Proper strange line up. Looks like a starting XI for that B-team cup thingy.

I thought he was one of our best players against Millwall. I don`t understand why he is on the bench.

Same, is it fitness related or has he pretty much signed as a de facto coach / dressing room presence?

Greetings from Western Australia. Managed to get the game live on Bein Sports Australia. Even better on a free week’s trial subscription.

So its a 2.45am kick off. I should know better. Come on O’s, everything to play for!

I agree but I think there would be a lot of sore, aching legs after Saturday’s efforts. He needs to manage minutes for the whole squad I would think.

Exactly, we have a small number of better quality key players who all seem to be a bit... fragile so no point risking your only decent LB for example for a Mickey Mouse cup game

What was that lack of effort from DJ. Minute 15 and he can’t be bothered.
