Theo out for about 9 months according to RW needs complete knee rebuild.Ive got a feeling we won't see him again hope I'm wrong because i really like Theo wish him well Terrible news. Yes, he'd been playing really well too. He always put in a shift and was often our most creative player. I'd been hoping to see play with O'Neill, but seems a long way off now. You have to feel for him. |

What a team we are going to have next season a really exciting young team full of attacking players.I don't think we'll need many new faces in personally I'd love us to go all out to sign Idris and maybe try to get Forde back for another season.The future really is looking bright for the O's Couldn't agree more. If they were all fit, you would definitely have a squad that could challenge for promotion. The play-offs are probably a bit too much of a reach this season but I would definitely be optimistic about the next one. Idris has been outstanding and Forde has come on massively. We should certainly try to sign both if at all possible.

Well I thought Richie was teasing when he talked about the youngsters leading the line, but Pigs has disappeared from sight, either through injury or poor form, so curious to know what is going on there. Not difficult to work out, he just ain't good enough, simples |

I just wanted to say how loud it was when the winner went in. Fantastic.
Also thought I'd pass on these comments about last night's game from @stmirrendaft on Twitter. There is probably a way to put a link directly into his Twitter post but I couldn't work it out:
Leyton Orient v Northampton tonight. 7 goal thriller. 90+7 winner. One of the best games I've been to. I'd almost forgotten the sheer joy of the ball hitting the net with no VAR checks. Wee fraction of a second glimpse at the linesman maybe, but such a better experience.

It was said some time ago that we are unlikely to be able to sign Forde, but you never know. I imagine we will certainly do our best to sign Idris.
At any given time during the season, but particularly at very busy times like now, I'd estimate that at least two key players will be missing due to injury. That applies to all clubs, which increases the need for a strong squad. You can't cover all eventualities but I hope that several of the youngsters currently on loan may be match-ready for next season so that we have a stronger platform and can build on what we've already accomplished this season.

We know Ipswich will probably sell El Miz but I can't imagine Watford wanting to part with Shaq, unfortunately. He's been a revelation on the right side of the attack and looks a decent poacher in the CF role. It seems like those are both positions where Watford could use some depth. Maybe we could get him on loan for another year. |

No never know dub. but my opinion is that Shaq is not ready for championship football,so he may well be on loan again next season Personally I think he could play a role as a backup player in the Champ. QPR took a punt on playing Kelman after all and I think Shaq's significantly better. I suppose a team like Watford would be aiming for promotion though, so they'll probably be looking to upgrade on what they've got, which could make him 5th or 6th choice rather than 3rd or 4th. We'll see I guess. I'd be over the moon if him and El Miz are both here next season. |

The only way El Miz will still be here next season is if we buy him. I think the club must do everything to try and make that happen.
Id love Forde to be here too, but his good form will encourage Watford to put him in their Championship squad, and i doubt, we'll see him after this season

You can see underneath it says: their local press said just last week he is due a new contract when he returns to the club. Maybe they have an option? Who knows! My opinion has changed on him as the season has progressed that's for sure and he's proved me wrong! |

My opinion has changed on him as the season has progressed that's for sure and he's proved me wrong! Interesting. He only signed professionally at the start of last season, but they didn't announce how long the deal was. I would've assumed 3 years. The press could also be pushing for a new contract ahead of his last year, of course, so doesn't necessarily mean he'll be free this summer. Here's hoping he is 🤞 |

Some first rate attacking play tonight from the O’s - I thought O’Neill was excellent with Galbraith, Brown, Moncur and El Miz not far behind. Definitely miss Dan Happe at the back , Cooper doesn’t have his range of passing and Beckles remains an accident waiting to happen. The new loanee Edwards had the proverbial “ quiet debut” but the Bournemouth lad showed up quite well in the short term allotted. Honourable mention for Ruel - two excellently taken goals - interspersed with a glaring miss! 😄 Great entertainment - up the O’s!😄👍 Ruel comes off the subs bench late, carrying an injury and scores two cracking goals, the last the match winner, yet gets barely a mention on both forums from grudging fans ? Richie in his post match interview clearly likes him a lot though and likens him to the famous goal scoring Manchester United super sub ''Ole Gunnar Solskjær''

Ruel has a lot of admirers, me included. His ratings on the other place were pretty good. But has the ability to increase people’s frustration levels. It’s called inconsistency. Has the potential to be a top class striker, when he turns up. I make Richie’s comments spot on. Does well off the bench. |
