Talking on Wednesday about Ogie, Ross said, “I think a night like tonight was fantastic because yes, he did very, very well in the first half, but what it does now is it gives us a real opportunity to show him that he’s good, different sides of his game and in a competitive environment so we could only have done him an incredible amount of favours tonight to be involved in that.”
Doesn’t sound as if he will be starting on Saturday.

Redcard wrote: ↑Sun Sep 22, 2019 10:58 am Red o, so if we are on a winning run we don’t disturb a winning side, and according to your wisdom if we are losing and shipping goals we don’t play him because he is inexperienced. Total nonsense, we play him because he is an excellent player, quicker than any other of our full backs, stronger than any of our full backs and more energetic than any of our full backs. You are acting as though he has never seen a football before. Have you ever seen ogie play?

He really does look like the real deal, I picked him out for mention on whatever Leyton Orient forum was in place at the time as one for the future when I first saw him as a 16 year old in a live video broadcast of the Os youngsters 3-1 win against Plymouth Argyle. This game in May 2018, was advertised on Orient twitter and ended in Orient's U18's team being crowned as Merit League Two champions after a 3-1 win at the Matchroom Stadium. His contract runs out the end of this season, we need to get a contract extension for him ASAP.
Surely for a start, at least give him a place on the bench soon and get him on for a run out last 20 or so minutes, I rate him but IMO, bring him in gradually for a start and see how he gets on.

You discovered him Sid, there is no doubt about that. Mind you, you also championed Christian Scales.

''You discovered him Sid, there is no doubt about that''
No the club did that !! I just happened to notice him in that game that was shown live online( as did others ) and upon watching him play, thought he looked a young player to keep an eye on for the future.

''Mind you, you also championed Christian Scales.''
Yes Christian Scales, still only 22 years old and I often think there were things going on as to why he did not make it here, He looked really classy when I saw him play against some very good sides in the League Harlow played in ( Harlow had a very good side at the end of that season ) Nearly every week he got very highly rated write ups in the local paper. I have a feeling that perhaps there were reasons it did not work out for him, attitude to training perhaps, who knows what goes on. There are many talented footballers who do not make it whilst less talented ones come through for good carers. What annoyed me at the time was the fact that so many people on this forum were putting him down..........who had never even seen him kick a ball !! Scales is now playing for a team in Sweden. He must have had something about him, played for both Norwich and Crystal Palace in under 18 football and had a good left foot when he overlapped and put in PROPER crosses on the run when overlapping as a wing back. Also played a a left winger at times for Harlow. Getting a regular game for his Swedish team and has scored 3 goals in 13 games this season. Down to him to put the work in if he is to come good !!

You are way too modest Sid.

Smendrick Feaselberg wrote: ↑Mon Sep 23, 2019 7:52 am Genuinely funny how Sid always acts like he was the only person who noticed or mentioned a promising player's potential.

Include Christian Scales in this though, as that's genuinely funny for the opposite reason
