Back to the league after our deliberate 5 - 0 drubbing at Oxford. At the moment I fancy us to beat anyone, but it's Orient so I don't want to be too confident. Had Tranmere as one of my tips for promotion before the start of the season - it's been a bit stop/start from them so far, so it's...

Nope, West Brom

Hearing rumours of Asante to West Brom from $alford from a baggies friend of mine - not sure how much truth there is to it but anything that weakens those palm oil merchants is music to my ears.

Comfortable win for the Os, top of the league! Surprised Mansfield couldn't pull off a giant killing in their game...

Os are 50/1 with bet365 to win 5-0 on Saturday...

Harsh on Mansfield that, no way we deserved the 3 points, though I don't think we were 'battered', but certainly the second best team on the day. Stags will be up there come the end of the season, looked very sharp. 9 points on the board for us without conceeding and we've not really got out...

Mansfield look very tidy, they're edging this game so far with a couple of good saves from Vigs keeping us in it. So far the ref and the linesmen have been atrocious, the penalty we saved in the first 30 seconds looked offside, good chance for the stags just saved also looked very, very...

Away at Crawley for the Os. Was surprised to see them lose to Carlisle on the opening day given the players they've bought in, so hopefully they're still figuring how they want to play. Thought overall we looked good against Grimsby, we got lucky with the penalty (though upon reflection the...

Early goal of the season contender from Tom James yesterday, what a strike.

Good game down the Orient today, though 2 0 flattered us and I thought our penalty was pretty harsh on a decent Grimsby side who had their moments. That said our second was an absolute peach of a goal from Tom James who we badly missed last year with injury, and I think even without that we...

Buzzing for the start of the season, always so good to have football back in your life. Tricky game for us at home to Grimsby, I think at full strength we would have the edge, but with recent injuries, players returning from long lay offs and a couple of annoying suspensions we'll be running at...

I think we're looking pretty good going into the season, but it does look a stronger league than last time, depth could well be our achilles heel. No reason why we shouldn't be competing for the top 7 though.

Title says it all. Who do you think are some of the stand out players in League 2 going into the new season?

I think I'd agree with that assessment more if we were taking about us ahead of last year - but I think consistency and cohesion are incredibly important in League 2 (and any league really). Look at FGR, the season before last they finished 6th on 73 points, decent recent, but crucially they...

If Khan does go to Grimsby then I think that's a fantastic signing for them coming back up into the league. Thought he did a very good job for us under less than ideal circumstances, played an absolute blinder away at Walsall towards the back end of last season. But as Term & e10 have said...

Honestly, I think we're just pretty well run these days rather than being bankrolled like some other clubs. Our chief Owner (Nigel Travis) was (or is, I'm not sure) CEO of various US food companies, Dunkin' Donuts etc. He's not crazy rich but a very stable, sensible, smart business individual...

I'd be very happy with that. He's still a young lad learning the trade, but he's been given extended runs in the first team and has never looked that good in my opinion. Probably a League 1 player in there somewhere with coaching and a few more years (and muscle) on him, but I'd be pleased to...

Yeah the CM area is definitely our weakness right now, but with clay, pratley, coleman and brown I can't see us signing a 'big' player there. I don't think any of them are really that good, though I think the jury is out on brown, he could come good. Aside from that we look excellent across...

I know it's very early days, but I've got a good feeling about the Orient next season. We've managed to re-sign / retain all of our best players from last season, so we're looking solid in terms on continuity. We also looked a good side under Wellens towards the end of last season - throw a...
