Can it really be a decade since that play-off final victory over Plymouth at Wembley? In December 2015, while the club was celebrating Merton Council giving permission for a new stadium to be built on Plough Lane, there was little to smile about on the field. A long run without a win culminated in a home defeat against Stevenage after which the players snubbed fans by missing the post-match presentations to head off for their Christmas party and goalkeeper Ben Wilson went online to mock supporters. After a tough talking team meeting, an underperforming squad emerged into the New Year with a new attitude and started a run that carried them to the play offs where they beat Accrington over two legs before facing the Pilgrims in the final. The latest edition of the Historical Don has the details from every game as well as the battle to return to Plough Lane and the memories of Paul Robinson, Andy Barcham and others.

Is the West Ham U21 game at Rush Green or Plough Lane - our OS has both venues listed in different places ? On the London FA site it has our LSC tie at Woodford on Wednesday 21 January

Whilst I think Asiimwe is good, I don't think we have improved him during his stay so if I were Charlton I'd be tempted to get him back.

It’ll be a shame if Asiimwe goes back, I’ve enjoyed his freshness and enthusiasm - he has seemingly embraced his adoptive club ☺️

Looking at the Charlton forum they reckon Asiimwe will go back as they have injuries

I reckon Asimwe will go back in January so we’ll be on the look out for a replacement.

Definitely not in the know. Just a hunch.
One thing with Asimwe is heccan beat his opposing full back and 9 times out of 10 he puts decents crosses in and nearly always picks out a blue shirt. Only Seddon comes close

Buy now before it sells out
The big success for me has been Seddon, arguably better than Tilley. A great signing. Not convinced with Asiimwe, not seen enough of Bauer. Smith - you know what you were going to get, done ok. Bishop steady, nothing better. Hackford shows promise. Orsi awful.

Surbiton: completely disagree on that. It’s systematic if what is wrong at AFCW

Mark - as a second choice, he is fine. Like you say, probably cheap and hasn't been a disaster. You would obviously like a number 2 who challenges Bishop a bit more but I would rather money would be spent elsewhere.

A good signing for that reason.
Surbiton : McDonnell ? Really ?

Only got him because he was cheap.

Pretty sure he's on the highway to heaven, rather than the other road.
I would say Seddon, Asiimwe, McDonnell, Bauer and getting Smith on a permanent have been good signings. Bishop (mostly cause of the length of his contract), and Hackford have a bit to prove still. Orsi, Hughes and Splatt are the ones that I have been disappointed with. Orsi because I imagine he wasn't cheap and doesn't look up to it, Splatt cause of his injury record and Hughes cause I am not 100% sure if he is real.

The way we set up ain't great to be a striker that gets no/little service. NOTE,when we were getting lots of crosses in from wide areas we were scoring plenty of goals earlier in the season...

I agree that our recruitment this year seems to not be really as good as in previous years. I wonder, though if this is mainly down to our budget (ie even if you recruit well, if your budget is way below what is needed the players who yet get won't be good enough - basically nobody can do miracles). Given that our financial position is getting worse and the budgets of our competitors in L1 are much higher than they were in L2, that is at least a plausible reason for the apparent decline in standard of recruits.

Craig Cope gets a lot of plaudits for his recruitment record but this season it has been a bit mixed and when he makes a mistake it is usually when we've paid a fee for somebody and they don't fit into the way we play. Kelly was a significant panic purchase that has not worked out. I've no idea why he thought Orsi would be good enough for us when he wasn't for Burton, who soon realised their error and loaded him out. This followed on from another expensive purchase error of Davidson, albeit that was a Jackson error and he didn’t play him out of position (he was just crap).

I would be very sceptical if I was an Orient supporter of their proposed new ground. Going from it being your own stadium to one shared with all and sundry feels like they are an enabler to this development and could end up being a bit part in it.
While Orient's owner seems well away from the billionaire class, he can probably cover their outgoings for quite a while.

No idea whether he is a good or bad owner
6 million-very good analysis I agree with virtually all of it
