Good luck to him.

Good luck to him. Ross comments seem like it is over for him here.

Let us hope we put in a no return clause.

It'll be interesting to see how many goals he gets at that level. On the evidence of what I've seen of him so far I don't think he's going to be banging them in. Its not hyperbole to say that he probably suits a Hornchurch or East Thurrock.

'Scowcroft moves' would have been a proper scoop.

About bloody time, Eastleigh must be desperate !
Just hope now he has gone we don’t go signing anymore past their sell by date players.

Good luck to the lad, but let’s face it he was another disastrous signing by Ling.

I longed for this day, after seeing him about twice. Another duff Ling 'find'

One of the worst 'players Ive ever seen at Orient in 53 years. He cant even control a ball.

with his contract up in the summer, we wont see him again

I remember you saying that at the time and we all probably myself included had a pop at you. You were right sir.

In 50 years I’ve seen far worse and I’ll start with Gordon Riddick and Sam Parkin. I like a trier and Alabi tried.

James Scowcroft also, couldn't even run.

Alabi was very much a blunt instrument, send him on to run at people and be a nuisance but any sort of hold up play, passing etc. was a hopeless case. That appearance this season where he was puffing 5 minutes after coming on showed he had no future here. Wish the guy well and hopefully he can kick on with Eastleigh.

Alabi did try but he could only run the same way as he was facing, this didn't exactly confuse opposition defenders.

Several other people said that as well.

I do remember people saying we should at least wait and see before jumping on him so if we're grading people's responses they are correct too.
