Ben Alnwick

sidcup-red · January 2014

So why wasn't he in goal today or even on the bench? Simply injured as some believe or something more suspicious?

oohaahmortimer · January 2014

He was ill

stonemuse · January 2014

he's been abducted by aliens

Oakster · January 2014

He's on the bench for Carl Zeiss Jena tomorrow....

SELR_addicks · January 2014

Tinfoil at the ready.

Oakster · January 2014

Actually heard he had an Ujpest ~~Doza~~ Stomach

WSS · January 2014

He's gone to Standard Liege on loan

BigRedEvil · January 2014

Thuram although should have done better with the goal. It sounded like he made a few good saves to keep it at 1 nil

Conspiracy?

Covered End · January 2014

Officially ill.

Although, it does cross my mind as to whether he refused a place on the bench :-)

We'll find out soon enough.

Now if he can post up a sick note ......

Hmm, wonder if this was something we knew about? If so it would make sense why we let him go.

AmericanAddick · February 2014

Definitely something's wrong with him. Orient only signed him on a six month deal, so they had to be concerned too.

Rizzo · February 2014

Complications following beard removal.

On a more serious note, hope he's okay.

Covered End · February 2014

Perhaps, RD is a genius after all :-

It's possibly a family issue or mental health issue, but I suppose it's not nice to speculate.

I hope he/his family are ok.

Ben Alnwick will be away from the Club for a period of time having been signed off on medical grounds.

Alnwick only joined Orient from Charlton last week but a personal situation has arisen in the last few days which is currently preventing him from training or playing matches.

We will be making no further comment on the situation at this time.

Hope he recovers from whatever is stopping him from playing football soon. Seems like a top pro

cafctom · February 2014

Sounds like something serious, hope he's okay.

superdulvertonred · February 2014

Was top man for us wish him all the best and hope all is well in the near future.

The Red Robin · February 2014

Weird. I wish him well because he's a top goalkeeper on his day.

Henry Irving · February 2014

Good luck Ben and hope all is OK soon

Kap10 · February 2014

yes strange, hope he is alright and this is not soemthing we knew about and hid till we got rid. Looks like Thuram was an astute move now .... ish

Absurdistan · February 2014

Probably depression brought on from being Charltonised.
I wish him well.

this from me too. Maybe the Club was aware of some issue hence his leaving and I thought CP did skirt the issue a bit when asked.

Brendan_O_Connell · February 2014

Do you think Charlton had the "He's not our problem anymore" attitude when agreeing to sell him?

Harsh if they did, but that's business I suppose.

Hope he is okay and hope to see him in action again soon.
