I wish we could play a friendly against a Premier league team We used to, but havent for some time now I cant see the point of playing friendlies against s***ty little non league teams.....there's no value in it, and the risk of injured players is always there I agree about playing some premier league/championship giants..I don’t agree about the “s***ty little non league team” bit though 😏 |

Alfresco The value is getting your team match fit against the lesser teams.

Probably Spurs ladies 😉 I wonder what the injury list will look like after these "friendlies" playing on varying surfaces with some gung ho opponents. Those with the mentality of Marlon Brando character in on the waterfront, the washed up boxer "Charlie I could have been a contender". Players who have missed the boat as regard their playing careers and want to prove a point. |

Those with the mentality of Marlon Brando character in on the waterfront, the washed up boxer "Charlie I could have been a contender". Players who have missed the boat as regard their playing careers and want to prove a point. Or want to impress a professional club. The thought of preseason injuries is always a concern but games need to happen. A necessary evil. But your assessment of risk is quite correct. I’ve seen it first hand, with players trying to prove a point against better opposition. |

Added in the friendly in Spain.
The O's will take on Juventud de Torremolinos on Thursday, July 25, as part of our pre-season training camp in Spain.
The tour to Southern Spain, sponsored by Gaughan Group, will see the O's take on their Spanish counterparts at 7.30pm local time, as Richie Wellens and his side look ahead to the 2024/25 Sky Bet League One campaign.
The fixture will take place at Estadio Municipal El Pozuelo, Torremolinos, Andalusia.
All Orient fans are welcome to attend the fixture, with ticketing information along with a possible live stream for the fixture, and details of a fan meet and greet will be announced in due course.

Comes the first League game we up the ante.Come on O's and stuff the moaners. The moaners, as you put it, got it right at the start of last season. And our lack of depth pointed out by moaners cost us. Oh and the January transfer moaners got it right too ultimately ruining our playoff hopes. But history won’t repeat itself, will it. RW and NT both say so. Look forward to a strong fully fit squad, with depth, enjoying a decent preseason. Let’s see if we have learnt anything. Hope so. Get boring when the moaners are right. |

If the board were looking at establishing themselves in League 1 and finishing mid table, they got it right didn’t they? |

When NT says we gotta move quicker, the clues are there. |

The moaners said we would get relegated.the moaners got that well wrong. The so-called moaners aren't all moaning about the same thing, are they? The "we're gonna get relegated" moaners are a very different faction to the "we should be winning two promotions in a row" moaners. |
