Hi all,
Leyton Orient fan here in peace.
Firstly, well done for surviving last season. Mowbray said he'd keep you up and you ended up doing it pretty comfortably, just a shame our manager was such a clown. I thought we had stuck you right in the mire when we beat you 1-0 but it was all downhill for us from there and you kicked on so fair play.
Onto what you guys will want to read:
I did a double take at work this afternoon, quietly repeating 'no' under my breath when I read this news. I'm so gutted because you guys have got yourself a real player here. I read the other thread and thought I would post one because a lot of your fans don't seem to know a lot about him so here I thought I'd fill you in.
Quite honestly, on his day- you will not find a better defensive mid around at this level. Works like an absolute dog, just snapping away and hounding opponents. He's one of those players where even you play like shite- he'll end up getting the honoray man of the match award because he's put a shift in. Will literally never give in and he epitomised our infamous playoff run the season before last. He's also very handy in the air. It doesn't hurt that he's a very good guy too. Arguably our most popular player amongst the squad and never shied away from meeting fans- on a side note, his English is perfect (just in case there were some doubts)
On the minus side- he hasn't played for us since March because he had a horrible injury and most Os fans thought he was pretty poor in general last season. I hope for your sake he hasn't peaked but the only other major negative I would say is that I believe (could be wrong) he only actually ever scored 1 goal for us (and in fact, I was there- a nice header from a corner). Never been one to get goals but that's not really why he'll be in your team.
So gutted to see him go and wish him the best at the SkyBlues!
