They need to start scoring, that’s for sure.

luckily they have competition on the bench pushing them and making them work hard for their starting positions...oh...

Competition is good, you should know that being in 3rd place behind the other 2 Orient podcasts 😂

Been impressed with Angol in the 2 home games so far. Think he will turn out to be an improvement on Bonne.

When you have Alabi, sitting on the bench, waiting to take your place, it must inspire you to improve...no?

Two forwards who are good with their feet, so naturally we aim every ball at their heads.

Bonne got plenty of service aiding his scoring ability , we seem to be playing everything in the air instead of keeping the ball down , i'm sure with the right service ( maybe from the new midfielder coming in ) our forwards will start to score .

Bonne really didn't get plenty of service.

Bonne and Koroma struggled to score goals with the 5-3-2 formation so it's asking a lot of a new pairing to do any better with it.

Angol looks tricky, clever feet often makes space for himself but seems to be doing his best work well away from the box.

Crossing service into them is really poor at the moment so can't really judge them on that either. The only chance that both may have done better with today was that double save in the second half, both shots seemed to go very central.

IMO we are missing Dayton big-time. I was glad to see him running up the stairs to the Legends Lounge after the match.
