Apparently Waggy is injured, that's why he wasn't on the bench today.
Maybe Ephraim on the right and Jackson on the left, not sure how well he is progressing from his injury.
Progressing well, he reckoned a week of two and he would be back. That was last week, so you never know....though I don't want him to be rushed back to then suffer the problem again.
JJ is back in full training but is more likely to start on the bench - would be nice if Bover or Harriott could be given a shot if both Green and Waggy are unavailable.
In any case we have a big squad, Waggy starts - and he was excellent last season at Orient.
No, it's our second -and Danny Green's second too, as it happens - Green was suspended at the beginning of the season for a red card when playing for Dagenham last year. (Actually, if you include the boss, it's our third - Chris Powell was in the stands earlier in the season for, I think, 2 or 3 games?)
Danny was unlucky today. He was fouled all first half and the ref let everything go. Danny then did two fouls inside a couple of minutes and got booked. If they had been ten minutes apart he probably wouldn't have got booked. Ah well, it's only one game, gives Waggy a chance to impress, and at least Danny will be fresh for Brentford.
Yes, I can't see him being rushed back - a few sub appearances to ease him in I suspect. Fulham may be his first starting game. Whatever team Powell puts out, I'll back as he clearly knows what he is doing.
Going on the assumption of Wagstaff being injured for the O's match, I'd personally go for a midfield of:
Ephraim (rm) Hughes (cm) Russell (cm) Hollands (Lm).
Absolutely not. No point in taking lots of players out of position. We'd be better playing specialist wide men - we've got Evina, Harriott, Bover, Pritch all in the squad.

Is that our first suspension of the season?

We do still want Waggy at the club!
