I think we are planning for a team full of Josh's

Welcome back Josh and I wish you well in E10. Nice interview and very touching and you did well to hold it all together.

Let us go win the league in Justin's memory.

Up the O's

If Josh calls for a pass there's a good chance one of them will get it.

This is good news, and a small step forward for the club at the end of a dreadful week.

Welcome Josh

Welcome back Josh. Very touching interview on twitter with him, Justin had confidence and had belief in him and for me we need to cherish that he was Justin's last signing, clearly he meant a lot to Josh and I'm sure like others he will want to do it for Justin this year.

Welcome young Josh. Good luck.

Let’s hope the TJS morons give him a break this time.

If he turns out like Jobi who also said he had unfinished business at the O's, we're going to be fine.

So many players with the initial J we should be known as the O Jays this season. Let's dig out their back catalogue, gotta be a good terrace song in there somewhere.

Finally some good news.

Happy with this.

Don't remember him that well, presumably wasn't great or awful then from my perspective.
Always wish our new signings well, so good luck Josh

Looking at the Bradford fans replies on twitter, you’d think he was on 10k a week and had one leg and was blind.

Personally I’m glad we have him. I think he’s a good character and was half decent for us when it was difficult for anyone to be good.

To me he is Clay but with a few more goals. I don’t see them two working together as a midfield 2 and I’d expect it to be one or the other. We must still bring in another centre mid, maybe two.

Don't rate him but JE knows far more than me about football so hope he proves me wrong.

Thought he was pony last time around and Ive made it clear I didn’t want him back.

BUT.......

- Everybody was pony under bechetti, so it’s unfair to single him out.

- He’s gone on to play, apparently successfully, at a higher level than we’ll be in next season.

- Justin rates him.

He’ll be feeling the loss of Justin as much as anyone else in the club, he’ll be desperate to do well, he should easily be able to do a job in L2. So it’s a clean slate as far as I’m concerned.

Good luck Josh, go for it, make Justin proud.

Exactly this. Back in Jan 2018 I was disappointed the first thing Justin did was get Jobi to extend his contract. Given what we all now know, that was obviously the right thing to do and I was massively wrong. Josh has played for Justin before so you have to accept he’s the right man for the job.

Think you’re wrong. I reckon he’s here to replace Jobi and play alongside Clay......

Haven’t seen josh for 4 years and in the interview he did say he feels like a different player so you might be right.

Me neither. But the way Josh talks, Justin done exactly the same with him as he has with Jobi here.

With JMD in front of them, it kind of works. You don’t need an out and holding player/ball winner when youve got the extra man. Assuming the 3-5-2 remains, obviously.

That was a great interview, by the way. One too many references to our great fanbase but really emotional, unsurprisingly.

I'm hoping him being back near his family and settled means he'll play well but fans of his last 2 clubs are pissing themselves that Orient have signed him.

Here's hoping for the best.

Look at the post on Orient’s twitter account of him holding the shirt up/being announced

Ah. Cheers.

I’m gonna trust Justin’s judgement more than a couple of random tweeters and get behind this, regardless.

I think we’ve been glad some players left Orient, only for them to do the business elsewhere. No reason why other fans are different from us sometimes.

Give the guy a chance.
