Early kick off versus what is supposed to be Orients first team, only 2 home friendless left, cheaper admission, lovely weather and a chance to see a bit more of some of the younger ones / triallists, Should be one of the better friendlies.
Im backing Loick to bag vs his old team.

Bit of a worry - Mott just gone off with a foot / ankle injury. Not sure how serious.
Happened when he dived to try to stop the third goal.
Sub keeper on - not Turner, will try to find out who sub keeper is.

Heard Sam went off to hospital hope not too serious for him.
We looked very good second half and the 3 up top (Rosco, Loick and Kurtis) will scare a lot of teams next year. Jake Gallagher makes a huge difference to our team he also had a good second half. I'm sure once the new Centre Halves settle we'll go from strength to strength!! Very promising 2nd half display. Well done lads keep going!

We have another 8 friendlies to work on team play on the pitch, When Jamie has got some minutes into them all you will probably start seeing more settled teams and less subs in the final 2 or 3 friendlies, That gives us 5 or 6 games against supposedly weaker opposition. I don't think you can expect any fluidity until the last couple of games while its early in pre season and we play mostly 2 separate teams in games in each half.
I think its harder to play out from the back with the ball against pro sides, Give the ball away and they bop it past you and its in the net. Last night would have been a huge benefit in improving as Orient at times were tremendous in the first half even though we gave the ball away a bit and didn't close them down when they had the ball.
Was great to see a few of our players going in to tackles, Ross, Jake and Doug all didn't bottle a challenge just because its pre season.
Enjoyed last night and second half we gave them big problems and were closer to them in every department. Guthrie is going to score plenty this season, his attitude on the pitch is first class and he works hard and is blessed with some tricks and pace, I might have a cheeky few quid on him each way for golden boot at stupid prices.
