If you read the website! of course people don't! If they did they wouldn't be able to come on here and moan!

No Graham.

Seems to be a problem every pre season

Dialleng Jaiyesimi is the guy we got from Scotland, ex Charlton player.

The other two are academy.

Perkins not in the squad, injured?

Perkins is on the bench.

No Happe though?

Bye Dan, cheers mate.

Hang on, he was named on the bench

Jordan Graham was missing him in the physio room so he popped back in.

I hope the fans are in the stand they're streaming from, otherwise there's about 40 people there...

We're bound to sign their number 10 at some point in the season

It’s a 4-3-3.

Agyei and Kelman up top, DJ just behind them. No worth but very, very offensive.

Stream is sh*t. Gonna ask for my money back, don’t care if it’s for charity or not.

Kelmans on fire! Great strike for his second goal

2 - 1 to the O's after 55 mins.

Massively under if he keeps up this 2 goals a game rate.

RW was watching Bolton this evening. Graham was rested and Moncur has been ill. Simpson picked up a knock but should be ok for Saturday.

It was mostly men against boys for the first 65 minutes. We pressed spurs hard. Really hard. And it worked, we kept turning the ball over deep in their half, they were unable to play through us.

We were a lot more direct than we have been. Playing 4-3-3 meant no wingers so no real width and no moving the ball from side to side. Everybody’s first thought was to go forward. Agyei and Kelman kept looking for balls behind their defence. Not sure if that’s just because spurs played so high like their senior team or what we’ll see all season.

Kelman should have had a third - an easier chance than his goals - but missed, they then went down the other end and Simpson f*cked up, gifting them a way back into the game.

There was a complete swap out on 65 minutes which highlighted the deficiencies in the squad. James, Pratley, Obeiro and ONeill are fine. Perkins, Pegrum and all the other kids aren’t.

All 4 CBs were a bit wonky tonight. Not sure what’s going on there, thought that was our strongest area. Cooper the best of the bunch, Beckles the worst.

We need a No.9 as a direct replacement to cover Agyei, with Kelman and Perkins coming off the bench to replace either.

We need more than just Kelman & Perkins as cover for Agyei.
If Dan Agyei stays fit he will score 15-20 goals

Kelman & Perkins will score 5-10 between them.

We need another No.9 who will chip in with 10+ goals.

100% this .

Agree too but not necessarily the predicted stats.

You'd have to think that the starting XI last night will be our starting XI for the beginning of the season..... I guess we'll see on Saturday v Dagenham.

It could be that some of the choices - DJ over Ollie O'Neill in the 10, Sweeney over James at LB - were final chances to see how they fared. But it definitely looks as if we're going with this 4-3-1-2 to get Kelman on the pitch.
