I take your point but Drinan scored 13 League goals, as did Smith.

In all competitions was a good return, sometimes you don't necessarily need one 20 goal a season man (although of course it does help) if your front 3/4 can return good numbers. Which makes last years mid season collapse when we was barely scoring all the more frustrating.
Classic symptom of not having the strength in depth to navigate the tough winter fixture schedule. As it stands history will repeat itself unless we get freakishly good fortune with no injuries or suspensions. Even then a midfield of Clay, Pratley and the 4 kids isn't going to cut it.The Big Shot wrote: ↑Sat Jun 18, 2022 4:47 pm Which makes last years mid season collapse when we was barely scoring all the more frustrating.

Need another striker to come in with the quality to add cover for Drinan and give us a wildcard option. Wellens mentioned a higher league Young loanee for that which would be ideal if we get someone decent, not Ling's usual weak filler signings.
Omotoye and Moss definitely wouldn'tStory of O wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 8:01 amArchibald and Mitchell might argue with thatgshaw wrote: ↑Sat Jun 18, 2022 10:30 pmClassic symptom of not having the strength in depth to navigate the tough winter fixture schedule.

It might be the case we've been turned down by a couple of players . I think Thompson would have been a good signing but he went to Peterborough .Orient till I die M wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 3:34 pm Pre season starts tomorrow and we haven’t signed anyone, yes Archibald etc but new players to improve last seasons squad. We must be getting rejected by a couple of players I can’t see how RW wouldn’t of wanted some new faces in by now to have a full pre season with the squad.
Ling must be asking sam if he has any recommendations.
waiting waiting waiting .....

I would grab Telford with both hands, ( not literally ), if we could have him at Orient.
I do know there's not a chance as he wants to play higher up the leagues
I agree , I’d rather have the goal scoring shared around than rely on one player . If that player gets injured you’ve had it .ComeOnYouOs wrote: ↑Sat Jun 18, 2022 6:09 pmI take your point but Drinan scored 13 League goals, as did Smith.

If I read it properly he only had one good season which was last season . Before that he was nothing much . It'll be interesting to see how he goes next season .waigO wrote: ↑Sat Jun 25, 2022 8:48 amTelford gone to Crawley then.

Taking out the equation all our newly re-signed players the only Orient player I can think about who could draw attention is Ogie. IMO, Ogie isn't ready to step up a level just yet but I reckon he will be shortly . Hopefully that step up will be with Orient .
I think Harry Smith might go - some rumours that Gillingham might bid for him. Drinan will start and Smith is likely to be on the bench, big man with a few goals to his name will attract clubs if he is not starting RW has said he would like to bring in experience in midfield and a younger striker so would make sense.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 12:56 pmTaking out the equation all our newly re-signed players the only Orient player I can think about who could draw attention is Ogie.

Yes, central midfielders we know we need . A new young striker is mean't to back up a strike force that includes Smith. Do we not already have that younger striker in Sonny Fish ? Anyway , if the club really wants promotion then we should keep all our remaining players and add two or three more .Top of the JES wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 1:36 pmI think Harry Smith might go - some rumours that Gillingham might bid for him.
