True.

Still again it comes back to and I think you’ve mentioned it previously it showed a lack of foresight in our striking options. I’m sure Justin would have continued to have used MH as an impact player, the fact he has had to be the main man at his age is tough, although full credit to him cos he has been a bright light through a dim period.

Alabi was out the door for sure, no doubt about it, but ML does not want to admit to a mistake so he takes him off the list PDQ, an massive error in my eyes. I like Alabi, but he is not the answer to the question. With Angol injured for quite sometime and Wilko suspended our striking options are being shown up for what they are, lacking in depth.

One man is responsible for that.

Fully agreed on that re Alabi. It's pretty clear from how he was treated last season, and how brought back into the fold this season, that that's the case.

Missing the 2 main strikers has had a big impact, therefore logic suggests you keep Sotiriou unless the manager knows that both will be available next week. However, I understand that it is a short term loan( 1 month ? ), so why have him cup tied. Strange call. Having said that the standard if football played by M & T was outstanding given their league status

so why have him cup tied. Strange call.............................Perhaps they guessed we would be knocked out the Cup! When you read the hysteria and calls for blood letting on this forum, it is strange to note that the pundits on Match of the Day, didn't criticise Orient, They just heaped praise on the minnows. Still, it must be remembered that the pundits of LOFCFORUM are the true experts and many Premier League Clubs are queueing up to share in their expertise in an advisory role.
