Sad to say but this is correct
He is not the problem , our defenders are .

Barely L2 standard, laughable at L1

Still time to get him out on loan to fund a more suitable striker... we can dream eh
Ruel is a goalscorer, playing him so deep is a waste and he may as well not play.

If Pigott is going to start every game then Ruel should be playing up alongside him otherwise I just can't see us scoring
Pigott was isolated and had little support……….obviously he’s not a No.9 but RW doesn’t play with two central strikers, as is the ‘modern way’ ………I like Ruel but he needs to play as an out and out striker to be effective IMHO
I don't think he can play up top on his own, he's not physical or quick enough but he has good feet and could benefit from some hold up from Pigott.

"RW doesn't play with two central strikers" - He may need to revise his thinking.

Let’s face it, 3 games in
Brynn injured long term, replacement needed
Howes not good enough
Hunt, Sweeney are not good enough for L1
James, Beckles struggling
Thompson injured but not good enough
Happe still coming back from injury, will be ok
Turns - needs game time, will be ok
Sanders - been injured, now on way back
Pratts - struggling with pace of L1
Brown - was non existent today
Galbraith - looks ok but out concussion injury
El Miz - Orient best player, must be thinking why did I come back
Moncur - not sure what’s happened to Monks
Theo - no service
Ruel - out of his depth
Graham - still not match fit?
Pegrum- 1st year pro, needs game time
Drinan - injured but not good enough for L1
Piggott - looks a handful but needs help and service
Agyei - injured long term
I have missed other young squad players as they haven’t had a chance (Sodje, Oberio, Tanga)

After going through the above list of players, I think it’s clear why we are struggling.

I honestly don’t know what the answer is?

2 new incoming attackers apparently this week?
We now also need a new GK on loan.
But what about defence, need 1 CB & possible a couple of FBs

Unless we can offload the players you don’t rate they are here until their contracts end

It hasn't taken Bandy Jeff long to get into his stride . It's only taken nine post's. Surely is an alias .

"Cesspit"

Can only think of 2 users who used that word in reference to this place. Huxley's one of them, and OFF is the other. Can't see it being OFF so hello Huxley.

And it's goodbye to Bandy Jeff.

There was a time when I could be arsed trying to work out who an alias was. Now it's just easier to press the big red button.

Thought that registration looked a bit dodgy. What you get for giving people the benefit of the doubt.

That alias lasted less than 24 hours from creation to ban. Is that a record?
