Re: The Ling Interview
Childish comments and mental illness is no joke.
Back to the comments re Turley, I don’t see him playing right back as Lings got thatnsealed down right now, rightly or wrongly depending on your views on him. However, we are not exactly covering ourselves in glory at centre half, I think that’s where we will see him played, big, strong, quick and has played at this level previously. Just needs to get match fit.

Re: The Ling Interview
Of course not, but it's OK for certain boarders to carry on with relentless online abuse on some individuals at the club.

Re: The Ling Interview
That's the one fair criticism of Judd, he suffered with a lot of injuries last season. But then again, so did Lingy. He was out just as much.

Re: The Ling Interview
I like Juddy but you have to remember he's still very young. If it wasn't for the Beelzebub mess, he would not have made an appearance for Orient so early, and would probably be at the same stage of his development as Sotiriou and Sargeant, and wouldn't be considered a first team player. I feel for him because he has flaws in his game still that will be exposed at this level, and is probably overrated because he is a youth team graduate and behind the DoFs son in the pecking order. The truth is though that right now Ling is a better player and that Juddy hasn't had a good game for Orient since 2018.RedO wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2019 10:05 amThat's the one fair criticism of Judd, he suffered with a lot of injuries last season.

Re: The Ling Interview
Agree with your assessment of Judd, he was thrown in earlier than he otherwise would have been, but he coped. Admirably.
I still refuse to accept that Ling is the better player. The only advantage he has over Myles is his long throw.

Re: The Ling Interview
Let's be honest, if it wasn't for the family connection, Ling would not have been signed.
At the time he was brought in, there was arguably a need for another right back. Caprice had the shirt ahead of Myles, but was not exactly setting the world alight. But three right backs for the one position was massively overkill. Especially when we only had the one left back on our books.
If Justin had brought in an experienced right back to shore things up, let Caprice go, and continued to let Judd develop you could understand it. But to bring in another player of similar* quality, but even less experienced and still needing that time to develop just doesn't make any sense.
* whether you want to argue one is better than the other, you have to accept there isn't a huge amount to choose between them at present, although one clearly has the greater potential.

Re: The Ling Interview
Fair assessments, I happen to think Ling edges Judd, but when either is playing I want them to do well.
Sometimes I get the impression from some boarders, that they're happy to see someone struggle or fail so they can have a dig.

Re: The Ling Interview
I would be surprised if any real fan wants a player to do badly just to say “told you so”
Who edges it? Hard to say as we have yet to see Judd get a run of games. To me they are quite different types of player, Ling is less dynamic but some may say more reliable. Judd gets stuck in, rash at times, and likely to create more going forward but perhaps riskier at the back. I think perhaps that’s why JE went for Ling, the safer option, and it worked for us at that time.
Down to personal taste. I love aggressive attacking full backs, which is why I rated Caprice and Clohessy. Probably why I don’t rate Ling and prefer Judd. But Ling has the shirt and it’s his to lose, I doubt a new manager will play around too much early on.

Re: The Ling Interview
I honestly can't believe people think that Judd is an 'attacking' full back. He's not even more 'attacking' than Ling. He's tenacious and gets stuck in, but he's not the sort of player who flies up and down the wing, getting crosses in.dOh Nut wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2019 12:08 pmI would be surprised if any real fan wants a player to do badly just to say “told you so”

Re: The Ling Interview
Flying up and down the wing getting stuck in works for me. And this he does. Like Ling, he is a young player learning his trade so we can expect parts of his game to improve with practice. But unlike Ling he will not get the chance to improve that aspect of his game.Red_Army wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2019 12:23 pmI honestly can't believe people think that Judd is an 'attacking' full back.

Don’t really matter tbh. Short of Ling getting injured, and I don’t wish that on any player, Ling has got that spot for the season, short of a disaster, the Turley will step in.

Re: The Ling Interview
They're different sides of the same coin in a way. Both similar stature physically, Judd is more outgoing in his approach, some might say rash but certainly gets stuck in. Ling more reserved, perhaps seen as more solid as a result but both liable to make defensive lapses.
They also both appear to suffer from lack of confidence, with Judd it was said the relegation season affected him despite being one of the best performers in that group of youth players. Ling similarly started off well when he first came in for Caprice but lost form badly and no doubt the signing of Turley came off the back of it.
One could argue that's down to their young ages and as above it is a bit of a strange place to be in having two developing RBs. Turley had made that spot his own by end of last season and no doubt would've started there this time around were it not for injury.
Personally want to see any player in our shirt succeed. Sometimes it doesn't happen for whatever reason and no amount of support will change it.

Judd will look to go forward as soon as we pick up the ball. He will provide another option. Even if doesn't get it, he occupies another defender. Ling will hold his position, some unkinder than me would say he hides. This is without doubt the biggest difference between the pair and the main reason I'd plump for Judd every single time.

Re: The Ling Interview
Assuming you are talking about Judd and injury, as someone mentioned it appears to be a weakness, or just a reflection of the type of player he is.

This is without doubt a part of his game he needs to work on. He charges in too quickly, Ling in contrast holds off far too much. One takes responsibility the other does not. Both need to find that balance, that changes an average player into a good one. Judgement.

Re: The Ling Interview
I think you have described why some like Judd over Ling. Judd goes for it, Ling in my opinion avoids responsibility. Maybe he just lacks confidence but I would love to see a little more adventure from him when forward. Gets into good positions sometimes but is looking for the short, safe, 5 yard pass rather than taking responsibility for having a go. Frigging annoying.RedO wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2019 1:25 pmThere's no comparison between them offensively.Red_Army wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2019 12:23 pmI honestly can't believe people think that Judd is an 'attacking' full back.

Re: The Ling Interview
Ling has improved over last season of that there is no doubt.
However, he can't defend, he can't cross, doesn't track back quickly enough, 90% of the time he passes backwards or at his most adventurous sideways.
Judd can't cross is too impetuous in the tackle at times.
I still believe that Judd is the better player however, others think differently.

Judds crossing was also vastly improved last time he played, as I recall. Obviously something he’d been working on.
