    So does Holden like Kirk and is keen to keep him around? Starting him in a friendly 3 weeks before the first game doesn't suggest to me that he's on his way out.

    Or is it more a case of we don't have any other senior strikers fit, so he's trying to see if this could work?

    I'd say more of the latter...

    Whilst I hope he's getting a chance as he shows moments - He's equally showing this half why he's too much of a risk, feels like we have ten men out there.

    Be telling how DJ does in what I suspect will be a similar role

    Probably competing with McGrandles would we say in the Midfield? - Very much a box to box type player by the looks of things
    Hopefully they are both competing with at least one player we haven't signed yet!

    May off after 45. Campbell on
  • LeuthLeuth
    Terry Smith is quite bad at reading the game sometimes. That offside was clearly against Campbell, not Kirk

    I very much hope so, based on the fact that we've not really replaced Morgan, and tried to get El Mizouni

    Neither Kirk nor CBT fit the 3-5-2 system

    Christ almighty, that throw in

    Christ he is so crap

    But Egbo does

    Btw, watching this, anyone would assume Terell Thomas is our best player. He's in the starting lineup for the season proper

    In a way, I’m glad we have an Albie Morgan regen coming out of the academy. I can just copy and paste all my complaints from the Albie thread and reuse them.

    Oh what a shame, I thought Kirk's effort had gone in

    Who? - You need to be more specific with this team ;)
    I have one particular player in this side I have zero time for - usually not hard to work out who (it's always a midfielder)

    We have looked very leggy in the second quarter. Orient look fitter and sharper. One or two of ours look absolutely knackered.

    I thought you meant him... I actually forgot that Henry was playing until you complained

    I think they both fit it more than Campbell who I think is the biggest loser from our formation change. 

    CBT played wing back for Jackson and did pretty well. Also once we have signed a proper LWB then he can be used as an impact sub which he is very effective at. From pre-season so far the wing backs have played very high up so probably a more attacking 3-5-2 than Jackson’s also 

    Kirk doesn’t really fit but he did play up front quite well last season against Pompey and burton. I think he will leave though as for that role as May’s backup I’m sure we’d rather use 2 of our own in Kanu and Campbell

    Egbo and Campbell combine to get behind the back line but no striker in position for the tap in

    Mitchell has been horrible. I haven’t seen much of him in the past.  Why is everybody so high his potential? Just one bad performance?

    Fraser, Egbo, Isted and Thomas looking solid.
  • DyerConsequencesDyerConsequences
    Nice move, feel like that's where if you have a more natural striker on the pitch they see that and have a tap in.

    And then they score

    Goal Orient 1-1 it had been coming.

    Decent goal.

    He'll hopefully do better in a more experienced back line - His best quality is his ability to bring the ball out, and usually his passing ability.

    He'll probably end being better in Dobson's role

    I thought Kirk was in a good position but the cross was poor? 
  • CallumcafcCallumcafc
    HT (if you can call it that) 1-1
  • ForeverAddicktedForeverAddickted
    I'll find out from my Leyton Orient colleague later, to see the measure of their teams that they've put out.

    I'm hoping this is their better squad

    End of quarter 2. Who's performing during the half-time show?
