Can't get excited by this. Not much product but will keep RW happy by running all day and will help keep us ticking over for a promotion push in 2025/2026.

Totally disappointed in this signing. I trust RW so I'm with him, but this is poor in my opinion.
If Kelman and Perkins are in for very little money then fair enough. Maybe Idris is costing us a bomb and we need the cash to do that deal then OK I get it. In fact I will dance up down my street to Firestarter by the Prodigy if we sign him cos then I'm totally on board!

Presses from the front which is integral to how Richie wants to play and what he bemoaned so many times in interviews that we weren’t doing right last year. Front 3 options looking solid now with Jordan Graham, OON, Dan Agyei, Perkins, Kelman, hopefully a rejuvenated Pigott, a fit Theo and Pegrum in the wings. Yes, that's look ok up front, subject to the normal provisos of form and fitness.
Defence looking ok, subject to goalkeeper.
Midfield definitely needing attention. I'd have thought £350k for El miz was a steal, but I guess he'd need better wages than the O's could offer, and of course he'd want Championship football. He's definitely that standard so you can understand him wanting to go. He never let us down, so have to wish him well.

Maybe Idris is costing us a bomb and we need the cash to do that deal then OK I get it. In fact I will dance up down my street to Firestarter by the Prodigy if we sign him cos then I'm totally on board! We have gone for safe options. Both previously with the club. Kelman on loan with a view to a contract next season if he does well? But is the money really there? If we were a cash rich club then neither of our two new strikers would be on my target list for sure but we need to cut our cloth accordingly and whilst we would all love to be splashing the cash on strikers with a better pedigree, maybe right now we cannot. So we have recruited players likely to be OK, though not devastating. We are still weak in a number of positions and not a lot of point in getting a great striker if we don’t create chances and that is where I see is our biggest problem. Just look at England and their fire power up front. So I’m really interested in how we shape up in midfield plus the arrival of the Hunt replacement, a decent , fast, athletic attacking wing back. More to come in yet. RW hasn’t signed a new deal to stand still. And as lame as it sounds, we have not seen the best of Joe Pigott. Give him chances and he will score. Or an I being delusional? |

The latter part of last season saw George playing his best football for a long time.Holds it together when the going gets tough.
The question about Joe Pigott what team would he suit,as it is make or break for him at the O's maybe he will excel.

Underwhelming signing but he does have his qualities. Can't complain too much about not scoring if no one's providing. My main problem with him was always misjudging the flight of high/long balls.
Will at the very least be interesting to see how he's improved. Probably won't start too often.

We will have to see. |

The question about Joe Pigott what team would he suit,as it is make or break for him at the O's maybe he will excel. Been suggested Pigott may move on. Possible of course. If he doesn’t then he really does need to perform when he gets his chance. Great scoring ratio in league 1 a few years ago so we know in the right system he can score goals. Our system just doesn’t suit his game, down to him to adjust his game if he can. Right now a square peg so to speak. |

Who are we replacing at right wing? Got Jordan Graham back so thats covered. Agyei, Sanders, Theo, Pegrum… Graham isn't natural on the right, nearly all his career he has played on the left, the two players that filled the role last season after Theo's injury were Ruel and Shaq they have both gone, so that position needs looking at. True about shaq forgot about him.. But not sure if you’ve seen Graham play before to be fair he’s never been anywhere but on the right when I have. Theo was moved left last season as well |

Pigott seems a confidence scorer.he's hot or he's not.
RW has already said he feels he can't play the role Richie wants so its likely he will go poss on loan to a d2 club.
Id like moncur with us as he is quality in our league.but if he turns up first training day with a gut and pub team fitness,loan him out like pigott.

Theo was moved left last season as well Graham definitely played left for a while as a wingback. Probably feels like we played like that longer than we actually did. |

Charlie Robert Lee-Kelman signing for the Orient is the one bit of positive news the United States has had for the month unless you count the rise of our future President Hawk Tuah and I certainly do not. They are pretty aged on this forum I doubt they will be familiar with the work of Hawk Tuah girl. Try the proper British effort, that prison guard who filmed herself getting banged by inmates to further her budding porn career ✌️ |

He played on the left at Northampton and set up the equaliser but the other guy saying he is not a natural on the right is just wrong. Anyway, the world is still turning |

Have to agree with all of this ,what I don’t like is RW doesn’t like playing with an orthodox striker so if Dan A goes sick what then . Our MF doesn’t score enough to make up for the lack of striker scoring and our defence doesn’t bring much to the table . Bottom half of table I expect next season . |
