Yup and strengthening the squad, glad we've took points against the poorer sides they're the ones we have to put away

Don't want to be anywhere near that bottom 8 relegation scrap, where we are now is where we need to be staying as the baseline

Agreed.
Need to knick points off teams above us where we can

I'm absolutely delighted with that result . Winning with payers playing out of position and tired . Well done Orient ,fantastic stuff . Now for a two week break because Blackpool are playing in the FA Cup next week . A chance to rest and strengthen the squad before the Portsmouth game .

Great win today, still need signings in the transfer window.Squad is far to thin and has too many players that are not of League 1 standard.

They’re averaging less than a point per game. Not going to happen.

so were we 1st 4 games of the season then fleetwood oxford lincoln wigan derby. Lets not get to far ahead of ourselves. p.s Watford would have earnt us money to spend on a player.

I've just listened to Richie's post match interview . I could listen to his interviews all night . Anyway he said there won't be much movement in the transfer market but he would like another forward player. I was wondering if that would be a new striker ( Kelman ?) or a winger

That was over 4 games, not 24 games, tuffers.

We don’t need to worry about the bottom 4 (or, randomly, the bottom 6).

Not able to watch or listen today but thrilled to see the result - well done lads - a great Christmas.
