Your questions please re last Saturdays game and of course the ongoing managerial vacancy or any other Orient based questions on your mind.
Live 7pm Phoenix 98fm or online

Who is Glen Wilkie? Presumably an old fart.

Ah, it'll be nice to have Lee Boyce on again. It's been hours since the last time.

My question this week is - Why?

Showing a lack of knowledge there PW, Glen played for the club as a teenager under Sitton in the mid 90s, he then spent several seasons in Finland. As a footnote he won Come Dine With Me, becoming one of two ex O's to have done so.
Re Lee, he is one of our panelists so averages one show in 4 like all the others.
As for "why", because listening figures are in the thousands, that's why.
Now if there's any questions.......

Is Glen Wilkie the 1990's version of Aron Pollock or Michael Clark?

I have to agree with PW, I don't remember Glen Wilkie either. How many league games did he play for us?

Tenuous.

Will Ross want to play second fiddle to a new manager?

How well does Martin need to know a manager before they get offered the position?

Will a new manager receive 100% assurances from club personnel that they won’t interfere in team selection?

Ross has said that's exactly what he wants to do.

How well did Ling know Davis? He played with Justin very briefly at Southend.

If you seriously thing there is interference in team selection then you either want it to be true or are well off the mark.

He is famous for being named & pointed at during Sittons steamy half time talk away to Brentford.

The one where Sitts yells " Who the f*** are you"?

Is there any chance of a serious question being posted by Disoriented?

Who would win in a fight between The OTF, LOFT and OFF?

This programme is cronyism at its finest. All the usual club stooges in one place together.

Do you want in?

Ignoring our current players, what do the panel think are the benefits of 352 over 442, if any.

And is it viable to change systems regularly, like home and away. Or even match to match depending on opposition.

Can players adapt

I suggest to YOU not to read these places.

Seems a bit rich to suggest that.

The one event the club got really upset about and thought was too rude and personal to an individual was on the Orient Hour, no? To an extent, Ross has put them in their place so that people know they can't cross a line. Dickenson's was hardly unreasonable and was just expressing an opinion.

The level of abusiveness was far greater in the Beelzebub era to players who had no real fault other than to be signed by the ownership.... few complained about that or stood up for the players, and neither did the managers of the club at the time.
