James Brophy
Would we take him back? Just seen his his deal ends at the end of the season?
For me his a mirror of Theo minus the attitude so would take him anyway. Plus can do the Wing Back role that sometimes gets deployed

Re: James Brophy
No , in the 2 games against Cambridge this season he did very little. We can do a lot better

Re: James Brophy
Thought that generally he was a player who flattered to deceive. Some excellent moments but too easily goes missing or at best operates around the fringes rather than exerting real influence. Not one for a tough battle and a bit whingey for me. Now if only Dave McGee was young and fit.

Re: James Brophy
Theo’s attitude? His personality and bite is what makes him a better player. I’d take him over Brophy all day

Re: James Brophy
Do Orient fans hate players with excellent feet now?
I think he's very talented, just needs more end product.

Re: James Brophy
Agree but he isn’t going to learn how to have an end product at almost 30 years oldLong slender neck wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 7:17 am Do Orient fans hate players with excellent feet now?

What he has - or at least did have - was ridiculous pace. Although I didn’t see much evidence of that this season in the games against us. He’s nowhere near the level of Theo or Graham.

Re: James Brophy
Brophy won a fair few pens and FKs by falling over well but beyond that he wasn't anything special and, as noted above, didn't exactly show us what we were missing in both our wins over Cambridge.

Re: James Brophy
Excellent player who was criminally used at Orient. Wasted his career at left back. Definitely worth re-signing as a squad player.
Orient fans absolutely love a bit of revisionism when a player wants to leave the club.

Always thought the only thing he had was pace so not for me.

Re: James Brophy
He could dribble with the ball all day, but these did not result in a goal or assist as often as they should have.JimbO wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 11:45 amNot sure how you can have excellent feet and need more end product?Long slender neck wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 7:17 am Do Orient fans hate players with excellent feet now?

Re: James Brophy
Was my first thought too
Agree though with one exception, would have Ebou Adams back here tomorrow if he became available

Re: James Brophy
Aged 29 he should have more than 10 league goals to show for over 300 league games. I'd like to know what talent he has, because speed is an ability. Cambridge wont be renewing his deal IMO.Long slender neck wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 7:17 am Do Orient fans hate players with excellent feet now?
