I don't think he has it in him to play as a no.10. He isn't a creative player and becomes a bit of a passenger in the build up play when he's in that position. It's the same issue as when he's on the wing - he's just too peripheral, his decision making too poor and too lacking in physicality to really impose himself on the game. Has looked occasionally passable in those positions isn't the same as doing well.

I think he could be a decent League 1 forward option as a no.9 as part of a front 2, but otherwise he isn't good enough for this level.

Just perhaps Wellens is playing him and Pigot the wrong way round? Personally I don’t think either is that great but playing Pigot just behind Ruel may work better

His best goals have all been when he doesnt have time to think, He hasnt got the footbaalling brain to be a 10. Definitely the sort to thrive on knockdowns from a big lump, we just dont play that game.

Yes, exactly this. I think he did well as an impact sub and wouldn't be too upset to see him return to that role.

[Hoover Attack]

He should only ever be an impact sub.

The problem is when we have to rely on squad players such as Ruel for a prolonged period of time.

This is the theme that LLF refers to below. We have certain players that are at best squad players that some give extra leeway on basis of being "young players".

As the phrase goes if they're good enough they're old enough and in the same vein if they're not we need more quality to be competitive further up the league.

Some care about developing the careers of young players to do well elsewhere, personally I couldn't care less what they do in the future only whether Orient are winning right now.

GShaw never has a good work about him Sweeney or Brown. He hates young players especially those from the Academy like Happe. It is a theme

We don’t have the budget to have two Dan Agyeis fighting it out for the number 9 slot and 2 Moncurs for the number 10. You have to have cheap squad fillers at this level.

Well we do but unfortunately Pigott is proving to be a busted flush as it stands.

Moncur is the other one we need to move on as he just doesn't seem to be anywhere near fit enough for L1 which is a shame

Pigott isn't the drain as we got him free.
We couldn't get anyone decent because they cost a fee.

The Alfie May's of this world go to the Charltons or Boltons or Pompeys of this League on double
the money someone like Pigott is on

Moncur will unfortunately be difficult to’move on ‘ I fear.
Who would take him on on his current form, and he still has 18 months of his contract to go.

Where Agyei has been a good signing, despite his injury earlier, Pigott has yet to show much why we signed him and again has 18 months to go on his contract and Richie has to try and use him as best he can.

There's no comparison between the share of the budget Ruel and Moncur are each taking up.

If we let Ruel go, we're not going to bring in another Agyei to replace him.

With hisn recent injury I don't think there's any danger of that happening, same as with Drinan who could've been a potential loan out.
