Plenty to like about that.

Tomlinson did an excellent job as a makeshift CB, Devine looked bright while he was on, McEachran his usual busy self. Clayton good too, as was Brynn. Lots of candidates, only two disappointments really were the two most experienced players who were well off the pace - Minturn had a few heartstopping moments, but he's so inexperienced you have to forgive him that.

I ended up going for George McEachran (not Josh ;) ) but could have been Brynn, Wakeling, RHM or even Tomlinson for me.

I voted for Josh, but meant George...

McEachran. Brilliant signing. Special mention for Minturn who stepped up to the plate

Properly rode his luck at times at the back making a couple of silly mistakes but did what was asked of him, can't fault his endeavour on hs league debut.

McCreachan might make it difficult for Khan to get back the Louis Reed role, great performance.

I would put Khan back in instead of the very average Kadji.

true

But I was fearful he would crumble under the pressure of a start against the league's best team.

He didn't imo. Most of the time I didn't notice him sticking out, which is actually meant as a compliment.

Indeed, he was at least on a par with most Brennan performances IMO.

I went Mceachran. Very good performance from him. Special mentions to
Minturn (bar one heart in mouth moment, RHM, Wakeling and Brynn who I thought were all good.

I went McGeachran but also loved Devine and thought Minturn did really well... not at all out of his depth...

For the second weekend in a row Clayton for me. Was everywhere. RHM definitely got something extra, hope he stays fit, could be the difference.

Went for Wakeling as he was up and down the pitch. Took his goal well and defended impeccably. Fantastic impact sub today.

Impressed with Devine. RHM very good.
George was excellent, but Clayton was outstanding.

RHM for me, however a few worthy.
He ran the channels superbly, got a few fouls and was a nuisance to Orient.

I'm in total agreement with this, RHM was an utter pain in the arse for Orient with his chaotic and erratic style. He ran tirelessly and was involved in the goal.

Chaotic is exactly the right word, he's the most effective footballer I've ever seen exist entirely off balance. He is almost never stood entirely upright.

*George mceachran
And I voted for him mom..

George or RH-M, Would've been Devine had he continued for the rest of the match as he had done up until he was injured.

I'll go RH-M as he was his usual nuisance-in-all-the-good-ways and played a part in the goal scored by Wakeling.

Narrowly RH-M over mceachran, he was a great outlet to take pressure off and worrying their defence, plus sliding a nice pass for  Wakeling's goal.

Rush for me, an absolute nuisance for the orient defence, never stopped running and a superb assist. Mceachran also played well, neat and tidy and technically excellent. Devine looked promising roaming down the left, certainly more direct than Iandolo. Such a shame to go off injured, sadly needs must and he was clearly brought back too early.

My final thought on Saturday was that I am not convinced Charlie Austin is the right player for the way Morris wants to play. Don't get me wrong, he always puts in a shift and never shirks anything but he's being adopted as a pressing forward and whilst the team always comes first, it's not going to get the best out of him. He'll go on to score a hat trick on Saturday and prove me totally wrong!

Almost forgot - Minturn is a confident character isn't he? Couple of times he got caught bringing the ball out of defence but he never let this affect him. Really impressed with him, he definitely will give referees things to think about, but he's a brave lad, kudos to come through Saturday so well in tough circumstances.

McEachran is currently averaging 16.5 votes per game, which is 10 clear of anyone else - that's some testament to his impact since coming in!

For once I was actually there to see what the camera couldn't (though also to miss whatever was going on the other end), and I thought Rushian was great - the sort of quick, awkward, physical player we've needed all season. He got my vote.

If its any indictment on JM's recruitment going forward, things will be looking bright.

I see he was born in Oxford (Kidlington)............

It's an odd one, he seemed to have as much, if not more, hype than his older brother at youth level, but has managed the sum total of 5 games in two loan spells in the Netherlands.  Probably need to temper our expectations - Wakeling shows that promise does not equal consistency, yet.  No doubt George is going to have some off games, maybe an off spell.  Looked neat and tidy so far.
