. Great, so you sign Beckles and leave him on the bench with Ogie?

Vigs played pretty much every game last season. His replacement has got injured. You think a guy who has moved to Ireland to play would have been League One standard.

We have a big injury list. We have been very unlucky. Sometimes it’s not anyone’s fault.

Didn't watch tonight but scrolling back seems I'm living in a couple of your heads rent free :roll: Woopie he scored after being invisible for 3 games, and so the hype cycle repeats. I guess now we have Messi upfront it's all about the CBs now eh

Not sure anyone is calling him Messi, but he does have a nasty knack of finding the back of the net. He has had a decent start to the season, his first at this level.

He’s a weird player. I don’t know how he scores. His all round player, aside from dribbling, is awful. Touch is bad, decision making is bad, can’t win anything in the air, can’t cross but he manages to score.

Think he worked really hard tonight and that work got him chances

:lol:

Bit harsh. Agree his decision making is biggest flaw but - at least off the ball - he's shown he's maturing.

Ruel is the worst footballer that is somewhat effective I have ever seen.

Problem is he will have a good run of games and then goes off the boil, needs Møre consistency

Feel like I deserve an assist for saying out loud “I’ve had enough of this guy” while watching the stream.

Gshaw... I shouldn't get too down in the dumps because one of our forwards scored two goals last night. With a bit of luck he might not score again this season....

Our top scorer in open play (bar Smyth) in a Championship winning season is somehow not good enough for some people. :(

Personally, I'm happy if he's invisible in games as long as he is getting into shooting postions and scoring goals, that after all is the role of a striker.

As I've said before, Ruel is a penalty box player and playing him out wide or deep is a waste of time, he needs to play alongside another centre forward (someone more physical) to get the best out of him.

I hope RW is sensible enough to adapt to League One by changing the formation to suit the squad he has.

We keep him on the bench.
Apparently I only lost negative things about Orient and therefore cannot be a true fan.


Same clearly applies to you then.
