Absolutely, I have seen Tomi play in all the league games and I still don't know if he has ability or potential as he has had almost zero service so far in his career.

I would probably play

                        Brynn
Hutton     MacDonald       Baudry     FBT
            Gladwin    Reed    Khan
McKirdy            Tomi              Wakeling

As I cant see Lindsey wanting to make wholesale changes yet.
                  


Like the look of this for the most part.
I’d take MacDonald & Reed out and put Clayton & Darcy in

I’d go

Brynn

Hutton - McDonald - Clayton - FBT

Gladwin Reed Khan

Mckirdy Adeloye Wakeling

(Don’t think Baudry needs to do Sat/Tues when we can avoid, part of me thinks Darcy > Reed but I don’t see Lindsey dropping a POTS candidate from last season just yet).

I reckon Lindsey will play safe and go with experience and play both Reed & MacDonald.

I see the Orient forum has a prediction thread, most of the attendance guesses are around 6k

Seeing a lot of posts saying need to be playing Wakeling and McKirdy wide. Totally agree. Seems an obvious move.

Its pretty clear that neither Wakeling or Harry are central strikers, it just shows that we are lacking a proper central striker as he seems to currently not rate Tomi there.

And I bloody hope we dont go 3 at the back!

We did have a bizzarely low attendance of 5524 back in 2019 for the game against Stevenage. Doyle's late winner kicked off a 9-game unbeaten run taking us from 7th to 1st.

Tonight I'm predicting 7734 with 412 travelling fans, and a sneaky draw.

--------------------Brynn------------------
Hutton----McDonald----Baudry-------FBT
---------------Reed-----Khan--------------
Wakeling---------Williams---------McKirdy
-------------------Adeloye------------------

Wouldn't mind seeing this team start but three points is the main thing. First game of the season for me tonight.

Swindon 2-1 Orient.

Whenever I look at our side on paper it looks good.

I then quickly discover that it isn't.

So am I overrating our players or is our manager not yet up to the task.

Perhaps a mixture of both.

Looks good other than I'd start Darcy on merit, but based on the noises SL has been making, would say this is the best we can probably hope for.

I often wonder if its the management overselling the ability of the new signings?

It happened with Kovar and Stevens under Wellens.

Yeah, agree. Although the full backs/wing backs have left a fucking lot to be desired so far and seem to be our main weakness other than maybe a decent central striker. There are definitely some capable players in there.

It has some potential but it is not yet, just in my opinion, good.

Some have shown real promise in cameo's/one off games - Khan, Darcy and, to a lesser extent, Wakeling and Clayton.  However, they are either young or new to this level, so they are going to have bad games and look naive.

Some have looked very ropey to me - Brennan, Hutton, Shade, MacDonald, Harries.  Again, it could be the younger ones just learning their trade, but the rawness/frailties of each of these has looked more worrying thus far.

Then you look at someone like Baudry - we saw him look very poor in L1.  We know he can be OK in L2, but will he be reliable enough for a full season these days?  Tough to know.

I think Brynn is going to be best of the bunch - he has already shown progress and looks more than decent enough for L2.

Reed, McKirdy, Gladwin and Williams - we know they can indeed be good (even if not all performing right now).

On top of all that, I am not sure we have a good squad - not well balanced, and part of that is also Adeloye - I have no idea whether he is good, bad, indifferent, based on his minutes thus far.
