All quiet at the moment, once again an England squad is announced with no Orient players in it (I did notice someone called "Terry" was in the team but it turns out it's Paul's brother. Apparently he plays for England regularly; I don't take much notice of these things). However, I reckon we have one player who could give Malcolm McLaren (or whatever his name is) some options, so the Adam Chambers for England campaign starts here!I had a look at the videos of Saturday's match, and have to say that we can't be too disappointed at not putting away the penalty. Having viewed it in slow motion, I'm pretty sure that the foul occurred outside the box anyway. In fact, there didn't look to be much contact, but the defender was clearly arguing about the postion of the foul rather than the fact of it. Stuart Nelson deservedly got into the team of the week for our division, but he had some sterling work by the two central defenders, Thelwell and Mkandawire, to thank for helping him to a clean sheet. With Brian Saah also available on the bench, we seem to have that part of the field sorted at the very least.Saturday sees us away to Crewe, defending our unexpected position as League leaders. This will be a big test of our early season form, notwithstanding our fine 4-0 win there last term. A point this time would be a very acceptable return, anything better a bonus. The nice thing is that whatever the result, we'll be above Southend in the table at a quarter to five. posted by MSW 12:56 pm . . .
