Up Front Pairing

[WickfordO]

So, who will partner Pele for the next three games? Surely not J.A.

[The Mindsweep]

Les Dennis

[LeighO]

Sortiriou please.

[Thor]

Byways1 so we can all take the piss out of him until the next game when we can all start again once more.

[Howling Mad Murdock]

Alabi? Sam Ling?

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

It’s not a pairing. We (currently) play 3 up top.

[O my gawd]

Les Dennis

Dustin Gee

If anything it'll make us more balanced, Wilkinson wide in the 3 was a bit of round peg in square hole. Got a nice choice of Dennis, JMD or Dayton to fill the gap.

Bigger problem is who to bring on when Harrold tires and finding a plan B once we can't go long. Alabi doesn't help in any of those scenarios.

Highlights why another striker is first thing on the shopping list for the new manager.

Too old.
Mind you I think I could give one striker a run for his money.

Probably play 3 like yesterday with Dennis replacing Wilkinson

[RedDwarf 1881]

Sortiriou please.

Yes, now is the time to give Sortiriou his chance . Alternatively he must be at least on the subs bench and start with Dennis up front beside Harrold.

[Thor]

If a fit Dennis can’t get in the team in front of a coming back to fitness Dayton then I’m guessing Dayton gets the nod next week.

Try Sortiriou first . He deserves his chance and could solve our problem without going into the transfer market.

[Red_Army]

I was thinking Dennis would be the natural replacement, but on reflection I think they'll go with Dayton. He is left footed and offers more defensively so will be closer to a like for like swap for Wilkinson.

[F*ck The Poor & Fat]

Time for Alabi to get a run out.

Which one?

Dayton can't be ready. He will need a gradual increase in his number of minutes.

What will be interesting is the new head coachs' view on his players. It gives the likes of Sotirou and a few of the youngsters a chance to make a favourable impression on him. It will certainly be interesting to see what he makes of Alabi!

[waigO]

JMD or Dennis in. No value in rushing Dayton after a bad injury. Simples.

[The Mindsweep]

Stick everyone behind the ball apart from a speedy one on the half way line. Soak everything up then boot anything loose upfield for speedy boy to chase and hopefully score. Strikers are over rated.

Fair point, it's the least risky area to try a raw young player. Got to offer more than Alabi.

@Little Mate I see you wrote above ''What will be interesting is the new managers view on his players.''
Yet when I mentioned the word ''Manager'' in a comment on the subject posted onb this forum e.g '''Neil Harris leaves Millwall
you posted this reply to me .....Post by LittleMate » Fri Oct 04, 2019 5:59 pm ''And we are not looking for a manager, we are looking for a head coach.''
To which I replied

''Rather pedantic but ok, most people would say Manager of Leyton Orient, a title that the late Justin Edinburgh was usually known as and referred to as in most media reports.''
So seems like @Little Mate and a few others on this forum just argue for the sake of it !

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

It will be Dennis on the right in a straight swap. Harold centre and Brophy left, again.

Could well be right there.

[Smendrick Feaselberg]

I guess it depends on the formation that the new head coach wishes to use. If it's back to 4-4-2 I reckon Harrold and JMD.

That's what it should be, that makes the most logical sense. However, will the DOF allow it?
