I'd have no arguments about those selections apart from not seeing Alabis name there .

I Would have put your reserve keeper in team (but was he an O? He was only on loan) and possibly McAnuff (based on last season) but not sure who to stop for him

Jakupovic over Cisak all day long. Aside from that pretty much on the money.

Jakupovic, yes IMO a better keeper than Cisak, but he was a short term loan player, so rather grasping at straws to select him.
If he had not been called back from his loan, who knows, we might well have got promoted to the Championship.

I think Jamie Jones was better than Cisak, in his early days here, before his two shoulder injuries. He turned out a real sh*t, but he was better IMO, than cisak
Cuthbert was a better CB than he was a right back IMO. I think Sam Ling should have been there

NOOOOOOOO........ONLY JOKING ABOUT LING HA

That team would rip everyone in league one and two a new one. We would destroy you with power through the middle, we’d rip you to shreds on the wings and up top you’d be decimated with hard running, hold up play and ultimately goals.

Game over and that team drops the mike and walks out the ground.

Adam Chambers is surely better than Lloyd James and had a better Orient career. Had some bad injuries but we got 195 appearances out of him over 5 seasons, not bad going. There are too many strikers on the bench, one of Simpson or Mooney has to go. Take out their one exceptional season and they were kinda average.

James was fortunate in some ways that he played alongside Cox, Vincelot, Odubajo for the most part, I don't recall him being much good in either the relegation season or League Two.

By contrast at one stage Chambers was called Superman cos he was the only one in the midfield doing any work.
