Do you still think we need a centre midfielder? Do you think not signing one will cost us the league? Mate you must be proper gutted today cos if our midfield was not good enough yet has delivered us the title what does that say for the other 23 teams?

Now is the time to admit you got it wrong and Ling and Edinburgh got it right.
The formation change is what saved us on the CM front. JE had to switch away from the 4-4-2 when it was clear Gorman / Lawless / Lee weren't cutting it alongside Clay and I'd say that decision to change to what we're playing now has proved to be the most decisive moment of the season.

That tactical decision is something your average fan can look at and go "yup, that's why he's the professional manager" as I don't remember anyone seeing that coming.

That and having wingers who play just as well in the middle also helps massively. Where would we be without Jobi McAnuff?!

Exactly that.

Genius move by JE to get around our obvious squad deficiency. Additional kudos for returning to it having tried it earlier in the season and failed.

This. Whether it was lack of funds, loyalty to existing players or not wanting to upset the camp, JE got round the issues we had in central midfield.

I would think the moaners are at home ranting at their misses if they’ve got one, their girlfriend, boyfriend, dog, cat, mum, sister, rabbit, parrot, cos they can’t show up on here just now!!!

Strange post. Have consistently said JE is the main reason we have got to this position. Not quite sure why at this exciting time you are being your usual negative self.

Bizarre.

They did show Kent in with our fans doing high 5s on the Tele. :oops:
I know, I saw it & thought it a marvellous thing to have an owner so committed to the Orient cause. Our owners are doing great work, long may it continue.

We put up with their nonsense all year, so I’m having a dig at them now, rather than next week when we confirm promotion and championship status. Will be too celebrating then.
Yeah go for the throats give them both barrels, Disoriented first

Justin has done wonders with what he was given but i cant deny that the owners got it right. Granted, the CM thing still stands. A couple of additions there and we would have won this league about 3 weeks ago. But the goal was promotion and we are on the very verge of achieving that so full credit.

Exactly. Although Jobi can play CM , he's naturally a winger . My player of the year is Clay because he's held that midfield together this season virtually single handedly. Whatever happens , we need two new centre midfielders in the Summer and we should offer Clay a new and improved contract because he thoroughly deserves it .

They're still moaning. Even though we're virtually champions they're still going on about our weakness in CM.

They are usually the first ones on here telling us how we’re going to get beat next week and how our position is all down to luck.
So you're happy with the clubs second worst ever placement in the English football pyramid? I remember when we had standards - it's attitudes like this that are seeing the country go down the drain.

You don't get under my skin at all. I just think you are an angry old bell end that's not happy with life and takes it out on Orient while you're waiting for your turn to die. And that's my opinion that I'm entitled to remember.

There are lots of Orient fans with clear anger management issues on this thread.

Sheesh.

Really not interested in firing off warnings / bannings constantly here - you're all relatively grown up and should be able to either get on / avoid each other without intervention. However that doesn't mean that intervention won't happen if it gets out of hand. Self-control all round if you can - that'd be nice.

As you were.
