I'm not and I completely agree with Qin. If we can see the squad is still too weak why can't the club ?
You completely agree with whatever is the trend at the time. You’re like a fkn teenager who has no opinion of their own and just jumps on the bandwagon of the most popular theme at the time. Have a day off and grow up ffs.
Not true . If I don't think the squad is strong enough I'll say so if that's OK with you .

That's the mad thing, what is plan B when that almost inevitably happens at some point? Kelman and Jaiyesimi up top?

We’ll go back to 1 up top, that being Kelman.

The only reason we’ve changed formation is to accommodate Kelman.

Not as disappointed as the Investors will be when Agyei is overworked and picks up an injury.

Which the opposition will be very happy about, I like Kelman (perhaps more than many given the reaction to his signing) but leading the line is definitely not his forte

Oh, I totally agree. Just saying the only reason we’ve gone 4-3-1-2 is to get Kelman on the pitch.

And there lays the problem . Kelman isn't strong enough or good enough to play the lone striker role .

At League One level, Kelman 11 in 65, so in 46 games he would average let us say four, not sure where Wellens sees him scoring all these goals from
At League One level Ayegi has 22 in 135, I like Dan and think he is more capable than that but how Wellens sees both getting double figures baffles me

What a load of codswallop. Quote misleading stats, and then ignore them with "let us say" and a guess. Not sure how you go from 11 in 65, to 4 in 46. Also plenty of Kelman's League 1 time has been from the bench. Looking at minutes played equates to 36 matches, so perhaps 11 in 36 may be a better starting point.

Kelmans issue is that he isn’t physical enough nor fast enough to play up top ion his own and occupy a defence. Against a pair of average L1 CBs, he’ll be dominated. Richie knows this, which is why he’s changed our whole formation to accommodate him.

His finishing is fine.

Wasn't my Intention to make them misleading, I simply got them from the transfer market site, by the same yard stick though, does that not imply he hasn't been good enough to start in League One, only a few months ago, Wigan started him then dropped him

Dear Supporter,


Thank you for purchasing a live streaming pass for one or both of our pre-season matches against Tottenham Hotspur U21s and Dagenham & Redbridge.


We are getting in touch to offer you a refund for your passes. The providers that we used for the fixtures encountered issues on both occasions that, very frustratingly, impacted fans’ viewing experiences.


For that we would like to apologise. To request a refund for your passes, please email media@leytonorient.com before 23.59pm BST on Friday 9th August and these will be arranged for you.


From Saturday 10th August when we host Bolton Wanderers in Sky Bet League One, Orient Live will return in its normal capacity for overseas supporters with a 30-minute preview show preceding the match action.


We will be working with our normal providers from the season opener and going forwards and look forward to providing the coverage that fans have become accustomed to enjoying over the past few seasons.


Although live video streaming of EFL competitions is only permitted overseas, fans all over the world can listen to every word of our Orient Live productions by purchasing an annual or monthly commentary subscription.
