The problem is the club actively look for these players ,who at one time were very good but have subsequently had loads of potentially career threatening injuries ,because they are cheaper and we HOPE they get over those injuries . But they don't ever seem to ! |

What happened to the “ 10 months” scenario put forward by RW midweek? |

But they don't ever seem to ! Ling has two major factors in looking for "value" players, 1=coming back from bad injury (paid off with Adam Chambers) and 2= looking to move back to the London Essex area. |

Well the O's will have first choice of the new facilities being planned for Whipps Cross when it's finished for the walking wounded⛑️ |

The occasional cameo appearance is the best we’ll get out of him. Are you saying he’s not match fit or he’s still not over his injury fully therefore he’s not fit let alone match fit? |

Out for 2-3 months according to RW. Shame as I thought he was shaping up pretty well in centre midfield. Whats he done? |

Are you saying he’s not match fit or he’s still not over his injury fully therefore he’s not fit let alone match fit? I’m not qualified to comment. What I see tells me 1. He’s not capable of going for 90 minutes 2. He’s reluctant to push himself physically e.g. by taking on an opponent on the outside 3. He seems to be in some degree of discomfort in the calf area. |

I suffered a "groin strain" at the height of my power and fitness. That was as technical a diagnosis as l could get. It cost me a complete season.

I was injury prone when playing sport,maybe that was the reason for my meniscus tear in both knees whilst working,never recovered although able to do really hard work in the construction industry.I have had a right swollen knee since 1974. |

We have been unlucky with players hitting form and then getting injured

I was really pleased when he signed. Disappointed not available to February.
But my take is this. Football is a squad game, players get injured or suspended so you need depth. Clare being out isn’t the big issue, it’s who replaces him and who is cover when substitutes are needed. We have no quality depth-wise. Loss of a key player a mega-issue. Bigger than it should be in reality.
I think back to all those comments from RW about what he needs pre-season. Did it happen? Nah. Currie, Ball, Clare came along late, but at least they arrived. Can’t help feeling that we have taken a chance on depth not really suited to our needs nor what RW wanted. At the same time shipping players better than their replacements.
The ramifications of pre-season planning and mediocre signings is what we see on the pitch. DON’T blame the players! DON’T blame RW.
