Kelman looks good
Perkins /Warrington/DJ , jury out

It’s not been a stellar transfer window
The quality players of Agyei/Brown/ONeill/Galbraith don’t look like they’ve been backed up, exception Kelman
Donley, only his second league match, could be quality as well

I think Clare has been a good addition.

Name them & Pay for em
If I knew names I'd be working as a scout not an IT guy :lol:
As for budget, it was there last season so where's the money gone?
Ask Nigel.
If you're only an IT guy how do you know it's a
gk cdm & lb that is required?

If you know what we supposedly need being an IT guy then you should know who they are & as for the budget,
Ask Nigel Travis or Kent Teague, why aren't you banging down the doors with them so they can give you the answers You need.

Seems a bit lazy of you leaving it to others
What are you prattling on about?

The positive is that we pretty much matched a team that will probably be champions. Aside from two f*** ups (one of them proper unlucky) we might have got something out of it.

Side note DJ looked like a snail at the end after coming on 2 mins before
I was getting strong Alabi vibes watching him get absolutely roasted in a sprint battle with their number 2… who had been on the field for the entire game!

One of the better Orient performances I can remember. Its a shame we have the goalkeeper we do, we could have taken points from 2 of the favourites to go up automatically.

Hopefully Sweeney and Obiero will kick on from this game, they were both excellent. Clare was a solid 7/10, which is exactly what you want every week.

Exactly, they looked nothing special but when you have the type of keeper we have they don’t have to be

I've just seen the goals again on TV. The first goal Hemming kicked the ball straight at the Birmingham player who scored . The second started with Sweeney losing the ball with a weak challenge. He's easily brushed off the ball and along with Hemming isn't League One standard .

All 3 goals today were abysmal. Not a great advert for league 1.

Birmingham’s second is the worst of the lot IMO.

GK, CDM, LB required, all senior pros

All 3 now in the building #visionary 😄
Two pros and one youth in the end, in the current budget times with Hemming staying that's pretty much as close as it gets
